Sirens

	 
[Intro]
C         C9  C     Am Asus4 Am Asus4 
Hear the sirens   Hear the sirens
[Strophe]
C              C9  C                      Am Asus4 Am Asus4 
Hear the sirens, hear the circus so profound 
C              C9  C                         Am Asus4 Am Asus4 
I hear the sirens, more and more in this here town
[Interlude]
G   G/A   G/B  G/D                     Cadd9          Em 
Let me catch my breath to breathe and reach across the bed 
G     G/A       G/B    G/D          Cadd9           Am 
Just to know we're safe I am a grateful man 
G   G/A   G/B  G/D                                   Cadd9   Em 
This life has been a light and I can see you clear
[Refrain]
Am                     C                   G 
Have to take your hand, and feel your breath 
                 Dm 
for fear this someday will be over 
Am           C            G 
I pull you close, so much to lose 
                        Dm    Em 
knowing that nothing lasts forever
[Refrain]
F          C                      G 
I didn't care before you were here 
                         Dm                 Dm/A 
I danced with laughter with the ever after 
F               C                       G 
But all things change. Let this remain.
[Strophe]
C              C9  C                      Am Asus4 Am Asus4 
Hear the sirens covering distance in the night 
C              C9  C                      Am Asus4 Am Asus4 
The sound echoing closer, will they come for me next time?
[Interlude]
G*                                       Cadd9        Em 
For every choice, mistake I've made, it's not my plan 
G*                             Cadd9        Am 
to send you in the arms of another man 
G*                                     Cadd9        Em 
And if you choose to stay, I'll wait, I'll understand
[Refrain]
Am                C                         G 
It's a fragile thing, this life we lead 
                  Dm 
If I think too much, I can get over- 
Am               C                    G 
whelmed by the grace by which we live 
                   Dm                   Em 
our lives with death over our shoulder 
F            C                      G 
Want you to know that should I go 
                     Dm               Em 
I always loved you, held you high above too 
F              C                       G 
I study your face, the fear goes away

The fear goes away

                G            Dm      F   C   G      Dm          F
