Am              C
More together than alone
        Am              C
From a hill, we saw it rain on the town over
 Am             C
Torch to your chin lights your cheekbones
         Am              C
In that moment, I saw a likeness to our father

     F             C        G
In American night, on that hill
        F
In the night

Dm
Pulled back to the night before
         Am
When the TV lit our brilliant, smiling faces
Em               Dm              C
Torch hits your face before the fall
Em                   Dm             C
Panic in the eye is similar to breaking horses

(An apparition lifts me up!)

    Em         D         C
An apparition lifts me up
          Em                   D
From its shoulders, I sit and see your
                 C
face above the tree line
 Em                   D                     C
Your reassurances subtitled in American English
      Em         D             C
I am calm as we sail down the hillside

     F             C        G
In American night, on that hill
        F   C F
In the night
