   D              Am      G
An hour since the sundown
      D                 Am  G
The ghosts are creepin' in
     D          Am     G
Are gathering around me
       D               Am C
Like starlings in the wind
             D          Em E
Dark shapes gather round

Voices like my brother's
Are whispering to me
But I don't know these others
Who want to set me free
Come home you're out of time

        Am      Bm      Em
But the life cannot let go
        Am          Bm       C
It's a chain cuts across my soul
     Bm        D       Dm
Anchoring in this world

Chorus:
   A             G       D
I put my hand into the flame
 A             G       D
Burning but I feel no pain
A                    G       D
Don't speak, don't speak my name
 A               G        D  Am
Hold on to this life of chains

The door is standing open
But I'm too tired to be afraid
My whole life's in this moment
I've been fighting all the way
Just need a little more time

Because the life just can't let go
It's a chain cuts across my soul
Anchoring in this world
