Verse 1:
    D       Dsus                    D            Dsus
A bus station, in the steam from the rain
      Bm          A        G                       D   Dsus
In this line of pale strangers, should I go or stay?
                    D    Dsus                  D          Dsus
The whole field of vision, fades beneath me now
         Bm          A              G
And the houses spread for a million miles,
               D   Dsus
in this gray town
Pre-Chorus:
          Bm        Bm7           G              A
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand
           Bm        Bm7           G              A
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance
           Bm  Bm7  A
Would you fall to pieces
           Bm  Bm7  D
Would you fall to pieces
           Bm  Bm7  A
Would you fall to pieces
               D        Dsus
In the high countries?
Verse 2:
            D      Dsus               D     Dsus
We are just pilgrims of the great divorce
     Bm             A               G                        D
I am witness to the light and I am captive to my own remorse
Pre-Chorus:
        Bm        Bm7           G              A
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand
        Bm        Bm7           G              A
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance
(Chorus)
Bridge:
              A          Bm             G             D
You drink the cup to the bottom, but it burns in your hands
    A              Bm         G        A
The cup was poured out on the Maker instead
Verse 3:
           D          Dsus            D     Dsus
Out on the green plains, I am but a ghost
     Bm       A                G                          D   Dsus
Bound up with all that I call mine; still the light grows
(Chorus 2x)
