Sleeping At Last - Emphasis Chords

[intro]
F#  B

[verse]
F#                B
 Death is promised to the bee
F#                    B
 Who's sting protects the colony.
G#m                 C#
 Was its life worth nothing more
                   F#
Than honey for the queen?
F#               B
 Life is a branch and it is a dove,
F#             B
 Handcrafted by confusing love.
G#m               C#
 Sign language is our reply,
                          F#
When church bells make no sound.
F#               B
 In hollow towers and empty hives,
F#                  B
 We craved sweetness with a fear of heights.
A#m                B
 Was it all just a grain of sand
C#           D#m    G#m   C#
In an hourglass?

[chorus]
    B                  F#
The smartest thing I've ever learned
D#m                   C#
 Is that I don't have all the answers,
B             D#m                C#
Just a little light to call my own.
          B           D#m
Though it pales in comparison
F#           C#
 To the overarching shadows,
B                    F#            C#
 a speck of light can reignite the sun
    C#7               F#
And swallow darkness whole.
F#               B
 Death is a cold, blindfolded kiss.
F#                        B
 It is the finger pressed upon our lips.
G#m                  C#
 It puts an unwanted emphasis
                      F#
On how we should have lived.
F#                   B
 Life is a gorgeous, broken gift.
F#                   B
 Six billion pieces waiting to be fixed.
A#m                     B
 Love letters that were never signed,
C#                D#m    G#m   C#
 Sent to where we live.

[chorus]
        B                  F#
But the sweetest thing I've ever heard
D#m                       C#
 Is that I don't have to have the answers,
B             D#m                C#
 Just a little light to call my own.
          B           D#m
Though it pales in comparison
F#           C#
 To the overarching shadows,
B                    F#            C#
 a speck of light can reignite the sun
                     B     F#  D#m  C#  B  D#m  C#
And swallow darkness whole.
