Sleeping At Last - Emphasis Ukulele Chords


F#                B  
Death is promised to the bee
F#                    B
Who's sting protects the colony.
G#m                 B
Was its life worth nothing more
     C#             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               B   
Sign language is our reply,
     C#                    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.
G#m                B
Was it all just a grain of sand
C#           D#m    B   C#
In an hourglass?

Chorus:
    B                  F#
The smartest thing I've ever learned
C#                    D#m
Is that I don't have all the answers,
B             F#                C#
Just a little light to call my own.
          B           F#
Though it pales in comparison
C#          D#m
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                  B
It puts an unwanted emphasis
   C#                  F#
On how we should have lived.

F#                   B
Life is a gorgeous, broken gift.
F#                   B
Six billion+ pieces waiting to be fixed.
G#m                     B
Love letters that were never signed,
C#                D#m    B   C#
Sent to where we live.

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

   F#  C#  D#m  B  F#  C#  C#7  F#
