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#
