Sirens

[Intro]
C Csus2 C Csus2 Am

[Interlude]
C         Csus2
 Hear the sirens.
C Csus2 Am
          Hear the sirens.

[Verse 1]
C         Csus2
 Hear the sirens,
C         Csus2        Am
 Hear the circus so profound.
 C         Csus2
I hear the sirens
C         Csus2            Am
 More and more in this here  town

[Pre-Chorus]
       G
Let me catch my breath to breathe
D          C         Em
And reach across the bed
G
 Just to know we're safe
  D   C         Am
I am a grateful man
    G
The slightest bit of light
D        C       Em
And I can see you  clear

[Chorus]
   Am
Oh,  have to take your hand
    C               G                  Dm
And feel your breath for fear this someday will be over
Am
  I pull you close,
C               G                    Dm
 so much to lose knowing that nothing  lasts forever
F             C
 I didn't care before you were here.
G                         Dm
 I danced in laughter with  the ever after
F
 But all things change
C               G
 Let this remain

[Post-Chorus]
C Csus2 C Csus2 Am

[Verse 2]
C         Csus2
 Hear the sirens
C         Csus2          Am
 Covering distance in the  night.
    C             Csus2
The sound echoing closer.
C          Csus2           Am
 Will they come for me next  time?

[Pre-Chorus]
    G                     D
For every choice, mistake I've made,
     C      Em
it's not my plan
G                       D    C      Am
 To send you in the arms of another man
    G                     D
And if you choose to stay I'll wait,
     C    Em
I'll understand

[Chorus]
   Am
Oh,  it's a fragile thing
     C           G
This life we lead
                   Dm              Am
If I think too much  I can get overwhelmed by the grace
C                G                    Dm
 By which we live our lives with death  over our shoulders
F                C
 Want you to know that should I go
G                        Dm
 I always loved you, held  you high above,
too.
F                  C                   Em
 I study your face, and fear goes away.

  It's a fragile thing,
     C            G
this life we lead.
                   Dm              Am
If I think too much  I can get overwhelmed by the grace
C                G                    Dm
 By which we live our lives with death  over our shoulders

[Outro]
F                C

too.
