***Here are the four chords used in the verse(s) and below is the
order with lyrics...
G C G
You were cold as the blood through your bones
C G G/F# Em (Walk down low E string)
And the light which led us from our chosen homes
C G
Well I was lost
G
And now I sleep
C G
Sleep the hours and that I don't weep
C G G/F# Em
When all I knew was steeped in blackened holes
C G
I was lost
