Introducción:

          D  
A bus station, in the steam from the rain
                Bm                         A                    G                                                            D  
In this line of pale strangers, should I go or stay?
                                                     D  
The whole field of vision, fades beneath me now
                        Bm                         A                                    G  
And the houses spread for a million miles,
                                        D  
in this gray town
                          Bm                    Bm7                            G                                    A  
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand
                             Bm                    Bm7                            G                                    A  
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance
                             Bm    Bm7    A  
Would you fall to pieces
                             Bm    Bm7    D  
Would you fall to pieces
                             Bm    Bm7    A  
Would you fall to pieces
                                        D  
In the high countries?
                                D  
We are just pilgrims of the great divorce
             Bm                                 A                                      G                                                              D  
I am witness to the light and I am captive to my own remorse
                     Bm                    Bm7                            G                                    A  
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand
                     Bm                    Bm7                            G                                    A  
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance
(Chorus)
                                     A                         Bm                                 G                                 D  
You drink the cup to the bottom, but it burns in your hands
          A                                    Bm                      G                    A  
The cup was poured out on the Maker instead
                             D  
Out on the green plains, I am but a ghost
             Bm                 A                                         G                                                                    D  
Bound up with all that I call mine  still the light grows
(Chorus 2x)
