[Intro] E C#m7 Bsus E A E C#m7 Bsus E A
E A E
Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
C#m7 Bsus E A
Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
E A E
Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears
C#m7 Bsus E A
Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years
E A E
For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
C#m7 Bsus E A
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
E A E
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praises
C#m7 Bsus E A
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid
B C#m7
As the ten thousand highways unfold
A B C#m7 A
Their doors for the ten thousand standing on nineveh's shores
E
Where the blood of a husband
A E A B E
Silences wars for the girl who rises to meet him
A C#m7
And she sings world i've overcome you world i've overcome you
Bsus A Bsus
World i've overcome by my song and the blood of a son
E A E
But ten thousand rivers run red like my veins
C#m7 Bsus E A
Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage
E A E
For sinew to cling to for wind to remain
C#m7 Bsus E A
In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days
E A E
I'm breathing like a choir of holes in the ground
C#m7 Bsus E A
Where the cynical have lain where the cynical go down
E A E
Save the gravity time of lets go of her drowned
C#m7 Bsus E A
Like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound
B C#m7
As the ten thousand highways unfold
A B C#m7 A
Their doors for the ten thousand standing on nineveh's shores
E
Where the blood of a husband
A E A B E
Silences wars for the girl who rises to meet him
A C#m7
And she sings world i've overcome you world i've overcome you
Bsus A Bsus
World i've overcome by my song and the blood of a son
