C     C9    C    C9
  Hear the sirens
Am    A4    Am   A4
  Hear the sirens

[First Part]

C           C9
  Hear the sirens
C          C9         Am    A4  Am  A4
 Hear the circus so profound
C           C9
I hear the sirens
C          C9           Am   A4  Am  A4
 More and more in this here town

[Pre-Chorus]

        G         A7(4)     G/B        G5/D    C9       Em
Let me catch my breath to breathe And reach across the bed
G          A7(4)     G/B   G5/D  C9           Am
 Just to know we're safe I am a     grateful man
      G        A7(4)  G/B      G5/D  C9       Em
The slightest bit of light And I    can see clear

[Chorus]

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

( C  C9  C  C9 )
( Am  A4  Am  A4 )

C           C9
  Hear the sirens
C          C9              Am   A4  Am  A4
 Covering distance in the night
     C              C9
The sound echoing closer
C           C9          Am       A4  Am  A4
 Will they come for me next time?

[Pre-Chorus]

    G       A7(4)     G/B       G5/D       C9      Em
For every choice, mistake I've made, it's not my plan
G       A7(4)        G/B  G5/D    C9       Am
 Or to send you in the    arms of Another man
    G        A7(4)     G/B       G5/D  C9          Em
And if you choose to stay, I'll wait,  I'll understand

[Chorus]

Am                            C       G
  It's a fragile thing, This life we lead
                Dm
If I think too much, I cant get over
Am                 C                G
  Whelmed by the grace By which we live
                Dm                  Em  F
Our lives With death over our shoulder

              C                  G
Want you to know, That should I go
                     Dm                   Em  F
I always loved you, Held you high above, true
              C                        Em
I study your face, And the fear goes away

[Solo] Em  C  Am
       Em  C  D

The fear goes a--way

 The fear goes away
