Damascus

Sufjan Stevens

Composed by: Sufjan Stevens
key: Am Tuning: E A D G B E
F                        C
  Does the border temple fall down
  Am
I fall down
            Em                             G
When the approaching light in me has stayed
It takes me back
F                        C
 Do you float the sanctuary
    Am
And bury
         Em                      G
What a messenger can trade in trades in

[Chorus]
         F
Takes me back against the everglades
C
Back against the out-of-state
            Am           Em       G
This is the last place I go for now
                Dm
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
                Am
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
             Em            G
This is the last place I go to
                Dm
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
                Am
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
             Em           G
This is the last thing I say

[Verse 2]
F                       C
  Does it matter that I fall down
   Am7
My wall down
         E7                        G
When the border is inside or remained
Brings me back
F                      C
  Do you know the adversary
    Am
And carry
        Em                     G
All the burdens of peoples' pasts

[Chorus]
         F
Takes me back against the everglades
C
Back against the out-of-state
            Am           Em       G
This is the last place I go for now
                Dm
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
                Am
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
             Em             G
This is the last place I go
                Dm
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
                Am
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
             Em           G
This is the last thing I say
                Dm
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
                Am
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
             Em           G
This is the last thing I say

[Bridge]
F C Am Em G

[Last Chorus]
     F            C
The road can be stronger
     Am           Em
The road can lay longer
     G
The road can
     F            C
The road can lay longer
     Am           Em
The road can be stronger
     G
The road can
     F             C
The road can lay longer
     Am           Em       G
The road can be stronger
