That is the biggest fear I suppose,
A6 A
Is it? When you stop believing in you,
F#m E
And you stop being mild (?) to you,
D A Asus4 A
Than you just stop being…

Desolation, desolation.

[Verse 1]
A
They say that God is in the detail,
E D A
And I'm sure that's true,
F#m
I run my thumb across Egyptian stone,
E D A
And the images come through,
A
I see the bird, I see the dog,
E D A
I feel the weather deep inside my shoes,
F#m
I see the light upon my hand,
E D A
As I receive uncertain news,
A
Suddenly I realise I'm living the lie,
E D A
My father planned for me,
A
With the sun beating on my back,
F#m E D Dmaj7
I see I am the lonely man of Galilee.
[Chorus]
A E D Dmaj7
And if I ride my way across the shattered stones,
F#m E D Dmaj7
Will I ever see the bleaching of the bones,
A E D Dmaj7
Of the boy I used to be when I still sang,
F#m E D
Before I lived in fear of dying on my own,
E D
I cannot die alone.
[Post-Chorus]
F#m E
"And I miss my baby,
A D E
I miss him all through the night,
F#m E
They're gonna kill my baby,
A D E
And stars are shining bright".

[Verse 2]
A
I enter certain distant lands,
E D A
And see young women dying inside,
F#m
They hold young children by the hand,
E D A
But luck is not upon their side,
A
Cold shards of space rip through their clothes,
E D A
And pierce the heart that bears the pain,
F#m E
In grief and bandages they walk a thousand miles,
D A
Of driving rain,
A
If a woman should bathe my feet,
A
Because she loves me,
E D A
And I'm not even there,
F#m E
What does they say about the emptiness I feel,
D A
Or the power of prayer?
A
All kinds of power circle me,
E D A
I raise my arm and the world goes boom,
A F#m
But I see no me in women's eyes,
E D Dmaj7
I suffer like a child in an empty room.
[Chorus]
A E D Dmaj7
And if I ride my way across the shattered stones,
F#m E D Dmaj7
Will I ever see the bleaching of the bones,
A E D Dmaj7
Of the boy I used to be when I still sang,
F#m E D
Before I lived in fear of dying on my own,
E D
I cannot die alone.
[Post-Chorus]
F#m E
"And I miss my baby,
A D E
I miss him all through the night,
F#m E
They're gonna kill my baby,
A D E
And stars are shining bright".

[Verse 3]
A
On a ship the sailors are all smiles,
E D A
But there is nothing in their eyes,
A
In fact their eyes are dead,
F#m E D A
But the horror is that love is their disguise,
A A6 A
They turn to laugh among themselves,
E D A
And I live in terror of this sound,
F#m
Their words and cadence do not match,
E D
And I can smell blood in the ground.
[Outro]
F#m E
"And I miss my baby,
A D E
I miss him all through the night,
F#m E
They're gonna kill my baby,
A D E
And stars are shining bright".

Desolation, desolation, desolation,
E D E
Desolation, desolation, desolation,
E D E
Desolation, desolation, desolation,
E
Desolation . . .
