Song: The Great Exhale
By: Great Lake Swimmers

[intro:]  |Em |D  |C  |C  |Em |D  |C  |C  |

[verse: 1]
Em          D     C             C
Look at the names carved into rocks
Em          D         C             C
Look at the days when they were lit up
Em          D        C            G
Brush of my hand and I feel their age
Em       D                  |C    |C    |
Years of radiance, years of rain

[chorus:]
        G                    D                 |C    |C   |
And the world stops spinning when you stop spinning
G              D             |C      |C   
Sighs when you sigh when you sigh
           Em                D            |C    |G
I'm coming home so leave the light on for me
    Em               D        |C    |G    |
I'm drawing over the luminous veil
Em         D         C           G
When I get in I will see you all there
    Em             D       |C     |G    |
I'm drawing on the great exhale

[solo: guitar] |Em |D |C  |C  |Em |D  |C  |C  |

[verse: 2]
Em            D         C          C
   Uncertain ground so I walk lightly
Em          D             C          C
Translating names of lost families
Em         D            C              G
Somebodys' sleeping that you should not wake
Em                D         |C    |C   |
Drifting whispers over damp clay

[chorus:]
        G                    D                 |C     |C    |
And the world stops spinning when you stop spinning
G              D            |C     |C   
Sighs when you sigh when you sigh
           Em                D            |C   |G
I'm coming home so leave the light on for me
    Em               D        |C     |G    |
I'm drawing over the luminous veil
Em         D         C           G
When I get in I will see you all there
    Em               D     |C      |G    |
I'm drawing on the great exhale

[bridge:]   
Em{let ring} D    C{in}  Em
Wide       open spa____ces         
Em      D      C     Em 
Been asleep a long  time
Em      D       C    Em
Punctuating     places
Em      D         C    Em
Coming up like   old  teeth

[coda:]
          Em                D         |C     |G
I'm coming home so leave the light on for me
    Em                  D     |C     |G      |
I'm drawing over the luminous veil 
Em          D         C           G
When I get in I will see you all there
    Em               D     |C     |G
I'm drawing on the great exhale
     Em                 D     |C     |G   |
I'm soaring in on the great exhale
