Secure Yourself

  A {no guitar}                     G {no guitar} 
Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come 
        D {no guitar}                    A {no guitar} 
Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun 
 
Asus9    Asus9    Asus9    Asus9  
{instrumental} 
 
       Asus9                                          
In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed, through the thunder I could hear 
   you scream 
G                           D 
Solid to the air I breathe, open-eyed and fast asleep 
 Asus9                          
Falling softly as the rain, no footsteps ringing in your ears 
G                             D 
Ragged down worn to the skin, warrior raging, have no fear 
 
  Asus9                             G 
Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come 
        D                                Asus9       Asus9  
Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun 
 
I'm kneeling down with broken prayers, hearts and bones from days of youth 
Restless with an angel's wing, I dig a grave to bury you 
No feet to fall, you need no ground, allowed to glide right through the sun 
Released from circles guarded tight, now we all are chosen ones 
 
  Asus9                             G 
Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come 
        D                                Asus9  
Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun 
 
  Asus9 {hold}                      G {hold} 
Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come 
        D {hold}                         Asus9       Asus9    Asus9    Asus9 
Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun 
 
In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed, through the thunder I could hear 
   you scream 
Solid to the air I breathe, open-eyed and fast asleep 
Falling softly as the rain, no footsteps ringing in your ears 
Ragged down worn to the skin, warrior raging, have no fear 
 
Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come 
Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun 
Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come 
 (In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed, through the thunder I could hear...) 
Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun 
 (Solid to the air I breathe, open-eyed and fast asleep) 
Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come 
 (No feet to fall, you need no ground, allowed to glide right through the sun) 
Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun 
 (Released from circles guarded tight, now we all are chosen ones) 
Now we all are chosen ones, but now the night has come 
 (Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come) 
  D                                  A {hold} 
Released from circles guarded tight, now we all are chosen ones 
 (Fasten up your earthly burdens,    now we all are chosen ones) 
 
 
 
TAB: 
 
This tab is for the instrumental part right after the vocal/organ intro. 
 
The D's and U's under the chord names are Amy's strumming part; D for down, 
U for up.  Uppercase D's and U's are accented more than lowercase d's and u's.
