Mumford & Sons – Babel Chords

‘Cause I know that time has numbered my days
And I’ll go along with everything you say
But I’ll ride home laughing look at me now
Through the walls of my town, they come crumbling down

And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
And I know that choices colour all I’ve done
But I’ll explain it all to the watchman’s son
I ain’t never lived a year better spent in love

‘Cause I’ll know my weakness, know my voice, and I’ll believe in grace and choice
And I know perhaps my heart is fast, but I’ll be born without a mask

Like the city that nurtured my greed and my Pride
I stretch my arms into the sky
I cry Babel, Babel look at me now, through the walls of my town
The come crumbling down

You ask where will we stand , in the winds that will have
As all we see will slip into the cloud
So come down from your mountain and stand where we been
You know our breath is weak and our body thin

Press my nose up to the glass, around your heart
I should’ve known I was weaker from the start
You’ll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
To tear, tear them down, well I’m gonna tear, tear them down

‘Cause I’ll know my weakness, know my voice, and I’ll believe in grace and choice
And I know perhaps my heart is fast, but I’ll be born without a mask
