Nickel Creek - Celebrants

                [Verse]
G
..My God, it's good to see you

Right here in the flesh

Where we can turn the stuff we need to

Get off of our chests

Into something we can sing through

Something we can sing through
                  G#susaddb9
The work that lies ahead

[Refrain]
Em      G 
As one beleaguered people

A camel being threaded through whichever blessed needle

Before we forget
       G 
This place was our cathedral
                        G#susaddb9
These strangers were our friends

[Refrain]
B/Eb
Sing Ho for the gatherings

We took them for granted then

Didn't we?

O fellow celebrants
                      
Ah but fool us once right?
B
..Ho for the gatherings

For having what we had again
         G#m7
Now that we

Know fellow celebrants

What the hell it meant?

[Interlude]
C#    Gm

[Verse]
      F 
It's more than good to see you

It might be the cure
                
The opportunity to be who
              
We played like we were
                    
To be echoes that ring truer
              F#susaddb9
Than the shouts before
 Bb            F    
That was me preaching communion
                       Bb  
Even as I prayed for space
             F 
Til it was granted in such profusion
           Dm            C/E   
That I've about lost my taste for it
     F 
And saying what I'm doing
 Gm          
While what I'm really doing
 Am                     F#susaddb9   D
Keeps me from doing what I say........

[Refrain]
C#m
Sing Ho for the gatherings

We took them for granted then

Didn't we
C#m
O fellow celebrants

Ah but fool us once right?
A 
Ho for the gatherings

For having what we had again

Now that we

Know fellow celebrants

What the hell it meant?

[Bridge]
 C
Damned if we let the clock tell

Us when it's time for bed
              G         
'Cause it'll take a couple cocktails

Just to pick up the threads
       G      
We'd given up for lost till
 F            Em 
Given up for lost till
     D                   G#susaddb9
The world finally stopped ending

Yes only
 Em 
Once we've
 G  
Woven them together
         
Will we sleep like the blessed
         Em
Having given back the devil
                                 G                    Am   Bm   C
Satisfied that heaven's always been in this cathedral............

[Outro]
             D 
It's always been in this cathedral
 C              Bm
Been in this cathedral
  Am             G 
Heaven's always been in this cathedral
Am
..That we all
Bm                 C#m
Rebuild nightly together
