Tom: C
G
After the forest fire
Among the black trees
Bm
Among the carcasses
I found your gold key
G
And when your father called
Hid in the deadwood
Bm
And all the birds flew up
I thought they understood
[Chorus]
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
G
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
Bm
Uh oh, midnight eyes
D G
Uh oh, we played with guns.
[Verse]
G
It was the day before
The day before this
Bm
And we had party plans
And party dresses
G
Out on a crowded street
And I talked a man down
Bm
He wanted peace in death
He wore a gold crown
[Chorus]
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
G
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
Bm
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
D G
Uh oh, we played with guns.
[Bridge]
G Bm G
[Chorus]
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
G
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
Bm
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
D G
Uh oh, we played with guns.
UNTILTED HIDDEN TRACK
Beautiful, existential elegy following the last track on the album 'Unicorn'.
[Outro]
C Dm
The pivot that we circle round
Em
Find something to hold
F
And learn to be afraid
G C
While we wait for more.
Dm
You made me never want to lie
Em
Course I have before
F
Everything polarised
G C
And now we wait for more.
Dm
Honouring our wild devotion
Em
Awash in morning warmth
F
It sleeps a distant notion
G C
And now we wait for more.
Dm
I'm clearing out my flat today
Em
And taking off the doors
F
No history, no gates,
G C
We wait for more.
Dm
Baby we could go away
Em
Between the night and dawn
F
Your life ahead in frames
G C
We wait for more.
Dm
All the traits we dislike
Em
We count them as our own
F
Sick of being unkind
G C
And now we wait for more.
Dm
Everything you'll ever dream
Em
Someone dreamed before
F
Won't you chase them, please
G C
We wait for more.
