Under The Concrete

Tom: G

Em         C               G
Nothing is bolder than the jump
From the window sill
Em           C
Into the depths of hell
         G
Into the clutches of The Devil himself
Em                    C           G
But never mind, that talk is a little premature
Em           C                    G
I have many sins worse to commit first

Em
Under the dead weight
    C
Of all that grey
G
Concrete creeping
Em
Covering all of the children
C
All of the flowers
G
Never ceasing
Em    C      G
To be all I am
Em   C      G
All that I am
Em   C
All I am
      G
All that I am

Em                    C
And now from a higher spot
          G
There is certainly a great danger
Em             C             G
That maybe my soul would float up into the sky

Em
Where all of the people
C
Dancing and clapping
 G
Would greet me with such warmth
Em
Stealing glances
  C
At our old teachers
  G
Wondering if they remember
Em  C   G
Who we are
Em  C   G
Who we are
Em      C
All that we are

Em
Under the blue sky
C     G
Under the aeroplanes
Em
All of the people
C           G
Under the concrete

Em
And all of the plastic
C
All of the traffic
G
Filling up our throats
Em
Everything's keeping
C
Nothing is breathing
G
Under the harsh light

Em
Under the blue sky
C
Suddenly my
G
Eyes were stinging
Em
For all the people
C
Under the concrete
G
Never ceasing to be all I am
