Postcards From Mars


Tom: Am

Am G C G F
Am G C G F

[Verse 1]
Am      G       C
Falling without a warning
              F               G
Bursting sand in a trench on a dune

Am      G         C
Falling when it's unforeseen
                    F       G
Like the sound of a popping balloon

[Chorus]
   Em       F        G      Am
Before you know the ice has grown
     C         F          C
Every step is a risk on it's own
                F             G
Every crack is a chill to the bone
         C           F          G     F C G
When you sink you'll be sinking alone
F   G           Am
into the unknown

[Bridge]
G C G F
Am G C G F

[Verse 2]
Am            G      C
Father, where are you, father?
                       F             G
Striking sticks to the bricks of the room

Am     G      C
Maybe I don't deserve this but
                      F         G
give me sparks to dispel all the gloom

[Chorus]
Em          F    G            Am
Before you know Your clothes outgrown
C         F        C
Every step is a step on your own
                F             G
Every crack is a chill to the bone
         C           F          G     F C G
When you sink you'll be sinking alone
F   G           Am
into the unknown

[Post-Chorus]
Am                  G
Before it leaves me numb
              C        F
Let's build a bridge to calm
         G              C   F    C   G C
Try to outrun and let us overcome
F    G    Am  G C G F
oooo oooo ooo

[Outro]
