The Maccabees


Tom: C

       C       Dm         F 
Under lock, chain and key
C             Dm         F 
Thought I’d find it easier
          C     Dm     F 
To just keep you to me
C             Dm         F 
When the wisdom and the patience
           C      Dm    F 
Of the world’s wasted on me
                 C      Dm            F 
That’s when I shut down my relationships
             C    Dm        F 
Watch them floating out to sea

         C                  F 
I understand that it never ends
             C                                    F 
She’s waiting round every corner; round every bend
   C                                              F 
And it hurts to know that I won’t know if you knew how the summer went
        C            F 
I understand silence

G             F             C
I understand that it never ends
                      G          F             C
She’s waiting round every corner; round every bend
               G           F               C       F
When you’re scared and lost don’t let it all build up
           G
Break the silence

C               G            F
Someone to call a best friend
C               Dm           F
Someone to be there when it ends
                C                F          G/      F
When you’re scared and lost don’t let it all build up
         G
Break the silence
