Maybe that it would do me good
     F6                    G
If I believed there were a god
           G7        C
Cut in the starry firmament
                          F
But as it is that's just a lie
              F6           G 
And I'm here eating up the boredom
      Gsus4      C
On an island of cement
                          F
Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it
        F6             G
Open window and I'll steal it

Some days i'm bursting at the seams
with all my half remembered dreams
and then it shoots me down again
i feel the dampness as it creeps
I hear you coughing in your sleep
beneath a broken window pane
tomorrow girl i'll buy you chips
a lollipop to stain your lips
and it'll all be right as rain    Am

this ain't no love that's guiding me

on winter trees the fruit of rain
is hanging trembling in the branches
like a thousand diamond buds
and waiting there in every pause
that old familiar fear that claws you
tells you nothing ain't no good
then pulling back you see it all
down here so laughable and small
hardly a quiver in the dirt    Am

Say Hello Wave Goodbye

Intro: C  D  C  D  C  D  G  Em

C          D                C
This years love had better last
       D               C
Heaven knows it's high time
              D             G            Em
And I've been waiting on my own too long
C            D                C
But when you hold me like you do
            D
It feels so right
C          D
I start to forget
       G
How my heart gets torn
          Em
When that hurt gets thrown
        A                 C
Feeling like you can't go on


C       D                  C
Turning circles when time again
               D           
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
C      D              G             Em
If you love me got to know for sure
C            D                   C
Cos it takes something more this time
                 D
Than sweet sweet lies
C        D          G
Before I open up my arms and fall
       Em
Losing all control
      A               C
Every dream inside my soul

And when you kiss me
        G
On that midnight street
         Em
Sweep me off my feet
        A                  C
Singing ain't this life so sweet


C          D               C    D  C  D  G  Em
This years love had better last


C          D               C     D
This years love had better last
C               D
'Cause who's to worry
       G
If our hearts get torn
          Em
When that hurt gets thrown
          A                   C
Don't you know this life goes on

And won't you kiss me
        G
On that midnight street
         Em
Sweep me off my feet
        A                  C
Singing ain't this life so sweet


C          D               C     D
This years love had better last
C          D               C     D
This years love had better last
C          D               C     D
This years love had better last
C                          G
This years love had better last

    Never knew quite what I had
    C                      Em            Em7
    Little darling if you hear me now
    Am                   G
    Never needed you so bad
    F                         Dm 
    Spinning round inside my head
 
  CHORUS
    Am

    Am     C   
    Sail away with me
    F         Dm
    What will be will be

  VERSE 3

    I've been talking drunken gibberish
    C                      Em            Em7
    Fallin' in and out of bars
    C                       Em         Em7
    Trying to get some explanation here
    Am                       G
    For the way some people are
    F                        Dm
    How did it ever come so far?

[Verse]
G            Em              C/G                    Csus2/G   C/G
Tears falling slow. From the bridge into the river below.
        G               Em            C/G                     Csus2/G   C/G
In your eyes I start to see. A starry veil and the oceans of infinity.

[Chorus1]
Cm               D      G        Bm       Em        G    C
moon and stars above me mingle with the blood inside my veins.
Cm                D        G         Bm            Em         G      C
empty arms that should be holding me close through nights of winter rain.
        G          Bm        Em       G           C
and I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain.
Cm                 D
It's colder than ever
       G     Em    C/G  Csus2/G       C/G
coming down

[Verse]
                    G                        Em
Now I'm drowning in shallows, cause It's in so deep
             C/G                                 Csus2/G    C/G           
There's neon melting in the rain, I took too much powder to sleep
                G                       Em
When I hold you naked, when I hear your laugh
        C/G                          Csus2/G         C/G
I got a sword to stem the rivers and cut the moon in half..

[Chorus2]
Cm               D      G        Bm       Em        G    C

Cm                D        G         Bm            Em         G      C
empty arms that should be holding me close through nights of winter rain.
        G          Bm        Em       G           C
and I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain.
Cm                 D
It's colder than ever
       G            F            Bb                    D
coming down, coming down, coming do_________wn, coming down
       G            F            Bb                    D
coming down, coming down, coming do_________wn, coming down

[Verse]
we danced wild, kicked off our shoes
not a cloud in the the sky to confuse.
now the sky is cold and the sea is white
and there's nothing to be done except reflecting the sun
and scratching the mountain side

[Repeat Chorus2]

[Verse]
                        E     A         F#m            
     A       B
All of my senses overthrown      by the might of your skin
           E                          A    F#m    E  
           A      B
And the lamplight on your cheek bone ,    drawing me further in

[Chorus]
   C#m                          B
No sentence I can speak for the wonder so unique
C#m             B               A
Breaking like a wave upon the shore
E              A      F#m             G#m        
       E
Mercy me, I'm falling free, since you opened the door

[Verse]
                             E      A             F#m         
       E
See how the sky is made of sapphire,  the colours flowing through our hands
A           B             E
The moon is fire in your hair
A         F#m               E                   A    
   B
A million miles beyond what science understands

[Chorus]
C#m                            B
Smell that mountain heather, I don't remember ever
C#m              B       A
Feeling like this before
E              A      F#m             G#m        
       E
Mercy me, I'm falling free, since you opened the door

[Middle 8]
   G#                      A                 B                
     E
If every windowpane should shatter, if every wall should fall apart
         G#                             A
Well it might hurt a bit, but would it matter
          B              A     G#m
With this diamond in my heart

[Verse]
        F#m        E                     A
There's no need to nail it to the ground
   F#m     E                      A      B
No need to smother it with sense
     E                            A          F#m
Just listen to the rhythm of your heart that pounds
             E              A       B
And trust it all to chance


[Outro]
          C#m                            B
Cos we're standing face to face with the angel of grace
    C#m            B       A
And don't it just taste so pure
E             A       F#m
Mercy me, I'm falling free
E             A       F#m
Mercy me, I'm falling free
E             A       F#m
Mercy me, I'm falling free
          G#m           F#m
Since you opened up the door

into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am

Am

         Dm

    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am

I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
