Leaders Of The Free World

The Seldom Seen Kid

Asleep In The Back

Cast Of Thousands

Elbow is an alternative rock band which formed in Bury, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom in 1990 while at sixth-form college. The band consists of Guy Garvey (vocals, guitar), Mark Potter (guitar, vocals), Pete Turner (bass), Craig Potter (keyboards) and Richard Jupp (drums). Over the band's 20 year career, it has released five studio albums, four EPs and ten top fifty singles in the UK.  The band is named after a line in the BBC TV mini-series The Singing Detective which says that the word &quot;elbow&quot; is the most sensuous word in the English language...

D                        C     G
I plump the kind of kiss that wouldn't wake a baby
               D                           C     G
On the self-same face that wouldn't let me sleep
        D                        
And the street is singing with my feet,
                        C                       G
And the dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller
            F   G   D                     F      Em D
All down to you, dear____, everything has changed

          D                     C   G
My sorriness has made it to graffiti
             D    C              G
I was looking for someone to complete me

      F     G   D                     F      Em   D       
Not anymore, dear____, everything has changed

        F        G        D
When we make the moon our mirror ball
    F           G     D
The street's an empty stage
    F    G       D  
The city sirens violins
F          Em   D
Everything has changed


C/E      G     D 
(So) lift off love         
C/E     G       D
Lift off love         

 D        
We took the town to town last night
                  C           G
We kissed like we invented it
    D
And now I know what every step is for
              C     G
To lead me to your door

                   F  G D                 F Em D
Know that while you sleep, everything has changed

   F        G         D
We made the moon our mirror ball
    F           G     D
The street's an empty stage

The barre chords used in the riff after too many times to change are:
(F# G A G F# E) x2

And the second time:
(F# G A G F# E) x2
G# A G F# E
G# A G F# E

I believe during the I'll take you home/Sweetness don't be bashful section the same thing is played
throughout but it's hard to tell, improvements would be appreciated

Cigarette holes for every lost soul
To give up the ghost in this place
Give me strength
Give me wings

So in looking to stray from the line
G
We decided instead we should pull out the thread that was 
Bb
Stitching  us into this tapestry vial
F
And why wouldn't you try? Perfect weather to fly

# Outro: C G Bb F (Repeat)

Weather To Fly

The end of this track is used in the end of Peter Kay's charity single for Children In Need UK 2009.

&quot;Grounds for Divorce&quot; is the first single from Elbow's fourth studio album The Seldom Seen Kid. The single was released on 10 March 2008 as the band's first release on Fiction Records across two 7&quot; vinyl records and one CD single.  On 21 May 2009, &quot;Grounds for Divorce&quot; won the Ivor Novello award for Best Contemporary Song.  &quot;Grounds for Divorce&quot; was featured in the promotional trailer for Valve Software's 2008 game Left 4 Dead, and in the trailer for the 2008 film Burn After Reading. It was also featured in an April 2010 promo for the CW's &quot;One Tree Hill&quot;.

Como intro:
Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Am
Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Am
Reflexionando en esto,
C5
la madrugada pasó,
B5 / Am / G5 / F5# / Em
y dejó otro día para ser.

Vender, comprar.

Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser

Culpable o inocente, malviviente o juez.
O quien con sólo su firma decreta la ley.
Pronucleares informistas modelan la situación.
Más tecnología, por más energía.
Fuga radiactiva de progreso.

Vender, comprar.

Como cualquier día, como todo día
Con o sin mi reflexión.

me sentirás

las aguas en tus ojos

vibran su dulce brillo

una piel y una flor

son tus pechos,

que no piensan menos mal,

oh por favor,

gira loca girasol . . .

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

eres mi esperanza,

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

y como un fondo un cielo . . .

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe

tal vez me sentirás

tal vez me sentirás
