Greatest Hits

Snow Patrol is an alternative rock band which formed in Dundee, Scotland in 1994 and currently based in Bangor, Northern Ireland, where most of the band members are from. They consist of Gary Lightbody (vocals, guitar), Nathan Connolly (guitar, vocals), Paul Wilson (bass), Tom Simpson (keyboards) and Jonny Quinn (drums). Lightbody and Quinn are the only original members who remain in the band.   The band became wildly successful on both sides of the Atlantic on the back of their fourth record...

Bm	A	G x2

Bm		A		G
I find the map and draw a straight line
Bm		A		G
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
Bm		A		G
The distance from me to where you'd be
Bm		A		G
It's only finger-lengths that I see
Bm		A		G
I touch the place where I'd find your face
Bm		A		G
My fingers in creases of distant dark places

Bm		A		G
I hang my coat up in the first bar
Bm		A		G
There is no peace that I've felt so far
Bm		A		G
The laughter penetrates my silence
Bm		A		G
As drunken men find flaws in science

Bm		A		G
Their words mostly noises
Bm		A		G
Ghosts with just voices
Bm		A		G
Your words in my memory
Bm		A		G
Are like music to me

Bm			D	
I'm miles from where you are,
A			G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm			D
I pray that something picks me up
A			Cadd9
And sets me down in your warm arms

Bm		A		G
After I have travelled so far
Bm		A		G
We'd set the fire to the third bar
Bm		A		G
We'd share each other like an island
Bm		A		G
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
Bm		A		G
And dreaming pink wildfire
Bm		A		G
The last place we left off
Bm		A		G
Your soft skin is weeping
Bm		A		G
A joy you can't keep it

Bm			D
I'm miles from where you are,
A			G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm			D
And I pray that something picks me up
A			Cadd9
and sets me down in your warm arms

Bm			D
I'm miles from where you are,
A			G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm			D
I pray that something picks me up
A			Cadd9
and sets me down in your warm arms

Set The Fire To The Third Bar

Snow Patrol - Run - Uke

Am                             G
I'll sing it one last time for you
        Am             G
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all i've done.

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Anywhere from here

CHORUS:

C
Light up, Light up
          G
As if you have a choice 
                   Am
Even if you cannot hear my voice
                         F
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do.

CHORUS:

C
  Light up, light up
          G
As if you have a choice
                   Am
Even if you cannot hear my voice
                         F
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

VERSE:

Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess.

CHORUS:

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear.

What If The Storm Ends

G			C	
All this feels strange and untrue 
Em			C
And I won't waste a minute without you
G			C	
My bones ache, my skin feels cold 
Em			C
And I'm getting so tired and so old 


G			C
The anger swells in my guts 
Em			C
And I won't feel these slices and cuts 
G			C
I want so much to open your eyes 
Em			C
Cos I need you to look into mine
 

G			C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Em			C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes[x4]



G			C
Get up, get out, get away from these liars 
Em			C
Cos they don't get your soul or your fire
G			C
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine 
Em			C
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time 


G			C
Every minute from this minute now 
Em			C
We can do what we like anywhere 
G			C
I want so much to open your eyes 
Em			C
Cos I need you to look into mine 


G			C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes
Em			C
Tell me that you'll open your eyes [x8]


G			C

And I won't waste a minute without you


Open Your Eyes

A           E          D              A  
The perfect words never crossed my mind
'cause there was nothing in there but you
I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me,
All I wanted just spurred right past me,
While I was rooted fast to the earth,
I could be stuck here for a thousand years,
Without your arms to drag me out,


(Chorus)
A          E             D               A  
There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety
E               D
No I don't wait forever (x2)



(Repeat the same as above)

In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire,
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes,

There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety,

There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety,

No I don't wait forever (x3)

Signal Fire

A
Blood red lips like soft intentions
D
Kiss my eyes - they're black and blue
A
Even if I shouldn't be here
D
I cannot help myself with you
A
There's something that I should have told you
D
We won't get a second chance
A
Just one night is all we'll spend
D
Together and it's killing me, she...

And keep going!



C                  Am    Em    F
It's like we just can't help ourselves

C                 Am         Em       F
'Cause we don't know how to back down

C               Am      Em      F
We were called out to the streets

C               Am         Em     F
We were called in to the towns

C                  Am     Em         F
And how the heavens, they opened up

C               Am     Em      F
Like arms of dazzling gold

C               Am          Em      F
With our rain washed histories

C               Am        Em      F
Well they do not need to be told



C               Am     E m     F
Show me now, show me the arms aloft

C               Am     Em      F
Every eye trained on a different star

C               Am     Em      F
This magic

C               Am     Em      F
This drunken semaphore

C               Am     E m     F
And I



C     Em     Am   F
We are listening

        C      Em   Am  F
And we're not blind

C     Em   Am  F
This is your life

C                      Em
This is your time

C     Em     Am   F
We are listening

        C      Em   Am  F
And we're not blind

C     Em   Am  F
This is your life

C                      Em
This is your time



C               Am     Em      F
I was called out in the dark

C               Am     Em      F
By a choir of beautiful cheats

C               Am     Em      F
And as the kids took back the parks

C               Am     Em      F
You and I were left with the streets



C               Am     Em      F
Show me now, show me the arms aloft

C               Am     Em      F
Every eye trained on a different star

C               Am     Em      F
This magic

C               Am     Em      F
This drunken semaphore

C               A m    E m     F
And I

We are listening

        C      Em   Am  F
And we're not blind

C     Em   Am  F
This is your life

Called Out In The Dark

A		E	D	      A
We'll do it all, everything, on our own.
A	   E	    D         A
We don't need anything, or anyone.

If I lay here, if I just lay here

Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.

A              E	   D            A
I don't quite know how to say how I feel

Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

A		E	    D		     A
Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.
A		E	    D		    A
I need your grace to remind me, to find my own.

If I lay here, if I just lay here

Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

All that I am, all that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
A				   E
I don't know where, confused about how as well

just know that these things will never change for us at all.

A			E
If I lay here, if I just lay here

Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.

Intro/Verse: C, Am, G, F
Chorus: G, Am, F

C          Am       G              F
     The earth is warm next to my ear
C        Am    G                  F
     Insects noise is all that I hear
C          Am          G              F
     A magic trick makes the world disappear
C          Am       G                               F
     The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear

G                         Am              F
A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
G                              Am            F
The snow and tickertape blurs all my senses numb
G                                 Am             F
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
G                           Am             F
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch

C          Am       G              F
      Cold water, cleaning my wounds
C          Am       G              F
      A side parade, with a single balloon
C          Am       G              F
      I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
C          Am       G              F
      Blue as seas, running to them

G                         Am              F
I feel like I am watching everything from space
G                       Am            F
And in a minute I hear my name and I wake
G                            Am                   F
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
G                            Am                  F
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want

Finish Line

F                           F    
Please don't go crazy if I tell you the truth
        Bb                               G
No you don't know what happened and you never will if
F                           F               
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
       Bb                         G
This blanket is freezing its been out in the hall
           F                        F    
Where you fed me for hours till I'm sure what I want
            Bb                            G 
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
               F                        F     
So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way.

D                C#m
In eloquence and anger 
E
Are all we have 
E
Like Saturn's rings 
D           C#m     
An icy loop around me 
E
Too hard to hold 
E
Lash out first 
D                    C#m
At all the things we don't like 
E
Or understand 

Chorus:
                      C#m
And it's beginning to get to me 
                        B
That I know more of the stars and sea 
                    A     
Than I do of what's in your head 
                   E
Barely touching in our cold bed 
                     C#m 
Are you beginning to get get my point 
                             B
They're always fighting with aching joints 
                       A
It's doing nothing but tire us out 
                       E
No one knows what this fight's about 

Verse 2:
E
The answer phone 
D                   C#m
The lonely sound of your voice 
E
Frozen in time 
E
I only need 
D                    C#m
The compass that you gave me 
E
To guide me on 

                      C#m
And it's beginning to get to me 
                        B
That I know more of the stars and sea 
                    A
Than I do of what's in your head 
                   E
Barely touching in our cold bed 
                     C#m
Are you beginning to get my point 
                             B
They're always fighting with aching joints 
                       A
It's doing nothing but tire us out 
                       E 
No one knows what this fight's about 
                      C#m
It's so thrilling but also wrong 
                             B 
Don't have to prove that you are so strong 
                    A
Cos I can carry you on my back 
             E
After our enemies attack 
                    C#m
I tried to tell you before I left 
                    B
But I was screaming under my breath 
                            A
You are the only thing that makes sense 
                     E
Just ignore all this present tense 

E / A / B / A

E                     A
We need to feel breathless with love 
    B                      A 
And not collapse under its weight 
    E               A
I'm gasping for the air to fill 
   B                          A
My lungs with everything I've lost 
   E                  A
We need to feel breathless with love 
    B                       A
And not collapse under its weight 
    E               A
I'm gasping for the air to fill 
    B                         A
My lungs with everything I've lost

Just Say Yes

[A] [A+] [Cmaj7] [G]


[A]         [A+]     [Cmaj7]
Tell me if I'm going crazy

      [G]               [A] 
But everything you said amazed me

[A+]                     [Cmaj7] 
It seems too easy on the ear

   [G]                     [A]
To be something I should adhere to

[A+]                      [Cmaj7]
You told me to just simply wander

[G]                     [A]
Rather than take shelter under

[A+]                    [Cmaj7]
And open my heart to the thought that

[G]                         [A]
Life is something you're not caught at

Too easy to get lost in progress
I didn't see you there in that dress
And suddenly the world seems so small
We'd fit it all inside out front hall
And Edison would spin in his grave
To ever see the light that you gave
Don't wanna take it nice and slow here
Don't wanna waste a minute more dear


[Cmaj7]           [G]             [A]
The universe just vanished out of sight

[Cmaj7]                       [G]                 [A]
And all the stars collapsed behind the pitch black night

[Cmaj7]                   [G]             [A]
And I can barely see your face in front of mine

[Cmaj7]                    [G]             [A]
But it is knowing you are there that makes me fine

Maybe it's the warmer climate
Maybe I'm a smarter primate
Maybe it's the beer I'm drinking
Maybe I've stopped over thinking
Baby you're the words and chapters
The sweetness in the morning after
You are the cry that turns to laughter
You're the hope that ends disaster

[Cmaj7]           [G]             [A]
The universe just vanished out of sight

[Cmaj7]                       [G]                 [A]
And all the stars collapsed behind the pitch black night

[Cmaj7]                   [G]             [A]
And I can barely see your face in front of mine

[Cmaj7]                    [G]             [A]
But it is knowing you are there that makes me fine



[Cmaj7]        [G]             [A]
The universe is just an empty space

[Cmaj7]                [G]             [A]
And all the stars can disappear without a trace

[Cmaj7]                   [G]          [A]
I'm so glad that this has taken me so long

[Cmaj7]                      [G]           [A]
'Cause it's the journey that made me so strong

You could be happy and I won't know

But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wish I had not said

Is it too late to remind you how we were?

But not our last days of silent, screaming blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
                               F       C       Bb
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
                    F       C       Bb
You made me happier than I'd been by far
                   F       C        Bb
Somehow everything I own smells of you
                    F          C         Bb
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true


                       Gm     F     Bb
Do the things that you always wanted to
                           Gm            F          Bb
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
                     Gm       F       Bb
More than anything I want to see you, girl

There is a darkness deep in you 
E             A             E     A
A frightening magic I cling to 

Bridge
B
Just give me a chance to hold on 
A                        
Give me a chance to hold on 
B              
Give me a chance to hold on 
A            
Just give me something to hold on to

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
