[Intro] 

Dm  F  Gm  A#m


[Verse 1]

                 Dm               
There’s a set of rickety stairs
                           F
In between my heart and my head
                                       Gm             
And there ain’t much that ever bothers going up them
                   A#m
Here we go, i'm at it again
Dm                                      F
And once it’s started it’s so tricky to stop
                                          Gm
Suddenly reminded of things I thought I’d forgot
                              A#m
You’ve got me loosening up my grip on the plot


[Chorus]

A#

             Gm
And It feels like
     C#                       F
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
            Gm
You’d got a look in your eyes
C#
As you snuck in the side


[Verse 2]

Dm F Gm A#m

                Dm
And the place I thought I was at
                      F
Hasn’t yet invited me back
                                      Gm
The trouble with the chase is it’s so easy
To crash
                                       A#m
Why colour in the lines if you’re just painting
It black?


[Verse 3]

Dm                                        F
I thought they were kisses but apparently not
                                              Gm
Do you end all your messages with an ‘X marks the spot’?
                                    A#m
Just let me know when you want your socks
Knocking off


[Chorus]

A#

             Gm
And It feels like
     C#                       F
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
            Gm
You’d got a look in your eyes
C#
As you snuck in the side
F
Guess there’s nothing like the element
   Gm       A#m Dm
Of surprise


[Outro]

C#             F
The element of surprise
C#             F
The element of surprise
C#             F
The element of surprise
C#                      F
The element of surprise

The Element Of Surprise

Bm            F#m              Bm            F#m 
I can still remember when your city smelt exciting.
Bm            A              C#7
I still get a whiff of that aroma now and then.
Bm            F#m            Bm             F#m 
Burglary and fireworks, the skies they were alighting.
Bm            A                C#7
Accidents and toffee drops and thinking on the train.

            Bm          F#m               
Oh he was young in the frost,
C#m                F#m                Bm
No regard for the cost of saying his feelings 
        F#m              C#m    F#m
in the moments they were felt.
              Bm        F#m               
And if he was calm like you, 
C#m                      F#m                
locked up inside of your loops them hed know 
        Dm
full well that all he had to say was, 
                         F#m
all he had to say was goodbye.


Bm              F#m          Bm              F#m 
Summertime made promises it knew it couldnt keep.
    Bm             A            C#7
The fairytale was climbing up a mountain far too steep.
Bm           F#m      Bm              F#m 
Color in the pictures with your royal hands. 
    Bm            A                      C#7
Now I am craving heartbreak while youre making your demands.


            Bm          F#m               
Oh he was young in the frost,
C#m                F#m                Bm
No regard for the cost of saying his feelings 
        F#m              C#m    F#m
in the moments they were felt.
              Bm        F#m               
And if he was calm like you, 
C#m                      F#m                
locked up inside of your loops them hed know 
        Dm
full well that all he had to say was, 
                         C#7
all he had to say was goodbye.
              Bm        F#m               
And if he was calm like you, 
C#m                      F#m                
locked up inside of your loops them hed know 
        Dm
full well that all he had to say was, 
                         F#m
all he had to say was goodbye.

Calm Like You

E
Well we were kissing
 
It was secret
           A                    B
We’d had to sneak beyond the kitchen
            E               
Both well aware that there’d be trouble
         A               B
If the manager should find us
            A               B                     Dbm       
You’d got a leaning tower of pint pots in your hand
        F#m               A           Dbm B  - Fast
You can carry much more than I can


[Chorus]

    F#m                B                 E
And a wicked gale came howling up through
     Abm     Dbm
Sheffield City Centre
           F#m               B              E      Abm    Dbm
There was palm tree debris everywhere and a Roman Colosseum
           F#m            A   B       E
Isn’t it boring when I talk about my dreams


[Verse]
         E            
I’m in a building and I notice
         A                   B
That I’m surrounded by the ocean
        E           
I get a feeling, I start running
             A            B
Don’t really know why I am running
             A               B
I never really know why I am running
          Dbm
‘til I get caught 
      F#m        A        Dbm B  - Fast
Want to wake up to my dream report


[Chorus]

       F#m              B
And the snow was falling thick and fast
       E          Abm     Dbm
We were bombing down Los Feliz
  F#m                B
It was You and Me and Miles Kane
   E         Abm      Dbm
And some kid I went to school with
       F#m            A  B
It must be awful when I talk about my…


[Bridge]

  A                     Ab
Visions of the past and possible future
                        Dbm
Shoot through my mind and I can’t let go
  C         E            A
Inseparable opposing images
   F#m                   Am
When can you come back again?



[Instrumental]

E A B x 2


[Chorus]

    F#m                   B                 
And a wicked gale came howling up through
  E   Abm     Dbm
Sheffield City Centre
           F#m              B              E      Abm    Dbm
There was palm tree debris everywhere and a Roman Colosseum
           F#m              B         Dbm    F#m
Isn’t it boring when I talk about my dreams
           A           B             E
Isn't it torture when I talk about my dreams

Hanging onto arguements

The Chamber

F          D
Now I know jealousy
                            Bb
I caught you talking to the real me
C                          Bb
Can't tell you how unhappy that shit makes me
C
If you hear him calling, promise you'll ignore him



F               D
He's kind of my enemy
                             Bb
Whenever I'm on to something good you see
C                       Bb
He always waltzes in to spoil it for me
C
And I can see him starting, want to break my heart then that's the way to do it



Gm             C
Glass-bottomed ego
Am                              D              Gm                    C
It's still afloat but can't you see the cracks appearing in the base?



F               D
There ain't no ejector seat
                                          Bb
When you're haunted by the sweet smell of self-esteem
C                            Bb             C
And you've got yourself as a backseat driver



F              D
Spilled the unspillable beans
                              Bb
And I've dreamed every single impossible dream
C                         Bb
I just can't remember any of the details
C
Let's just have a buzz because by the time I'm done fucking beating myself up
There'll be nothing left to love



Gm          C      
I feel like the sequel
Am                         D            Gm                    C
You wanna see but you were kinda hoping they would never make



Bb
Yeah I'm the mystery man that's been unmasked
F
I'm getting caught in my own trap
A                 A7             Dm     D
I'm leaning in to kiss the past goodbye
Gm                        C
Yeah I'll be leaving now, I'm making tracks
      F          Fmaj7   D
And I doubt that I'll be coming back
       Gm
Oh the night is young, baby make it a blast
C                                    
Cause you know it's growing up so fast


F D Bb C Bb C


Gm             C
Glass-bottomed ego
Am                             Dm       F      G7                    Bbm
I'm still afloat but can't you see the cracks appearing in the base?

Tell him what you want and baby he can find you anything you need
                        Bm     A
Tell him what you're needing, oooh
        D
Come on Miracle aligner, go and get 'em tiger
F#m

Bm      A
again, oooh

E                                 G#m
Fifty feet tall and revved up too high
                              D                    C#m
All of our exchanges are by candle light, I just realised
E                                  G#m
He'll walk through the walls and creep up behind
                                      D                      C#m
Make sense of the maze that you were stuck outside, cover your eyes

F#m                           B
Often the humble kind but he can't deny
G#                        A
He was born to blow your mind
Am                        E       D
Or something along those lines, tonight

Bm      A 
again, oooh

So what's the wish, he'll make it come true
                          D
Simple as a line out of a Doo Wop tune
                 C#m
He'll make the moves

F#m                           B
Often the humble kind but he can't deny

Gm                      Cm                F                       Gm   
About as subtle as an earthquake I know my mistakes were made for you

Gm                         Cm                      F                    Gm
And in the back room of a bad dream she came and whisked me away, enthused

Gm                                                
And it's as solid as rock rolling down a hill 

    Cm                                F
The fact is that it probably will hit something

                      Gm
On the hazardous terrain



Gm                                                                  
And we're just following the flock, round 

                 Cm
And in between before it smashed to smithereens 

       F                                    Dm   
Like they were and we scrambled from the blame

Dm            Cm                                                        
And its the fame that put words in her mouth 

Dm
She couldn't help but spit 'em out

Cm                         Dm
Innocence and arrogance entwined...

                      Gm 
In the filthiest of minds



Gm                        Cm              F                    Gm
She was bitten on her birthday and now a face the crowd, shes not

Gm                     Cm                     F                   Dm   
And I suspect that now forever the shape she came to escape is forgot


Dm      Cm                            
And its alot to ask and not to sting

 Dm                         
Give her less than everything

  Cm                            Dm
Around your crooked conscience she will wind

And in between before we smash to smithereens

  G                                       E
Like they were and we scramble from the grain.

Two years have gone now,

I hope you understand.

Standing Next To Me

D
I just sort of always feel sick without you baby

                        F#
I ain’t got anything to lick without you baby

               G
Nothing really sticks without you baby

                  Gm
Ain’t I fallen in love?


              D
It’s just the pits without you baby

                     F#
It’s really just the pits without you baby

                       G
It’s like everyone’s a dick without you baby

                  Gm
Ain’t I fallen in love?


    D                               F#
And all my pals will tell me’s that I’m crazy

            G                Gm
You bet I’m loopy alright!

                 D                            F#
And I just don’t recognize this fool that you have made me

        G                       Gm
I ain’t seen him for a while


            D
And as your shrinking figure blows a kiss

  F#
I catch and smash it on my lips

G
Darling I can’t seem to quit

Gm
Completely falling to bits


  D
I really might be losing it

    F#
The idea that you’ve existed

G
all along’s ridiculous

Gm
I don’t know what to say

Baby we ought to fuck seven years of bad luck

Out the powder room mirror

Could I have made it any clearer


     G           Em          Bm
It’s love like a tongue in a nostril

G            Em          Bm
Love like an ache in the jaw

           G            Em            A7     Bm
You’re the first day of spring with a septum piercing

C               Am
The colder the night gets
Dm                G
The further she strays
C                A
And he doesn't like it
Dm          G
Being this way
C                 Am
And she tried so hard

To steer away
                G
From the meeting place
C         Em       Am      D     G
But her heart had led her there

C  Em  Am  Dm  G  C  Am  D  G

C     Em       A
She clings to his consciousness
D            G
Wherever he lays
C                Am 
He struggles to sleep at night
D               G  
And during the day
                     C  Em      Am
He's worried she's waiting in his dreams
D            Em           G
To drag him back to the meeting place
    C   Em    Am   D    Em
His love had left him there
            G
Where the voices still echoes

Dm                G
"I'm sorry I met you, darling.
Dm                G
I'm sorry I met you."
        Em 
As she turned into the night
All he had was the words
Dm                G
"I'm sorry I met you, darling.
Dm                   G
I'm sorry I've left you."

For weeks they had strolled around
D            G     Em 
Playing the fools
F          Am            Dm 
They knew the time would come
     D              G
And time would be cruel
                E       Em  Am 
Because it is cruel to everyone
       E          Em        G
He's crying out from the meeting place
      Em        A     Em   Dm
He stranded himself there
 G
Where the voice still echoes

Dm                G
"I'm sorry I met you, darling.
Dm               G 
I'm sorry I met you."
         Em 
As she turned into the night
All he had was the words
Dm                G
"I'm sorry I met you, darling.
Dm                    G
I'm sorry I've left you."

If only they were seventeen

Waiting patiently

Hiding from himself

As well as everybody else

Without permission

His face became wet

He thought that he learned

How to not get upset

Dm
From folded notes in envelopes

"Meet me beneath the moon"

Don't go too soon

She went too soon

Hey, honestamente te explicaré

El mar, el sol, el gas,

Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets

To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds

I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
