Verse
A
After the forest fire
Among the black trees
C#m
Among the carcasses
I found your gold key
A
And when your father called
Hid in the deadwood
C#m
And all the birds flew up
I thought they understood
[Chorus]
D
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
A
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns
D
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
C#m
Uh oh, midnight eyes
E A
Uh oh, we played with guns.
[Verse]
A
It was the day before
The day before this
C#m
And we had party plans
And party dresses
A
Out on a crowded street
And I talked a man down
C#m
He wanted peace in death
He wore a gold crown
[Chorus]
D
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
A
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns
D
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
C#m
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
E A
Uh oh, we played with guns.
[Bridge]
A C#m A
[Chorus]
D
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
A
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns
D
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
C#m
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
E A
Uh oh, we played with guns.
UNTILTED HIDDEN TRACK
Beautiful, existential elegy following the last track on the album 'Unicorn'.
[Outro]
D Em
The pivot that we circle round
F#m
Find something to hold
G
And learn to be afraid
A D
While we wait for more.
Em
You made me never want to lie
F#m
Course I have before
G
Everything polarised
A D
And now we wait for more.
Em
Honouring our wild devotion
F#m
Awash in morning warmth
G
It sleeps a distant notion
A D
And now we wait for more.
Em
I'm clearing out my flat today
F#m
And taking off the doors
G
No history, no gates,
A D
We wait for more.
Em
Baby we could go away
F#m
Between the night and dawn
G
Your life ahead in frames
A D
We wait for more.
Em
All the traits we dislike
F#m
We count them as our own
G
Sick of being unkind
A D
And now we wait for more.
Em
Everything you'll ever dream
F#m
Someone dreamed before
G
Won't you chase them, please
A D
We wait for more.
