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