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