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