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