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