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