Intro: A A C#m D A  (just in the live versions, not on the album)

A      C#m         D      A
disappear in complete disarray
A   C#m              D         Bm
reaffirm what our grandfathers say
A       Bm            C#m
love the kisses that I'll be sending you
A       Bm            C#m
play the rhythm that I'm pretending to
A       Bm            C#m                Bm                C#m 
take the time to find out why I bowed out why I bowed out

D                  Bm
I was flat on my own my darling
D                  Bm
I fought the lessons of grace for so long

A         C#m          D         A
when your trip's only five meters long
A      C#m                D        Bm
and you find you've grown all along

A           Bm         C#m 
join the living in noxious lullaby
A           Bm         C#m
only sleeping cabrones could sympathise 

A           Bm     C#m           Bm
only they could forget their conciousness  
D                 Bm
I was flat on my own my darling
D                 Bm
I fought the lessons of grace for so long
A                                 C#m
you can't stop laughing if you can't stop falling
Bm                                C#m 
it makes you wonder whether he is calling 
Bm
give them a token 
C#m        Bm         A
give them a token to play
A                          C#m
the phone stops ringing when I play your number
Bm                               C#m
but no bad loving could pervade my slumber
Bm 
give them a token 
C#m                Bm     A
give them a token to play
A     C#m           D       A
minor love can be shorn by a scarf
A     C#m           D       Bm
fairytales are beheld to depart
A                                      C#m
you can't stop laughing if you can't stop falling
Bm                              C#m
it makes you wonder whether he is calling 
Bm
give them a token 
C#m       Bm           A  C#m D     D C#m Bm A
give them a token to play
