A beautiful song which is very straightforward to play... Standard tuning, Capo 1 to replicate the key used on the recording Intro ===== Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm G Verse 1 ======= Bm A Take a moment if you dare G Bm Catch yourself a breath of air G F#m There's another life out there Bm And you should try it Verse 2 ======= Bm A Dead ends hide on every street G Bm Look before you place your feet G F#m Cracks and fissures keep the beat Bm And you're inside it Refrain 1 ========= Bm Every thought you never dared to think G Every mood you always knew would sink Bm Every line you spoke out loud in a jest G All the time you took to be your best Bm Soon forgotten G Bm G Verse 3 ======= Bm A The sun must never touch your skin G Bm It could expose the dark within G F#m Bm You're paranoid a-bout the para-noia Bm A And panic hits with-out a sign G Bm You worry about it all the time G F#m Bm Every perfect moment is a hidden warning Refrain 2 ========= G Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin Bm And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in G With everything this way it's better to forget Bm A Than end up in a place with something to regret Bm G Bm G Verse 4 ======= Bm A Your transatlantic shopping spree G Bm Your health forever guarantees G F#m Bm Or-ganic bio life's a breeze in cosy prisons Bm A But hiding out in the salad bar G Bm Isn't gonna get you far G F#m Bm And bottled wine is vinegar to-morrow Refrain 3 ========= G Everything around here makes your pretty head spin Bm Its piling up high and you're back where you begin G Moments you have tried so hard to forget Bm A Are promising to have been the best ones yet Refrain 4 ========= Bm Every time you shut your eyes it appears G Every time you trace your steps back here Bm None of your convictions have the same old ring G No doubt you found a place for everything Bm/E In cosy prisons G Verse 5 ======= Bm A So if you're careful G Bm You won't get hurt G F#m But if you're careful all the time Bm then what's it worth ----------------------------------------- I hope I've done it justice!
