Intro: C, G, Em, D  [x2]    

C             Em
Our secrets, you hid so well

G                  C
A time capsule the future will not find.

C                                Em
And in the belly of a catacomb, a fuselage the future will not hide

G               C
Swallowed by his pride.

C                        Em
Its like a mobile phone that cant phone home.

G                      C
Its an endless ringing, and its a silent drone.

C
Its a passenger, a messenger

Em
A hectic and hysterical inside

G
They throw away our nations pride

C
And caution to the wind

C        Em       G       C
Like bank notes in the bin.

C        Em       G       D
Like bank notes in the bin. 


C                          G
So make angels in the snow, love a little more

Em                    D
Live with no regrets, for everything you do

C                          G        Em              D        
Because although the lights are on, there is no one home.

C                       G
And everything you are, everything you were, 

Em                        D
Everything youve beens not everything youll be.

C                   G              Em         D 
You tell me Im a grain of sand in an hour glass



C                        Em
So throw me a land line, this is more like a land mine;

G                                     C
Just one crossed wire, youll blow the floor beneath our feet
                      C
And the houses of the million civilians 

Em
Pre-packed with indifference inside.

G                   C
They throw away our nations pride 

C
And caution to the wind

C      Em      G        C
Like bank notes in the bin.

C      Em      G        D
Like bank notes in the bin.


C                          G
So make angels in the snow, love a little more

Em                    D
Live with no regrets, for everything you do

C                          G        Em              D        
Because although the lights are on, there is no one home.

C                       G
And everything you are, everything you were, 

Em                        D
Everything youve beens not everything youll be.

C                               G           Em       
Were really all the stars that burst in the universe

D
Of our alienation. 



G                 Am   Em       C
Well were such a long way from home.

G                  Am    Em      C
Lets dance in this universe unknown.



C                          G
So make angels in the snow, love a little more

Em                    D
Live with no regrets, for everything you do

C                          G        Em              D        
Because although the lights are on, there is no one home.

C                       G
And everything you are, everything you were, 

Em                        D
Everything youve beens not everything youll be.

C                               G           Em       D
Were really all the stars that burst in the universe

    C   G   Em   D
Of our alienation. [2x]



C                          G
So make angels in the snow, love a little more
