VERSE 1:
Bm
Give me something to hold
     D       D/C#     Bm
That lasts until I'm old
Bm
That won't get changed or rearranged
        D        D/C#      Bm
When it all gets bought and sold
        D        D/C#      Bm
When it all gets bought and sold

Bm
Keep me on the run
D         D/C#   Bm
Alive and forever young
Bm
As the leaves die under the Autumn sun
        D     D/C#     Bm
And the final day has come
        D     D/C#        Bm
And the web's been finally spun


PRE-CHORUS 1:
G
Meet me in my hidden place,
[ch]Bm/G[/ch]
Where I hide my disillusioned face
G
Off the beaten track where there's no way back,
[ch]Bm/G[/ch]
With the cider and blacks and the panic attacks

CHORUS:
A/C
You and me are calling the shots
Em
Connecting souls like dot to dots
A/C
The stars in the sky like teenage spots
Em             G       Bm
That shine but pine for love

VERSE 2:
Bm
My mind keeps wagin' war
     D         D/C#  Bm
I've been here many times before
Bm
There's a lump in the throat when the boat still floats
        D         D/C#   Bm
But the captain's not too sure
        D         D/C#   Bm
No, the captain's never too sure

PRE-CHORUS 2:
G
There's no footprints in the sand,
[ch]Bm/G[/ch]
Where my ocean meets your land
G
Through the seven seas, through the fields and trees,
[ch]Bm/G[/ch]
On the bleeding knees, with the OCDs

CHORUS:
A/C
You and me are calling the shots
Em
Connecting souls like dot to dots
A/C
The stars in the sky like teenage spots
Em             G       Bm
That shine but pine for love
Em             G       Bm
That shine but pine for love
