Verse 1:
D              (A)        A
  Sixteenth of June, nine-o-five, door bell
Bm                               Bm
rings, man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit
D       (A)               A
longer,     there's three things I need you to
Bm    Bm
know  -  three.
D               (A)          A
  Coming from a long line of travelling sales people
Bm                                  Bm
on my mother's side, I wasn't gonna buy just anyone's
     D    (A)                A
cockatoo.     So why would I invite a complete
Bm                     Bm
stranger into my home?    Would you?

Bridge:
  D   (A)  A     Bm          Bm
These days   are better than that.
  D   (A)  A     Bm          Bm
These days   are better than that.

Prechorus 1:
G    D/F#   E      E7
  Every day I die again, and again I'm
   G       D/F#   E         E7
reborn. Every day I have to find the courage

Chorus 1:
   Bm   G   D        E
to walk out into the street
     Bm   G          D                E
with arms out. Got a love you can't defeat.
        Bm       G            D           E
Neither down nor out, there's nothing you have that I
D  (A) A       Bm       Bm
need,    I can breathe.
D  (A) A       Bm       Bm
Bre     -      the      now.

Verse 2:
D              (A)     A
  Sixteenth of June, Chinese stocks are going
Bm                               Bm
up and I'm coming down with some new Asian virus.
D  (A)          A
      Juju man, juju man, Doc
Bm                  Bm 
says you're fine or dying, please!
D        (A)      A
  Nine-o-nine, St John Divine, on the
Bm                      Bm
line, my pulse is fine.    But I'm running down the
D         (A)         A
road like loose electricity while the
Bm                      Bm
band in my head plays a striptease.

Prechorus 2:
G     D/F#      E           E7
  The roar that lies on the other side of
   G         D/F#   E            E7
silence. The forest fire that is fierce so deny it.

Chorus 2:
Bm   G   D        E
Walk out into the street.
          Bm    G        D         E
Sing your heart out. The people we meet 
            Bm      G            D           E
will not be drowned out. There's nothing you have that I
D  (A) A       Bm       Bm
need,    I can breathe.
D  (A) A       Bm       Bm
Brea     -     the      now.

Prechorus 3:
G           D/F#         E          E7
  We are people borne of sound, the songs are in our
G           D/F#             E      E7
eyes. Gonna wear them like a crown, oh.

Chorus 3:
Bm      G    D          E
   Walk out,   into the sunburst street.
Bm           G          D         E
   Sing your heart out,   sing my heart out.
Bm                 G             D                         E
I've found grace inside a sound, I've found grace and it's all I've found.
D  (A) A           Bm       Bm
         And I can breathe.
D  (A) A           Bm       Bm
Brea       -       the      now.
