Biography:
Aztec Camera was a Scottish Indie pop/New Wave band from Glasgow.
The line-up of the band changed several times over the years, but the constant member had been guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Roddy Frame. Founding members included Campbell Owens (bass) and Dave Mulholland (drums). Ex-Bluebells bassist Craig Gannon was a member from 1983 through 1985, before joining The Smiths. Guitarist Malcolm Ross (formerly of Josef K and Orange Juice) also joined in 1983, and appeared on the Knife album.

[Verse 1]
D6 Bm
You said you're free, for me that says it all
D6 Bm Dm Gm Dm Gm
You're free to push me and I'm free to fall
D6 Bm
So if we weaken we can call it stress
D6 Bm Dm Gm Dm Gm
You've got my trust, I've got your home address
Dm Gm Dm Gm
And now the only chance that we could take
G7 Dm9 Dm
Is the chance that someone else won't make it all come true
[Pre Chorus]
D
We're making tracks that show our touch and go
Bm
And now it's touch and come, and you should know
D
But then four years won't mean that much to me
Bm A A#dim
When I've been smothered in the sympathy you bleed
[Chorus]
Bb Ebmaj7
Just close your eyes again
Bb Ebmaj7
Until these things get better
Bb Ebmaj7
You're never far away
Bb Ebmaj7
But we could send letters
[Verse 2]
D6 Bm
While you were gone I reached another town
D6 Bm Dm Gm Dm Gm
They couldn't help me, but they showed me round
D6 Bm
And now I've seen what you can't understand
D6 Bm Dm Gm Dm Gm
I'd try to lead you but I'd crush your hand
Dm Gm Dm Gm
Because the people in the village know
G7 Dm9 Dm
It doesn't matter where you choose to go the end's the same
[Pre Chorus]
D
I found some blood I wasn't meant to find
Bm
I found some feelings that we'd left behind
D
But then some blood won't mean that much to me
Bm
When I've been smothered in the sympathy you bleed
[Chorus]
Bb Ebmaj7
Just close your eyes again
Bb Ebmaj7
Until these things get better
Bb Ebmaj7
You're never far away
