chord/acoustic version of Out of our Hands by Gemma Hayes
by Collwyn Craig
Csus4: x3301x
[INTRO]
[BRIDGE]
C Csus4 C Csus4
[VERSE]
C Csus4
The subtle shift inside,
C
a battle's won,
Csus4
the inside killed the outside
F Dm
and Im sorry, if I let you think,
Am
better of me
G
but you were holding on too tight
[CHORUS]
F G
Maybe we'll fall,
Am C
maybe we'll fly
F
it's out of our hands,
G C
its out of our hands this time
[BRIDGE]
C
The night's collapsing on us now,
Csus4
you'll feel better when you go
C
you didnt push me, little one,
Csus4
I jumped on my own and
F
Im glad,
Dm
as I release my grip
Am
Im picking up speed
G
no-one will follow us here
[CHORUS] x2
[BRIDGE]
Meet me at the back of the crowd
this could be our time to slip away
you say the bigger you dream
the smaller your street looks in the rain
Ah come on now,
but you and I know now
it's so much more now
than just being bored
[CHORUS] x2
notes:
it sounds like the first chorus, and the 2nd of each pair of choruses
are actually only 5 bars of 4/4 and one bar of 2/4
(so that the final G is only two beats)
the first verse seems to be:
3 bars of 4/4, one bar of 2/4 (the F is short)
then 4 bars of 4/4
you can play Csus4 as a straight up F chord if you want,
I found that Csus4 allows for a better sounding transition to F mid-verse
