The Church is an alternative rock band which formed in Sydney, Australia in 1980. Initially linked in with neo-psychedelia acts of the period, their music later became largely defined by the interplay of guitarists Marty Willson-Piper and Peter Koppes coupled with the abstract lyrics of bassist/singer Steve Kilbey. Their debut album, Of Skins and Heart (1981), earned them their first radio hit "The Unguarded Moment". They were originally signed to EMI's Parlophone label

D(F#F#F#EF#F#EF# | F#F#GF#GF#EF#) (notes added to D chord) People say to see is to believe Then they just believe in that they can perceive What they see is not the total view Filtered between the me and you
GF#mG But I'm trying so hard, just to tell you I care
F#mEmC And I've wanted so long, to tear it all away, tear it all away
D(F#F#F#EF#F#EF# | F#F#GF#GF#EF#) (notes added to D chord) People say well you just had to be there And all the time you know they've never been there And it makes me sad to sit and think All those empty souls are nearly at the brink
GF#mG But I'm trying so hard, just to open my eyes
F#mEmC To seeing some things, that tear it all away, tear it all away
D(F#F#F#EF#F#EF# | F#F#GF#GF#EF#) (notes added to D chord) People grow up and learn to drive some car But I did that and it doesn't get you far The things you want are never to be found And in the end it's all some running round
GF#mG But I'm trying so hard, just to keep to myself
F#mEmC The things that I hope, will tear it all away, tear it all away

D(F#F#F#EF#F#EF# | F#F#GF#GF#EF#) (notes added to D chord) People say they think that they are sure But then they turn away and don't go back no more What they saw was not the perfect sight Just their own face reflected in the night
GF#mG But I'm trying so hard, just to tell you it's now
F#mEmC And I'm gonna keep on trying, to tear it all away, tear it all away
