CATHEDRAL BELLS
G Am
G Am
G
and that's when the shadow came
Am
and darkened your china face
G
the dancers still shook and swayed
Am
but i couldn't look away
G
they were all in their chemicals
Am
a hundred cars up an icy hill
G
and we were stood under them
Am
grim and quietly grimacing
Bm
and you spoke with that voice i love
Am
and love awoke in my boiling blood
Bm
where death sat a sec before
Am
the road is lit and i'm going home
Bm
there'll be no caving in
Am
no suicide note, no pills and gin
Bm
i'll hear your voice again
C
and it stirs me like a pealing bell
Bm
echoed by everything, everywhere
C
by every fraught fibre, and every cell
hear em telling you:
G
you're not the only one
Cm
you're not the only one
G
you're not the only one
Cm
you're not the only one
Am
feeling this stuff
G Am
you're one of us
G Am
G Am
G
and that's when the shadow lifts
Am
and the camera reveals her lips
G
and all the lava under your skin
Am
you gotta always remember it
Bm
and try not to talk at all
Am
and say all of that common stuff
Bm
no just let the lava come
Am
and all the love you've been holding off
Bm
yeah that's when we're rising up
C
feel the elevator pull your guts
D
each floor is like the medicine drops
Em C
the only fear is the fear it'll stop
G
but it won't because
Cm
but it won't because
G
but it won't because
Cm
no it never stops
Em
no it never stops
Cm
but it won't because
Am
cause it's in your blood
G
you're one of us
G Am
G
yeah that's when we're rising up
Am
out of the ashes and plastic cups
G
arm in arm on a dirty rug
Am
where they're all dancing to jungle love
G
i don't care if a shadow comes
Am
and covers us like a shovel of rocks
G
the party's still going on
Am
and i heard cathedral bells
