ye lowlives
laughing too much
never close your eyes
til the sun's coming up
Abm E B
underslept, overdreamt

B
my whole life
trying to speak
but silent
with so much beneath it
Abm E
that thick wind under the surface
F# Ebm
you don't know me, or my purpose
E F# B
or my promise, i got promise
B
B
your hands and feet
for all of their grief
turned out to be
Abm
only your elbows and knees
E B
you go farther, you're just starting to see
B
and you see that red pen
hover in judgement
and that census
Abm
get those numbers away from us
E F#
cause honest, we got nothing
Ebm E
in our pockets but thin wrists
F# B
and promise, we got promise

B Abm
i'm waking up
B Abm
pull me from my sheets in the dark

as if in a dream, lifting off

let me feel it shift in my blood

let me feel like i'm rising up

out of all the ashes and dust

out of all the past - that's done

Bb Cm
when you come to
Gm F
you're kinda floating
Bb Cm
the air is full
Gm F
it's like it's holding you
Bb Cm
isn't it typical?
Gm F
nobody's noticing
Bb Cm
all that they're moving in
Gm F
all that they're breathing
Bb Cm
isn't it beautiful?
Gm F
here in the thick of it?
Bb Cm
to know that when you fall
Gm F
you're just afraid to swim?
Bb Cm
here it is...
Cm (Gm) F (Bb)
Bb Cm
see the arches of paint
Gm F
see the ocean of dust
Bb Cm
see all the colours arranged
Gm F
and hover over us
Bb Cm
like when we were little kids
Gm F
lifted into our beds
Bb Cm
didn't we see it then?
Gm F
before we turned our heads?
Eb
here it is
F
it's invisible
Gm
there are no words for it
Bb Am Dm
i know you feel it though
Eb F
you feel it lifting up, you feel the weights come off
Gm Bb Am Dm
and every cell of blood, they suddenly move as one
Eb F
we were denied so much, all their religion
Gm Bb Am Dm
all for a science that i never understood
Eb F
they took away my trust, maybe i gave it up
Gm Bb Am Dm
just an adolescent shrug, posture as i drop the gloves
Eb F
yeah but that was years ago. i missed so many miracles
Gm Bb Am Dm
living with my eyelids shut, but now i swear that they're opened up
Bb Cm Gm F
now i swear that they're opened up!

NEON BEYOND
E A
baby in the basket
E A
i saw you reaching out your hand
E A
you were grasping at the wind
E A
i knew exactly what you meant
E A
i was sitting on the last train it was dragging
E A
me home to all of that mess
E A
and pulled over the tracks
E A
sitting still felt more like falling back
E B A
and out come the hands
E B A
out comes the rug from underneath
E B A
and everything seems so real
E B A
til you're waking up here at the wheel
C#m A B
after all you've given up
C#m A B
every crumb they took from your tongue
C#m A B
after all your bitter luck
C#m A E B A
you're done. you're saying 'enough is enough'
E A
E A
i know it's a hard world
E A
we're given to cling to the easier path
E A
but this is a wrong turn
E A
feeling that fear is the only way past
E A
so do not be hemmed in
E A
do not by dollar, nor doctrine, nor snow, no
E A
don't think of small things
E A
turn your eye to the neon beyond
C#m A B
after all you've given up
C#m A B
every crumb they took from your tongue
C#m A B
after all your bitter luck
C#m A E B A
all your silently swallowing's done
C#m A B
after all you've given up
a C#m A B
ll your drowned and your runaway sons
C#m A B
now you ought to be speaking up
C#m A E B A
saying 'enough is enough' but is 'enough is enough’ enough?
C#m
find the sapling
Abm
sand it smooth
C#m
sharpen the stone edge
Abm
Feather the grooves
A E B A
make it sure, make it true. before you let it loose
C#m
feel the moment
Abm
see the moves
C#m
calm and focused
Abm
as you notch the wood
A E B A
you put everything in. then you let go of it
A E B A
all that you did, just let go of it
A E B A
yeah that's how it is, you let go of it
A E B A
we were looking back
A E B A
we were looking down
A E B A
but we're looking up
A E B A
we're looking out now!
A E B A
look at us! looking up!

and that first kiss coming, lets just freeze the frame

your blue eyes closing as mine were opening
D A Bm
on into the gold river
D A Bm
oh but i was alone come winter

raised on pixels - in they come, in they come, in they pour like poison
D C#m
all their lies and fantasy
D
but i want your faults aley, i want the real thing!
D A Bm
on into the gold river

painted gold, coming on home

and bring that summer sun
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
ALCATRAZ
C
C G
i stood helpless to the threat
Em F C
of a heavy lid i'll never lift
C G
and when the gavel hit the desk
Em
metal shut around me
F C
marshals at my wrist
C G
led me down the longest hall
Em
down the darkest throat
F C
of the hardest animal
C G
and just listen to the wind
Em
wailing like the wounded
F C
over the lincoln highway bridge
C G
down in the valley or in the street
Em
don’t let the ad men fool you
F C
you got everything you need
C G
out in your sheets beside your love
Em
recognize the instant
F C
memorize the pose
Am C G F Em D
Am C G F Em D
Am C G F Em D
Am C
C
despite all the hatred i held for you
C
despite all the violence i could do
G Em F C
just beyond, there is love
C
and when i'm alone with only my thoughts
C
and as you might know, i'm alone a lot
G Em F C
it's the love i'm thinking of
C G
out in that city like a dream
Em
see the breezes go around you
F C
see the long grasses yield
C G
be out there exiting the bars
Em
at the finest hour of morning
F C
nearly lost, but not
C G
be warm and steady in the wind
Em
and your soft, imperfect body
F C
do not cover it
C
HARRIET
G Am Em
C
G Am Em
through the hem of evening
G Am Em
into the flesh of the night
G Am Em
you step out to receive them
C
in the bruising light
G Am Em
you leave your bed of novels
G Am Em
you leave your hovering crown
G Am Em
you leave your wit and your mettle
C
and you come down
D
C Em D
but it's only a minute then
C Em D
til the hole in the canvas spreads
C Em G Am Em
and it grows til there's nothing left
G Am Em
C
G Am Em
so if you even remember
G Am Em
me after all that will come
G Am Em
think of all i intended
C
not what i've done
G Am Em
see me like an arrow
G Am Em
still upon the bow
G Am Em
set to the heart of the target
C
hanging bright above
D
C Em D
but it's only a minute then
C Em D
til the shot is released and sent
C Em G Am Em
and lost to the shifting wind
G Am D
(key change!)
D G Bm A
oh they don't know you, not like i do, not like us, harriet
D G Bm A
but they would love you, just like i do, if they could, harriet
D G Bm A
cause what you are, and what you want, are so far apart, and they're travelling on
D G Bm A
oh what you are is staggering drunk, but i'll pick you up and i'll carry you off
(key change!)
E A C#m B
oh they don't know you, not like i know you, not like us, harriet
E A C#m B
but they would love you, just like i love you, if they could, harriet

ye lowlives
laughing too much
never close your eyes
til the sun's coming up
Abm E B
underslept, overdreamt
B
B
my whole life
trying to speak
but silent
with so much beneath it
Abm E
that thick wind under the surface
F# Ebm
you don't know me, or my purpose
E F# B
or my promise, i got promise
B
B
your hands and feet
for all of their grief
turned out to be
Abm
only your elbows and knees
E B
you go farther, you're just starting to see
B
and you see that red pen
hover in judgement
and that census
Abm
get those numbers away from us
E F#
cause honest, we got nothing
Ebm E
in our pockets but thin wrists
F# B
and promise, we got promise
B
B Abm
i'm waking up
B Abm

B Abm
as if in a dream, lifting off
B Abm
let me feel it shift in my blood
B Abm
let me feel like i'm rising up
B Abm
out of all the ashes and dust
B Abm
out of all the past - that's done
B Abm
i don't need what's long dead and gone, man,

KID GLOVES
Cm (Gm) F (Bb)
Bb Cm
when you come to
Gm F
you're kinda floating
Bb Cm
the air is full
Gm F
it's like it's holding you
Bb Cm
isn't it typical?
Gm F
nobody's noticing
Bb Cm
all that they're moving in
Gm F
all that they're breathing
Bb Cm
isn't it beautiful?
Gm F
here in the thick of it?
Bb Cm
to know that when you fall
Gm F
you're just afraid to swim?
Bb Cm
here it is...
Cm (Gm) F (Bb)
Bb Cm
see the arches of paint
Gm F
see the ocean of dust
Bb Cm
see all the colours arranged
Gm F
and hover over us
Bb Cm
like when we were little kids
Gm F
lifted into our beds
Bb Cm
didn't we see it then?
Gm F
before we turned our heads?
Eb
here it is
F
it's invisible
Gm
there are no words for it
Bb Am Dm
i know you feel it though
Eb F
you feel it lifting up, you feel the weights come off
Gm Bb Am Dm
and every cell of blood, they suddenly move as one
Eb F
we were denied so much, all their religion
Gm Bb Am Dm
all for a science that i never understood
Eb F
they took away my trust, maybe i gave it up
Gm Bb Am Dm
just an adolescent shrug, posture as i drop the gloves
Eb F
yeah but that was years ago. i missed so many miracles
Gm Bb Am Dm
living with my eyelids shut, but now i swear that they're opened up
Bb Cm Gm F
now i swear that they're opened up!

NEON BEYOND
E A
baby in the basket
E A
i saw you reaching out your hand
E A
you were grasping at the wind
E A
i knew exactly what you meant
E A
i was sitting on the last train it was dragging
E A
me home to all of that mess
E A
and pulled over the tracks
E A
sitting still felt more like falling back
E B A
and out come the hands
E B A
out comes the rug from underneath
E B A
and everything seems so real
E B A
til you're waking up here at the wheel
C#m A B
after all you've given up
C#m A B
every crumb they took from your tongue
C#m A B
after all your bitter luck
C#m A E B A
you're done. you're saying 'enough is enough'
E A
E A
i know it's a hard world
E A
we're given to cling to the easier path
E A
but this is a wrong turn
E A
feeling that fear is the only way past
E A
so do not be hemmed in
E A
do not by dollar, nor doctrine, nor snow, no
E A
don't think of small things
E A
turn your eye to the neon beyond
C#m A B
after all you've given up
C#m A B
every crumb they took from your tongue
C#m A B
after all your bitter luck
C#m A E B A
all your silently swallowing's done
C#m A B
after all you've given up
a C#m A B
ll your drowned and your runaway sons
C#m A B
now you ought to be speaking up
C#m A E B A
saying 'enough is enough' but is 'enough is enough’ enough?
C#m
find the sapling
Abm
sand it smooth
C#m
sharpen the stone edge
Abm
Feather the grooves
A E B A
make it sure, make it true. before you let it loose
C#m
feel the moment
Abm
see the moves
C#m
calm and focused
Abm
as you notch the wood
A E B A
you put everything in. then you let go of it
A E B A
all that you did, just let go of it
A E B A
yeah that's how it is, you let go of it
A E B A
we were looking back
A E B A
we were looking down
A E B A
but we're looking up
A E B A
we're looking out now!
A E B A
look at us! looking up!

all their lies and fantasy

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
ALCATRAZ
C
C G
i stood helpless to the threat
Em F C
of a heavy lid i'll never lift
C G
and when the gavel hit the desk
Em
metal shut around me
F C
marshals at my wrist
C G
led me down the longest hall
Em
down the darkest throat
F C
of the hardest animal
C G
and just listen to the wind
Em
wailing like the wounded
F C
over the lincoln highway bridge
C G
down in the valley or in the street
Em
don’t let the ad men fool you
F C
you got everything you need
C G
out in your sheets beside your love
Em
recognize the instant
F C
memorize the pose
Am C G F Em D
Am C G F Em D
Am C G F Em D
Am C
C
despite all the hatred i held for you
C
despite all the violence i could do
G Em F C
just beyond, there is love
C
and when i'm alone with only my thoughts
C
and as you might know, i'm alone a lot
G Em F C
it's the love i'm thinking of
C G
out in that city like a dream
Em
see the breezes go around you
F C
see the long grasses yield
C G
be out there exiting the bars
Em
at the finest hour of morning
F C
nearly lost, but not
C G
be warm and steady in the wind
Em
and your soft, imperfect body
F C
do not cover it
C
HARRIET
G Am Em
C
G Am Em
through the hem of evening
G Am Em
into the flesh of the night
G Am Em
you step out to receive them
C
in the bruising light
G Am Em
you leave your bed of novels
G Am Em
you leave your hovering crown
G Am Em
you leave your wit and your mettle
C
and you come down
D
C Em D
but it's only a minute then
C Em D
til the hole in the canvas spreads
C Em G Am Em
and it grows til there's nothing left
G Am Em
C
G Am Em
so if you even remember
G Am Em
me after all that will come
G Am Em
think of all i intended
C
not what i've done
G Am Em
see me like an arrow
G Am Em
still upon the bow
G Am Em
set to the heart of the target
C
hanging bright above
D
C Em D
but it's only a minute then
C Em D
til the shot is released and sent
C Em G Am Em
and lost to the shifting wind
G Am D
(key change!)
D G Bm A
oh they don't know you, not like i do, not like us, harriet
D G Bm A
but they would love you, just like i do, if they could, harriet
D G Bm A
cause what you are, and what you want, are so far apart, and they're travelling on
D G Bm A
oh what you are is staggering drunk, but i'll pick you up and i'll carry you off
(key change!)
E A C#m B
oh they don't know you, not like i know you, not like us, harriet
E A C#m B
but they would love you, just like i love you, if they could, harriet
E A C#m B
