best. Hope you enjoy!

// By the way, here's the video I mainly used: http://vimeo.com/42965043
// (my favourite performace of the song - Keep Me On The starts at about 2:52)
VERSE 1:
Bm
Give me something to hold
D D/C# Bm
That lasts until I'm old
Bm
That won't get changed or rearranged
D D/C# Bm
When it all gets bought and sold
D D/C# Bm
When it all gets bought and sold
Bm
Keep me on the run
D D/C# Bm
Alive and forever young
Bm
As the leaves die under the Autumn sun
D D/C# Bm
And the final day has come
D D/C# Bm
And the web's been finally spun
PRE-CHORUS 1:
G
Meet me in my hidden place,
Bm/G
Where I hide my disillusioned face
G
Off the beaten track where there's no way back,
Bm/G
With the cider and blacks and the panic attacks
CHORUS:
A/C
You and me are calling the shots
Em
Connecting souls like dot to dots
A/C
The stars in the sky like teenage spots
Em G Bm
That shine but pine for love
VERSE 2:
Bm
My mind keeps wagin' war
D D/C# Bm
I've been here many times before
Bm
There's a lump in the throat when the boat still floats
D D/C# Bm
But the captain's not too sure
D D/C# Bm
No, the captain's never too sure
PRE-CHORUS 2:
G
There's no footprints in the sand,
Bm/G
Where my ocean meets your land
G
Through the seven seas, through the fields and trees,
Bm/G
On the bleeding knees, with the OCDs
CHORUS:
A/C
You and me are calling the shots
Em
Connecting souls like dot to dots
A/C
The stars in the sky like teenage spots
Em G Bm
That shine but pine for love
Em G Bm
That shine but pine for love
