Intro: Dm Eb 

    Dm    Eb           Dm   Gm 
the long knife of the sun rising  
F           Bb           F      Bb     Eb 
up the horizon and into our tired eyes  

    Dm    Eb           Dm   Gm 
the spell of night is struck down  
F           Bb           F      Bb     Eb 
our second sight is bleeding out  

F                 Bb           Eb

i‘m not gonna wanna be alone  
F                 Bb           Eb 
beaten up when the sunlight comes  
F                 Bb           Eb 
bullied and cut by the clock on the wall 

Bb                           F       Gm      
take the morning and the chlorinous light 
Bb                           F       Gm      
you can have the afternoon. bury the evening too  
Bb                           F       Gm      
give me gathering calm of the night 
Dm       Eb             Dm          Eb 
when the day is done and the rest is coming on  

Bb                           F       Gm      
under the pitch and the pull of the moon  
Bb                           F       Gm      
sweet silver medicine swim in my temples and  
Bb                           F       Gm      
bring in the shadows to cover our flaws

out in the streets when everyone else is asleep  

 Dm    Eb           Dm   Gm 
see the way the body sways  
F           Bb              F            Bb     
in empty air when there's nobody there 
             F    Bb    Eb  
and you don‘t even care if there is  

F                 Bb           Eb 
anna can i be to you like that?  
F                 Bb           Eb 
cover your shame with a shield of black  
F                 Bb           Eb 
cover your body with my trembling hands  
F                 Bb           Eb 
have you dancing while i hold them back 

Bb                           F       Gm      
hold back the morning and her chlorinous light  
Bb                           F       Gm      
have at the afternoon. bury the evening too

DREAM  

A D 

A                      D 
come now through all of it, downtown and tenement  
A                      D 
through dark clouds. all circling our house, like a tourniquet  
A                      D 
the front door splinters in, you come down the hall, unfaltering  
A                      D 
your lips licked and shimmering, leaning in and i'm vanishing  

A   B      F#m 
i close my eyes  
A   B      F#m 
and you arrive  

D 
but oh it's just a dream, it's just a dream  
D 
but it's just a dream until you see it happening  

A D 

A  
in the plaza after work  
D 
i saw you rise up out of your collared shirts  
A 
on the horizon there was another world  
D 
we left the phantom hand and we ran for her  

A   B      F#m 
i close my eyes  
A   B      F#m 
and we're aligned  
A   B      F#m 
and that's a blinding light  

D               
but oh it’s just a dream,  
it's just a dream, 
it's just a dream,  
               A    Bm     D 
but it's just a dream until you see it happening  
D 
and then it changes everything

A                                                  Bm

F#m                                        E        
just like we wanted, just like we need it?  
D 
why can't we, just like a dream?  

A                                                  Bm    
who says we can't. who says we can't. who says we shouldn't?  
F#m                                        E

Abm        E     
that thick wind under the surface

only your elbows and knees  
                E                         B 
you go farther, you're just starting to see

get those numbers away from us  
          E             F# 
cause honest, we got nothing

pull me from my sheets in the dark  
                      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

        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!

        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

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

                                  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

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                  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

still upon the bow

set to the heart of the target

hanging bright above

but it's only a minute then  
        C         Em     D 
til the shot is released and sent
