Keys = Bbm - Fm - Ebm - Bbm 
 
 
 
Riff 1 
So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace 
And you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face 
So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away 
 
Bbm                 Fm 
You had to win, you couldn't just pass 
             Ebm                   Bbm 
The smartest ass at the top of the class 
Bbm                       Fm 
Your flying colours, your family tree 
    Ebm                 Bbm 
And all your lessons in history 
 
Riff 2 
Please 
Please 
Please  
 
get up off your knees now 
 
Please, please, please, leave me out of this 
 
 
Riff 1 
And you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call 
And you never knew what was on the ground  
Till they made you crawl 
So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole 
Bbm                       Fm 
Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes 
     Ebm                   Bbm 
Your stick-on tattoos, now they're making news 
Bbm                 Fm 
Your holy war, your northern star 
     Ebm                          Bbm 
Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car 
 
 
Riff 2 
Please, please, please get up off your knees 
Please, please, please leave me out of this please 
 
 
 
So love is hard, and love is tough 
But love is not what you're thinking of 
 
Riff 3 
September, streets capsizing,  
Spilling over down the drain 
Shards of glass splinters like rain  
But you could only feel your pain 
October, talking getting nowhere 
November, December, remember 
Are we just starting again? 
 
 
Please, please, please get up off of your knees 
Please, please, please, please 
 
Riff 4 
So love is bigger than us 
But love is not what you're thinking of 
 
Solo 
 
Riff 4 
It's what lovers deal, it's what lovers steal 
You know I've found it hard to receive 
 
-silence-  
 
Cause you, my love, I could never believe
