G
After the forest fire
Among the black trees
Bm
Among the carcasses
I found your gold key
G
And when your father called
Hid in the deadwood
Bm
And all the birds flew up
I thought they understood
[Chorus]
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
G
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
Bm
Uh oh, midnight eyes
DG
Uh oh, we played with guns.
[Verse]
G
It was the day before
The day before this
Bm
And we had party plans
And party dresses
G
Out on a crowded street
And I talked a man down
Bm
He wanted peace in death
He wore a gold crown
[Chorus]
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
G
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
Bm
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
DG
Uh oh, we played with guns.

[Chorus]
C

G

Uh oh, we played with guns
C
Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
Bm
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
DG
Uh oh, we played with guns.
UNTILTED HIDDEN TRACK
Beautiful, existential elegy following the last track on the album 'Unicorn'.
[Outro]
CDm
The pivot that we circle round
Em
Find something to hold
F
And learn to be afraid
GC
While we wait for more.
Dm
You made me never want to lie
Em
Course I have before
F
Everything polarised
GC
And now we wait for more.
Dm
Honouring our wild devotion
Em
Awash in morning warmth
F
It sleeps a distant notion
GC
And now we wait for more.
Dm
I'm clearing out my flat today
Em
And taking off the doors
F
No history, no gates,
GC
We wait for more.
Dm
Baby we could go away
Em
Between the night and dawn
F
Your life ahead in frames
GC
We wait for more.
Dm
All the traits we dislike
Em
We count them as our own
F
Sick of being unkind
GC
And now we wait for more.
Dm
Everything you'll ever dream
Em
Someone dreamed before
F
Won't you chase them, please
GC
We wait for more.
