Church Of England Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][A][Em]
[Bm][D][A]
[Em]In the grip of a winter

[Verse 1]
[Em]
came love and greed
[D]Insane with faith,
I took the driv[A]ing front seat
[Em]In the lowlight comfort of Ber
[Bm]lin street[B]s[Em]
[D]The calm from emptiness
[A]duetted with my body heat

[Verse 2]
[Em]And I was alone at
the front[A]line
[Em]The message I was taught
Was a tri[A]umph and the joy
of a lifetime
[D][Em]

[Verse 3]
I just can't think of [B]England
Can't see [Bsus4]the pictu[B]re
[D]I'm still running from the fir[A]e, the[Em] fire
I just can't think of [B]England
Can't see the [D]picture
I'm still running from the fire,
[A]the fire

[Interlude 1]
The fire
[Em][D][A]
[Em]

[Verse 4]
In the twilight [Em]hours of [Bm]nervous [B]rest[D]
I bought the peace before
[A]believing the threats
[E]In a foreign [Em]field,
I [E]cut [B]all [Bm]regret[B]s[C#]
[D]But the poison stories just repeat
[A]themselves in a fucked up mess
[Em]I was alone

[Verse 5]
for the first
[A]time
[Em]The message I was taught
Was [A]a triumph and the joy of a lifetime

[Verse 6]
[Em]
I just can't think of England
[B][Bsus4]
Can't [B]see the picture
[D]I'm still running from the[A] fire, the fire
[E]I j[Em]ust can't think of E[B]ngland
Can't see the pic[C#]ture[D]
I'm still running from the fire,
[A]the fire

[Outro 1]
The fire
[Em][E][Em][B][Bm][D][A][Am]
[A][E][Em][E][B][Bm][D][Am]
[A][E]
