[Intro 1]
[G][D]
[G][D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 1]
Hold on, hold [D]on
Let me get the words out before
[G]I b[D]urst[Dsus4][D]
There's no truth at all
Poking at the giant [Dm]eyes of an
[G]cient God[D]s
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 2]
Cool heads have [Dsus4]failed
[D]Now it's time for me to have
[G]my turn[D][G][D]
[Dsus4]Kiss me, [G]kiss [D]me[Dsus4]
Life is way too [D]short to scream
[Dsus4]and shout[D]
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
Flashed up in my [G]wild[Dm]est dreams
the dark red blood streams
[Gm]Stretching out l[F]ike vast
cracked [Dm]ice
The veins of you, the [G]veins of me
like great [Gm]forest trees
Pushing through [Dm]and on and i[F]n[Dm]

[Verse 4]
Gliding like [G]a satel[Dm]lite in
[G]the [Gm]broken night
And when I wake [F]you're there,
I'm [Dm]saved[F][Gm][Dm]
Your love is life piled [G]tight and high,
set against [Gm]the sky
That seems to bal[Dm]ance on [F]it's [Gsus4]own
[Dm][D][Dm][G][D][Dm]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Dsus4]Sing out,[D] sing out[G]
The silence only [Dm]eats us from
the [Dsus4]in side up[D][G][D]
I meant no harm
But I only get to say these word
[Dsus4]s too lat[D]e[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Wake up, w[D]ake up[G]
[D]Sleeping only leads to more and
more [G]nightmares[D][G][D]
[G]Snap [D]out of it
[G]You sai[D]d it in a way that showed
you really [G]cared[D]
[G][D]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]
Flashed up in my [Gsus4]wild est [Dm]dreams
the dark red [Gm]blood streams
Stretching [F]out like vast
cracked [Dm]ice
The veins of you, the [G]veins of me
like great forest [Gm]trees
Pushing through [Dm]and on
[F]and in[G][Dm]

[Verse 8]
Gliding like [G]a satel[Dm]lite
in the [Gm]broken night
And when I wake [Dm]you're there,
I'm saved
Your love is life piled [G]tight and
high set against [Gm]the sky
That seems to bal[Dm]ance on it's own

[Verse 9]
[Dm]Send your [G]lifeboats out [Dm]for me
[G]Send your life[Dm]boat [Gm]out[F][Dm]
Send your [G]lifeboats out for me
[Dm]Send [G]your life[Dm]boat [Gm]out[Dm]
[G]Send

[Verse 10]
[Dm]your lifeboats out for me
Send your lifeboat out
[Dm]Send your [Dm]lifeboats out for me
Send your life[Dm]boat out
