[Em]I

[Verse 1]
got back to
Bel[C]fast, [Em]checked
the street on my plan
[C]I s[Em]aw a band -aid covering the cance[C]r,
I [Em]saw a mother carrying the can
[C]I saw ele[Am]ven lords a -leaping
over the [F]house of lost time
I saw [Em]twelve cabinet ministers
rehearsing a mime
[C]And a [Am]hun dred hungry
children [F]rose up and cried
If
[Em]God and the government ignore us,
[C]thi[Em]ngs start to unwind
[C][Em][C][Em][C][Em][C][Em]
[C]I s[Em]topped
off in a [C]bar where [Em]the in -crowd hangout
[C]It [Em]was littered with
remembered embraces
[C]There [Em]was a sign on the jukebox
said plain case of drought
And the
[Am]Mona
Lisa shook her
arms in the air and she [F]died
[Em]The fragile intellectu[C]al
[Em]He looked at his girl and sm[C]iled, he sent [Am]his words to her like letters,
she got them [F]before he arrived.
I [Em]gave them a card which [C]said on one side,
[Em]things start to unwi[F]nd.
[Em]All the calls were on your place,
[C]the moo[Em]n was deciding whether to rise.
Yeah, I said, you've got the [G]wrong [Em]point
But I was thinking of always in the [G]sight
[Em]With your [Am]snakeskin affairs
and your precious antiques
I [F]knew I'd been there before
Well, a [Em]wolf was upstairs drinking
[C]A s[Em]heep crawled past your door
[C]An offi[Am]cial smelling envelope
blew in with the rain
And it [F]tangled up my mind
A [Em]silent scream, I love [C]you
[Em]As things started to unw[C]ind
As [Em]sirens screamed I love you
[C]Our[Em] memories plundered on the rock[C]s
We were [Em]one step ahead of the police
They were lining up everything that talked
We [Am]had to stick together
To search for the [F]ring
Well you car[Em]ried a novel, a revolver
And an empty picture frame
[C]There [Em]was a dry [Am]wind
blowing across the land
As you [F]turned up your collar and sighed
As we [Em]drove into the night
[C]Things [Em]were starting to un
[C]wind[Em]
[C][Em][C][Em]
There were three generations of clowning
[C]On a [Em]three -piece suite in the hall
[C]And a [Em]three -piece suit on a hoarding
And a picture of a parrot on the [C]wall
Well, [Em]like a [Am]hook line without a sinker,
bad [F]men are lost for words
Well, like a [Em]hook line without a singer,
[C]it all[Em] seems so absu[C]rd
[Em]He's[Am] the plague of the time,
[F]when mad men lead the blind
[Em]Hope is under[C]mined when [Em]things start
to un[C]wind[Em][C][Em][C]
[Em]
There was unease in the air[C],
[Em]an d nothing on
TV
[C]The une[Em]ase, an explosive for tomor[C]row,
[Em]cash in your secur[C]ity
Like [Em]a mem[Am]ory unlocked from a
love letter [F]you once sent to me
I [Em]let the light af[C]fix its beam
[Em]Take away this fall[C]ing dream
In [Em]this [Am]green and pleasant land
[F]Where the blind [F]lead the blind
[Em]Drop me a letter, [C]draw me a line
[Em]Strike that light, get on the road
Where things start to un[C]wind[Bm][Em]
