FmFm/D#Fm/C#Fm
Deep deep down under mountains I have heard them call my name
Em
Will I play their little game and tell them
FmFm/D#Fm/C#Fm
Deep deep down I've been waiting for the fighting to begin
C7/A#
Hold my hands on
FmFm/D#Fm/C#Fm
Deep sleep now, under skies of pressing dark upon my dress
EmFm
Watch it turn from white to red under the bone clean moon
Fm/D#Fm/C#Fm
I am clinging to this burning shaking bed
C7/A#
Must I hold my hands up
C7/A# ( Bb down octave)
My bloody hands up
Chorus (STRUM!):
Fm Eb94 A#FmCC#6Fm Eb94 A#
Mercy, mercy, I've been caught
FmEm
Lying with my darkest thought
A#mD#GFmCC#6
They grab my wings and pin me to the wall
Fm Eb94 A#
Oh light please try to hold your ground
FmEm
Lift me up before I drown
A#mD#
The din creeps 'neath my skin
GFm
And I can't hear no Goodness speak

Fm
From the neighbouring town
Fm/D#Fm/C#Fm
There's a boy who comes to sing upon our street
EmFm
I watch him from the window thinking deep deep down
Fm/D#Fm/C#Fm
He'd be richer if he just became a thief
C7/A#
Instead he holds his hands out
FmFm/D#
I walk down to the river
Fm/C#Fm
Stand and shiver in the wind
EmFm
Throw stones to watch them sinking to the icy blue
Fm/D#Fm/C#Fm
Let it rise above my ankles
C7/A#
I don't want this darkness
C7/A# ( Bb down octave) FmCC#6
But the sun just falls from the sky
Chorus (SSSSTRUM!)
Chorus (PALM MUTE, STRRRRUM!)
