[Verse 1]
       Em               D    Em
In the light before the dawn
      D          Em        D   Em D
Shadows shake in my peripheral
     Em                D  Em
Mesmerise me, bring it on
                 D                Em          D      Em D
Heart beats with fear here in the theatre of my soul
 
 
[Chorus]
           C               D
You see, I hope it will go on and on
      C              D
And when the curtain call is done
Em        D          Em D
Morning always comes

[Verse 2]
         Em        D          Em
It was a fine time to be born
     D                  Em               D    Em D
De-mob happy street and free milk for us all
           Em          D          Em
It was the right place to be sure
               D                 Em    D        Em D
Those dreaming spires and, yeah, oh so pastoral
 
 
[Chorus]
          C                  D
But let's hope it’s not just luck and strange
  C                D
A one-off peaceful goldеn age
         Em           D           Em D
That's a dark thought in the dark

[Bridge]
D                     D/C#                    C
 Seek what you won't find, that is a wasted lifе
                                 Em
Or so the Ancients dropped by to tell me
D              D/C#          C        Em
 They drank me dry but my oh my so far

[Verse 3]
          Em       D       Em
Quite the time to be a boy
           D               Em         D     Em D
Six-string masters of an expanding universe
         Em        D          Em
It was a high time to be sure
            D             Em            D     Em D
Soaring and free from the bounds of the Earth
 
 
[Chorus]
          C                  D
But let's hope it’s not just luck and strange
  C                D
A one-off peaceful goldеn age
         Em           D           Em D
That's a dark thought in the dark

[Bridge]
D                        D/C#
 Time for this mortal man    to love the child that holds my hand
C                                Em
 And the woman who smiles when I embrace here
D                D/C#          C
 These eyes stay dry but my oh my guitar

[Intro]
F G F G
 
 
[Verse 1]
F
 Take these binds everlasting
G
 Can't undo that voodoo that you do
F
 And the knots that we fasten
G
 Will not work themselves loose
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cm            F
  Whatever it takes
Cm                  D7
  Steer clear of the snakes
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                                            G
 The road to hell is paved with gold they'll tell you
F                                           G
 All the things that you don't need they'll sell you
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cm                F
  Your conscience uncontrolled
Cm               D7
 And beauty to behold
 
 
[Chorus]
Gm            F          Eb
  The promise of eternal youth
              Gm            F        E    F7 Ebmaj7 F7
The spoils of fame, a carpe diem attitude
 
 
[Verse 3]
F                                          G
 The flames are high, thе piper's call, contagious
F                                     G
 A fixer who will numb your pain, and strangenеss
F                                    G
 The wheels are hot, the hangover outrageous
F                                       G
 A stealer, he will trade your soul for favours
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Cm             F
  But you reap what you sow
Dm           D7
  As I found long ago
 
 
[Chorus]
    Dm      F          Eb
The promise of eternal youth
              Gm            F        Eb    F7 Ebmaj7 F7
The spoils of fame, a carpe diem attitude

C Dm G
 
 
[Verse 1]
      C
These days of wild uncertain times, I ask the empty skies
Dm                                 G
  Who will keep things rolling, who to sing Hosannas to
C
 The temple calls but I can’t see what use my prayers will be
    Dm                                G
And will this world keep rolling with only good intentions
 
 
[Verse 2]
          C
Still, it fills the eye this line of stone
 
Incense, icons, coming on strong
Dm                                  E7
  Here comes splendour, hallowed air  and is it wonder or
 
 
[Chorus]
Am
  Despair bends my knee
 
The day’s dying flame
                              D7
Motes in its beam glitter and blaze
             F                                      E7
Say isn’t it true that it’s all through in a single spark
                       Am Dm
Between two eternities
 
 
[Verse 3]
     C
I’ll watch the moon, kick off my shoes, reach for my old guitar
Dm                        E7
  Fed on milk and honeydew, what things can we undo
 
 
[Chorus]
  Am
Desire bends my knee
 
The dying embers flame
                                D7
Hungry to believe, but just the same
         F
Isn’t it true that it’s all through
            E7                           Am Dm
In a single spark between two eternities
 
 
[Verse 4]
C
Bittersweet the night’s embrace, I’m thankful and afraid
   Dm                           G
So pray to keep things rolling, I’ve only good intentions

[Intro]
G Em Bm A
 
 
[Verse 1]
               G
Broke an early promise
                 Em
Put trust in an unknown
                Bm
Fell headlong into the arms
                  A
Of the first that stirred me
                       G
Unsteadied a steady heart
                            Em
And took me to a place I've never been
                   Bm          A
A place I've never been since
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                           G
Stopped hoping at an early age
                             Em
Stopped guessing at an early age
                            Bm
Start accepting things from day one
                         A
And then things can't go too wrong
 
 
[Chorus]
                       G
Just let them walk all over you
                                  Em
Laugh through the punches and the pain
                          Bm
Let the life-blood drain away from you
                         A
Thеy're right, you're wrong
 
 
[Verse 2]
                                G
And you can see it in the way thеy look at you
                       Em
Feel it in the way they  treat you
           Bm
Always the last to know
           A
Always the first to leave
                   G
And when the sky begins to fall
                                  Em
The blame - all along in you - is yours
                         Bm
Wakes you with a fever at  five
                          A
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                                G
And you can see it in the way they look at you
                       Em
Feel it in the way they  treat you
           Bm
Always the last to know
           A
Always the first to leave
 
 
[Chorus]
                       G
Just let them walk all over you
                                  Em
Laugh through the punches and the pain
                          Bm
Let the life-blood drain away from you
                         A
Thеy're right, you're wrong

[Verse 1]
Em
  I didn't think that this could be
Em
  All that unto death do we
         Em
'Til you managed the lock and magicked the key
        Em
After a night of hard drinking and ecstasy
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     F                          Am
It's softer than words that are spoken
F                         Em
Blackened on paper that's shredded and torn
   F                        Am
Or carved into stones lying shattered and broken
Bm                   Em
  Branches beckoned along the wrong path
Bm                      E7
  Winding up in the past
 
 
[Chorus]
Em
  And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us
Em
  This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us
     F                          Am
It's softer than words that are spoken
   F                      Em
Or painted as slogans and flung to the lions
F                       Am
Written on slips as the punters wait smoking
Bm                     Em
  A leap of faith, the odds sky-high
     Bm                           E7
Said goodbye to your place or mine
 
 
[Bridge]
Fm                   Cm            Dbmaj7       Cm
  Don't like to make promises that I can't keep
Fm                   Cm                Dbmaj7   Cm
  Don't want to hurt this old heart or wreck my sleep
                  Fm
Thinking how will we part?
     Cm                  Dbmaj7              Cm
Will I hold your hand or you be left holding mine?
             B               A#m G# D#m
Between this breath and then
                        B    A#m G# D#m
There's this airlock of time
              F#m    B
This airlock of time
 
 
[Chorus]
Em
  And this dark and velvet night that surrounds us
Em
  This dark and velvet night, I will wrap around us
     F                          Am
It's softer than words that are spoken
       F                           Em
In the towers of great cities that toppled and drowned
  F                            Am
Engraved on gold rings or some other love token
   Bm                 Em       Bm                      E7
No walls, no bells to sanctify this dark and velvet night

Found a lifetime ago

Down the Portobello Road

Lovers' snapshots of delight

Those rosy days of black and white

A                        Gmaj7
 Darling, don't make the tea
A                     Gmaj7
 Stay and snooze here with me

 I'm not ready for news

Seems a lifetime ago
      D           C             D
Power cuts that shut us down at night
                    Em
And the faces in my mind
        F            Am    D
Glowing amber in the candlelight
                       G
And behind the kitchen shelves
            D              C            D
Something's lost there and out of sight
                  Em
Young love's photographs
F              Am        D
Growing old in black and white

NO CAPO
 
[Intro]
Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em                D
  Take my arm and walk with me
         Cmaj7
Once more down this dusty old path
D
 The sunset cuts the hill in half
Cmaj7                            D
     Our shadows stretch back to touch the night
            Cmaj7
The light's fading, you say
                         D
But these darkening days
          Em
Flow like honey
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Em
These days slowing down
        D
A whole life in a glance
             Cmaj7
The clearest light shines in the darkness
D
Shining on me
          Cmaj7
And we’re still doing this dance
    D
One step at a time
       Cmaj7
As the days slip by
   D
As smooth as glass
            Em
The moments pass
 
 
[Chorus]
Em              D
   And all these precious things you gave
Cmaj7
     That I've been holding in my hands
D
 These grains of sand
Cmaj7
     A man stands in a river
        D
Pushes against the stream
Cmaj7
     Time is a tide that disobeys
D               Em
 It disobeys me

[Verse 3]
      Em
These days slowing down
        D
A whole life in a glance
             Cmaj7
The clearest light shines in the darkness
      D
Still shining on me
          Cmaj7
And we’re still doing this dance
    D
One step at a time
       Cmaj7
As the days slip by
   D
As smooth as glass
            Em
The moments pass

[Chorus]
Em              D
   And all these precious things you gave
Cmaj7
     Falling through my hands
D
 These worlds, this scattered sand
Cmaj7
     I stand in a river
D
Push against the stream
Cmaj7
Time is a tide that disobeys
       D
And it disobeys me
         Em
It never ends
