[Intro]
C C
[Verse 1]
C
These quills will jolt and penetrate
G
Some pass while others can't relate
Am
I stood hopelessly myself
F
You hate when it gets this close
C
And I know the blank look you put on
G
Like some concertino wire
Am
In here I try to change my life
F
I hit the same wall every time
C C C C
[Chorus]
F Am
The night accelerates
C F
When you need it most
F Am C F
I am a satellite - And a holy ghost
F Am
The mind is a battlefield
C F
But the heart is a surgeon
And I am between them
C
And I am uncertain
C C C C
[Verse 2]
C
I try to know you but I'm too late
G
Some guy told you how you're no good
Am
So now you're gonna prove him right
F
We're all trauma all the time
C
And I ought to charge you by the hour
G
For all the time I think on you
Am
I caught you plotting my demise
F
I thought I ought to help you try
C C C C
[Chorus]
F Am
The night accelerates
C F
When you need it most
F Am C F
I am a satellite - to your holy ghost
F Am
The mind is a battlefield

But the heart is an anchor
Why can't you find me?
C
I've never been closer

[Verse 3]
C
What if the life you tried to live
G
Was diametrically opposed
Am
To what everyone agrees
F
Is good, good enough for most
C
And I'm tired of always being right
G
And risking everything on you
Am
You're never there when I get home
F
You watch then you turn me off
C C
[Chorus]
F Am
The night accelerates
C F
When you need it most
F Am C F
I am a colour test - in a field of ghosts
F Am
The mind is a battlefield
C F
But the heart is a surgeon
And we are between them
C
And we are uncertain
C C
