E
long we were searching
Bm
these serpentine streets for the signs of a spark
A
fucking around in the dark
E
then long we were held
Bm
in the thrum and the desperate heat of the clubs
A E
drinking deep from that cup
E
we'd drink it up
Bm
we'd drink it up
A
we'd drink it up
E
we'd drink it up
E
each step was something
Bm
the beat in the blood and the heat in our hands
A
of twelve regular men
E
so when we come down cathedral street
Bm
hollow and beaten, to the room that i rent
A
i'm going back up again
E
i'm going up
Bm
i'm going up
A
i'm going up
E
i'm going up
E
but while everything is blooming
Bm
you know the wilting always waits
A E
to steal away your body, to steal away your brains
E
oh man i hate this part,
Bm
when the car sails off the bridge
A E
am i the knuckles white inside? or am i the water rushing in?
E
am i rising up?
Bm
am i rising up?
A
am i rising up?
E
am i rising up?
A Abm F#m E
silent night, holy night
A Abm F#m E A B
take my eyes, take my mind and lay me down!
A Abm F#m E
oh! sweet winter kiss on these heavy lids!
A Abm F#m E A B
sweet winter gift of dreamless sleep, lay me down! draw me out!
no!

doctor unbandage my eyes
A E B
i feel the light and i'm ready to be out in it

i feel the light and i'm ready to be rising!
