and turn this, darkness, into light, and then I’ll turn too bright, forget all the hype

I’ll need heart and you’ll need courage, We all need…

Toe to toe, there’s nowhere to go, so I’m tiptoeing around it
I held you down and I held my own, and now I feel like I’m floating

So turn to this, head on and keep on, keeping on

and I’ll need heart and you’ll need courage
We all need time
So let’s make time… work for us
Let’s make time work for us
Let’s make time work for us
Let’s make time work for us

Let’s take our precious time about it
Let’s take our precious time about it
Let’s take our precious time about it
Let’s take our precious time about it

Don’t you know, nobody knows, is there somebody waiting?
So you’ll hold yourself up and you hold yourself in and then pray that you are growing

and turn to this, darkness, you turn it into light, and then you’ll turn too bright,
all the hype

And I’ll need heart and you’ll need courage
We all need time
So let’s make time… work for us
Lets make time work for us
Lets make time work for us
Lets make time work for us

Lets take our precious time about it
Lets take our precious time about it
Lets take our precious time about it
Heavier G
Lets take our precious time about it
Lets take our precious time about it

Lets take our precious time about

G Em quick strumming X2

slow
We’ll need heart and we’ll need courage in these times
Because time can mean so much and you steal mine

I think hugo uses a slide to get the effect he does, and i think he plays

e|---17-15----------|
B|1---------1--10--8|

Spearmint rhino was taking our money when

Gran was robbed of her own life honey

The driverless cornet last post on the trumpe

His blind crippled crumpet dont like it but lump it

The engine it wont start without him

C Am Em (stop)
The engine it wont start without

The second verse is exactly the same format with the same chords

Then the quicker bit comes in, with hugo playing

e|-------8------8--12-8|
B|-8-10-8-8---10-10----|

And felix playing

A|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5
E|--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3

I think its palm muted at first and then open

I think this is almost right, cheers guys and gals.

[-7-]-8-
-9- is in there, in that p/m intro part, other chords around that part of
-9- the neck aswell, but like i said, this is just rough help.
[-7-]
[-7-]
then there’s the four, single-hit notes that follow, which i think are:

|----14---------------------|
|----------10----------10---|
|-----------------7---------|

then comes the unkown chords of the intro, then the song verse settles in when the
hit “do you miss home?”. and i believe the chords to this are A then E. otherwise known as:

Do you miss home?

-5- -0- -5-|
-5- -0- -5-|
-6- -1- -6-| x2
-7- -2- -7-|
-7- -2- -7-|
-5- -0- -5-|
And are you coo-e-ool-e-ool-e-ool-e-ool?

PALM MUTED:

-5- -0- -5-|
-5- -0- -5-|
-6- -1- -6-| x2
-7- -2- -7-|
-7- -2- -7-|
-5- -0- -5-|

i’m afraid that’s all i have. sorry about that, can’t figure all of this one out.
