With beady black eyes the bluebird has died
its feathers have [F#m/C#]dried, it couldn’t sur[G/D]vive,
from the [D/A]winter’s grasp, nothing ever lasts
But you and I know the seasons are slow
the rivers they [F#m/C#]froze, the wind always [G/D]blows
down [D/A]all our dreams, the engine’s out of steam

All of your days will be blessed
so put on a smile and get dressed
into the void we will fly away from here
All of your thoughts will be crowned
you’ll be the toast of the town
into the view of a million crystal spheres

Pitchfork in my foot, I tried the best I could
dragging all this [F#m/C#]wood with a rusty old fish[G/D]hook
to [D/A]feed the fire and make our blood flow higher
But I’m a stubborn man, the sun needs my command
I’m gonna make a [F#m/C#]stand, condemn this twisted [G/D]land
I’m [D/A]sure you’d agree, but I can’t leave you see

All of your days will be blessed
so put on a smile and get dressed
into the void we will fly away from here
All of your thoughts will be crowned
you’ll be the toast of the town
into the view of a million crystal spheres

All of your days will be blessed
so put on a smile and get dressed
into the void we will fly away from here
All of your thoughts will be crowned
you’ll be the toast of the town
into the view of a million crystal spheres

Repeat intro

Verse
when you’re on your own
you walk in the rain
you walk around the house
and then walk around it again
you pretend you’re happy
that you’ve got it all
but don’t be upset
if you fall on your knees
(keep strumming G)
and beg like a dog!

Chorus
D A Em(high)
I’ve reached a low, don’t you know
You’re the apple of my eye
I’m running low, with this show
No matter how I try
I’m sick of this angst, don’t need thanks
You’re the apple of my eye

Rest of words

I drink a lot of wine
When I am alone
I lose my track of time
My ideas turn to stone
I pretend I’m sad
That I’m still so small
But I’m not upset If
I fall on my knees
And beg like a dog
I’ve reached a low, don’t you know
You’re the apple of my eye
I’m running low, with this show
No matter how I try
I’m sick of this angst, don’t need thanks
You’re the apple of my eye
I’ve reached a low, don’t you know
You’re the apple of my eye
I’m running low, with this show
No matter how I try
I’m sick of this angst, don’t need thanks
You’re the apple of my eye

Well… this is it. Listen to the strumming of the chords to get them right.

Intro:
Play E over and over.

Spider has eight legs you know

Spins its web the patterns flow

There’s something in my eye

Bloodshot in disguise
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/ed_harcourt/something_in_my_eye_crd.html )
God knows I really tried

Making the big time

Aiming to climb high

Scattered seeds can’t fight the cold
Circus horse just wants to hold

There’s something in my eye
Bloodshot in disguise
God knows I’m really tired
Let’s make the big time
Aiming to climb high

Let’s make the big time
Aiming to climb high
Aiming to climb high

Spider has eight legs you know
