No one was crying
They simply got a little something in their eye
No one was lonely
They just could not get hold of anybody
Over the summer, a lot changed
And they all changed to keep up with it
Too complicated
Too complex to talk to anybody

[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to pro[Em/B]ve it (Rolling shadow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Fallen arrow)

All this is sky light
Forget that it’s there but it’s there, no doubt about it
Take a photo of it, come back years on
And wonder why you took it
Thousands of people
Tight lines and hopes the weather stays the weekend
Clouds and rain
And no one cares ‘til they’ve got the marks to prove it

[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Rolling shadow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Fallen arrow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Rolling shadow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Fallen arrow)
(Rolling shadows, fallen arrows)

[Instrumental]

[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Rolling shadow)

Intro:

[/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/]

Cradle me, I’ll cradle you
I’ll win your heart, with a whoop-whoo
Pulling shapes just for your eyes
Bm E (let ring)
So with toothpaste kisses and lines

I’ll be yours and you’ll be

Lay with me, I’ll lay with you
We’ll do the things, that lovers do
Put the stars in our eyes
and with heart shaped bruises and late night kisses… divine

Stay with me, stay with you
Doing things that lovers do
What else to do,

End, comments welcome

I understand that it never ends
She’s waiting round every corner; round every bend
And it hurts to know that I won’t know if you knew how the summer went
I understand silence

I understand that it never ends
She’s waiting round every corner; round every bend
When you’re scared and lost don’t let it all build up
Break the silence

Someone to call a best friend
Someone to be there when it ends
When you’re scared and lost don’t let it all[G/] build up
Break the silence

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

Lets take our precious time about it
Lets take our precious time about it

Lets take our precious time about

We’ll need heart and we’ll need courage in these times

Capo on 2nd fret!

So soon we’re, so soon we’re, so soon we’re too old to carry
We knew we, knew we, we knew we only had a little while
In the middle,in the middle,in the middle,just keep ticking over
And Before you know it,and before you know it, and before you know it,
parent a parent

To have it all, to have it all, to have it all and still want more
One things for sure, one things for sure, one things for sure we’re all getting older
So we take a lover, so we take a lover, so we take a lover waiting in the corner
Before you know it, before you know it, before you know it pushing up the daisies

And we go back to where we came from

Like those before and those to come
And know its the ever and the more

And again and again and again

In the end, in the end, in the end nothing comes easy
So you find a way, so you find a way, so you find a way to take a little with you
For the ones you love,for the ones you love, for the ones you love, there if they need to
Pharaoh, pharaoh, pharaoh they’re not coming with you.

And we go back to where we came from

Like those before and those to come
And know its the ever and the more

And again and again and again

So soon we’re, so soon we’re, so soon we’re too old to carry
We knew we, knew we, we knew we only had a little while
In the middle,in the middle,in the middle,just keep ticking over
And Before you know it,and before you know it, and before you know it,
parent a parent

And we go back to where we came from

Like those before and those to come
And know its the ever and the more

And again and again and again

and thats it 🙂

[(F#m)]Must be like nothing else
[(F#m)]Must be like nothing else
[(Abm)]Taste like nothing else
Help like nothing else
Ease you and comfort and seem
Something like happiness

Oooooh
[(A)]You just know when you know you just know
Oooooh
[(A)]You got somewhere to go when you go

[(F#m)]If you love them
[(F#m)]Go and tell them
[(Abm)]Tell them over and over and over again
Heaven forbid opportunities missed

If it’s over
Let it be over
Cause when time and again you have tried it again
And you’ve worn it right down to the bone

Oooooh

Oooooh

1st Verse

----------------------

Drinking when you’re drunken
To chase down the evening
God that girl goes graceful
Wondering which way’s home
I heard nothing was changing
And that’s the shirt you’re wearing
No wonder no one’s noticed
That the summer’s been and gone
No one says a word
Because it breaks a heart
Submarine keep diving
Seagulls at the waste bins
Wish them all a winter
Must be rough at sea

-----------------------

Chorus

-----------------------

He’s given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows
The only time he’s cried since he was seven years old
Your best friends forgive you
Your best friends forget you get old

-----------------------

2nd Verse

-----------------------

Steaming at the corners
When the blue pulled over
Said he wanted seasons
Miss red hot October
The Black Maria
Is where he finds his honour
The darker the corner
Now the summer’s been and gone
No one says a word because it breaks her heart
The coming and the going
Blame it on the ocean
Or coastal erosion
It must be rough at sea

-----------------------

Chorus (x2)

-----------------------

He’s given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows
The only time he’s cried since he was seven years old
Your best friends forgive you
Your best friends forget you get old

He’s given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows
The only time he’s cried since he was seven years old
Your best friends forgive you
Your best friends forget you get old
You get old

-----------------------

Outro

----------------------- 

No one says a word
Because it breaks her heart…

Oh….

Love I was torn, I was torn, But I
put those thoughts away
Love, just a thought, Will the gods look kindly
Those thoughts are behind me, oh..
why would you be led to suppose, Oh…
why would you be led by your nose, Why would you

Kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies, Why would you
Kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies, Those puffy eyes are no
surprise

When there’s a
devil in the doorway, Heaven in the hallway
Say you’ll still adore me, And I?m

far out on an ocean, Trapped in a disaster
I’d say I still adore you…. Oh..

Oh why would you carry on a…
name… Oh…
why would you carry on the… same. Why would you

kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies? Why would you
kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies? Those killer
eyes don’t look the same, the same, the same
as they used to do, Not like the
eyes, the eyes, the eyes that I make at you
I make at you, I make at you

It was torn up But now it?s alright, alright.
It was torn up alright
It was torn up But now it?s alright, alright.
It was torn up alright

Thought I’d tab this as no one else seems to have and its a cracking song.
For the chords just pick them fairly quickly as Orlando does in the video.

I woke up with a loved one’s eyes upon me

Loved one’s arms around me

Oh…oh… She’s my one and only

I grew up in the bosom of my family

Eight strong arms around me

Oh…Oh… from the seed they’ve grown me

And I thank those

Those who kept me company

They are a wall of arms around me

Bm(let ring) Am (let ring) G
Oh… Oh… Its they who are my army

And through these eyes

There’s no god above me

No devil below me

No purgatory, no pearly gates

The worms are what await me

It’s only me that can forgive me and

I have faith, oh…Oh…I have faith

oh…Oh…Oh I have faith

Oh…oh…oh

But In those who put up with me
