Verse 1

Crawl back to life.
It’s been far too long.
Crystallized
‘round interstellar moons.
Speed of light into your atmosphere.
What’s your world like?
Is the house we’ve built still here?

Girl you know

Chorus (Synthesizer Solo – Chorus)

When the beat of my drum
meets the beat of your heart,
you’ll know I couldn’t love any other, any other.
This is where I come from.
This is where I belong.
With the beat of your drum.
Not any other.

Verse 2

Fall through the sky.
Little specks below
magnify the further down I go.
I feel it in my bones.
Can you feel it too?
Is this the world I’ve known?
Is the house we’ve built still here?
Is the human race sincere?

Chorus (Synthesizer Solo – Chorus)

When the beat of my drum
meets the beat of your heart,
You’ll know I couldn’t love any other, any other.
This is where I come from.
This is where I belong.
With the beat of your drum.
Not any other.

Bridge

Feel the force of time
weighing down my mind.
Tears you cry, screaming at the sky
Come outside.
The rays are shinning bright.

Interlude (Chords & Synthesizer Solo – Same as Chorus)

C Em Am F C Em Am 2X

Ooh

Not any other
Feels like home
Where I belong ah ah

Chorus (Synthesizer Solo – Chorus)

When the beat of my drum
meets the beat of your heart,
You’ll know I couldn’t love any other, any other
This is where I come from.
This is where I belong.
With the beat of your drum.
Not any other.

(Verse 1)

People
In the middle

Life’s a riddle
D (Down Strum once)
Not a game of dice
Not for a man who rolls with us

Days turn
Faster than a minute
How was I to know this?
Would you even notice me?
G D (Down strum once)
Cause they’re imposters
We threw away the time

(Chorus)
Anagram
I’m just a messenger man
It’s the last time around

One of these days I wish you were
A hologram
If we’re just passengeres then
I wish it was the first time around

One of these days I wish you were
AH oooooh

(Verse 2)
All the people in
White stockings talk with pride
They’ll be lifting up the flags high
Which will I decide?
Cause they’re imposters
I’m making up

(Chorus)
Anagram
I’m just a messenger man
It’s the last time around

One of these days I wish you were
A hologram
If we’re just passengeres then
I wish it was the first time around

One of these days I wish you were
Ah oooooh

Collide

A stain in the light of your eyes
I’ll see you another time
Come on baby roll the dice
I’m feeling like it’s gonna break
This time will stars align?
I’m thinking that it’s all the same

Anagram
I’m just a messenger man
It’s the last time around

One of these days I wish you were
A hologram
If we’re just passengeres then
I wish it was the first time around

One of these days I wish you were
Ah oooooh

Anagram

Anagram

G……..

Oh what a pretty high note
Where you run to, I?ll go glistening
I should never know that
You were far from me,
But here in sin
Because I want water where it?s found
And you know, there there.

Oh tell me where you go
In the night, shadows are walking on the wall
Street walker where I go, is all of my fault
Just tell me where you are
Tell me where you love without leaving at all, and I?ll go!

Oh what a pretty high note
Where you run to, I?ll go glistening

I should never know that
You were far from me,
But here in sin
Because I want water where it?s found
And you know
If there is water, you?ll drown
Drown down in it

Drowning -eing!
Drowning -eing!
Drowning -eing!
Drowning -eing!

Oh what a pretty high note
Where you run to, I?ll go glistening
I should never know that
You were far from me,
But here in sin
Because I want water where it?s found
And you know
If there is water, you?ll drown
Drown down in it

That’s my cover of this amazing song by Young the Giant and these are the exact chords I
used. I tried to keep that same open the session feeling it had.

I know that in my cover, the strumming rhythm I use for the last half of the song is
different than the rhythm in the orignial version but that’s because in one part, I could
play that rhythm and sing at the same aaaand it’s also easier that way xD. Well I hope
this helps anyone! 🙂

Five days
Underwater
Near your island
Off the coast

Five ways
You were my lover
Incantations
Of the tide

In rhyme

Oh, all in the glow I’ll find you waiting
Oh, has it been so long now, I
Oh, I thought you knew that I’d be coming
The way you move, the foreign groove, at night

(Strum)
I could never
I could never hold you

Watch it rise up, where you hide your pearls
Feel it pile up, where you cast those stones you wear

All the years I’ve missed your warmth,
Have you missed my warmth?
On your island

Cheers

Intro:

All the kids are throwing sticks, politics, nights on the wire
Everybody wants to get by
‘Ts a test of the times
A test of my rights
It’s on pretty lady

Born to be angry, grip of the vice

Click on the trigger, girl, sip wine on ice
It’s about time
Best to rewind
You better blow (Pistols, pistols)

Lights low
Go on baby go

It’s a bad time
I’m on a tight rope
Don’t go-o
It’s about time, It’s about time

Everybody come on, lights on the beaches

Everybody come on; delight
Close the front door
I don’t wanna go
Like I’m on the “Truman Show”
Best to let go
You don’t wanna know
You better blow (Pistols, pistols, pistols)

Lights low
Go on baby go

It’s a bad time
I’m on a tight rope
Don’t go-o!
It’s about time, It’s about

Am G F G Em Dm C E (x2)

All the years of paradise
Paradigms, paralyze us
You’re crazy
All the cards you’ve organized

Shuffled twice in front of my eyes
Everybody has
Needs, wants, a cold gun

Lights low
Go on baby go

It’s a bad time
I’m on a tight rope
Don’t go-o
It’s about time, It’s about

(Pistols, pistols, pistols)
