Standard (EADGBE)

long we were searching

 these serpentine streets for the signs of a spark

 fucking around in the dark

 then long we were held

 in the thrum and the desperate heat of the clubs

 drinking deep from that cup

 we'd drink it up

 we'd drink it up

 we'd drink it up

 we'd drink it up

each step was something

 the beat in the blood and the heat in our hands

 of twelve regular men

 so when we come down cathedral street

 hollow and beaten, to the room that i rent

 i'm going back up again

(Switches to more agressive strumming, use standard chord fingerings)

 i'm going up

 i'm going up

 i'm going up

 i'm going up

(E is played throughout the interlude, trying messing around with a Dm scale for leads)

 but while everything is blooming

 you know the wilting always waits

 to steal away your body, to steal away your brains

oh man i hate this part,

 when the car sails off the bridge

 am i the knuckles white inside? or am i the water rushing in?

 am i rising up?

 am i rising up?

 am i rising up?

 am i rising up?

singing

silent night, holy night

take my eyes, take my mind and lay me down!

 oh! sweet winter kiss on these heavy lids!

sweet winter gift of dreamless sleep, lay me down! draw me out!

no!

doctor unbandage my eyes

i feel the light and i'm ready to be out in it

doctor uncover my ears

I hear the chorus weeping, i see the people singing:

doctor unbandage my eyes

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

doctor uncover my ears!

I hear the chorus weeping! i see the people singing:

(Chill)

let the loser up.

let the loser up.

 let's get him up.

 let's get him up.

 let's get him up.

 let's get him up.
