Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
For the first time in my life
There's a warm, warm rain
Upon the hotel balcony
Where we looked out upon
a darkening sea and the
light And the light upon the mediterranean
Burned like candles in the memory
Of all the things that we mislaid on the way here
Why did Nirvana ever bother to play here?
Hey there, I don't want to stay here
I decree there is a higher plane
Some place of little consequence
That I might see your face again
before the living and the dead
Are reunited
And this town,
this town is killing me now
I can't believe I waited so long
From the shopping trolleys on the riverbed
To the sound of the bass binss booming
Can I see your face in this acid light
Of another suburban evening
As I roll my eyes up to these dirty skies
Till I count the days till I am leavin
I decree there is a higher plane
Some place of little consequence
That I might see your face again
before the living and the dead
Are reunited
What is love?
What is love in the time of ecstasy
And bare-knuckle fighting?
Lord, won't you deliver me from the wave machine
And the transparent bikini
Like isn't there some skeleton on me
I should find that I might vanquish thee,
Wont you listen to me, your unfaithful servant
of filthy, fucking language
I decree there is a higher plane
Some place of little consequence
That I might see your face again
before the living and the dead
Are reunited
What is love
What is love in the time of ecstasy
And bareknuckle fighting
Don't tell me that he died for that
Councillor forgive me for I
Knew not what I vandalised
Don't tell me that he died for that
Take me down to the Paradise club
Where the girls are drunk and oversized
DOn't tell me that he died for that
There's a crack in the handle of a coronation cup
That I once brought back
I decree there is a higher plane
Some place of little consequence
