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
