🎸 Reading Heaney To Me chords by Snow Patrol

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)



Intro:
G  Em  Bm C x2


Verse 1:
G  Em        Bm
The night tumbles on us
   C
With gentle pause
G  Em        Bm
The cars and the chaos
   C
And muted purr

Verse 2:
G  Em        Bm
The couch and the kettle
   C
A call to arms
G  Em     Bm
Your arms to be exact
   C
They bring me home


Chorus:
 G
I sit still
 Em
I hold my tongue
   Bm
Just use your voice
  C
And heaney's words
G            Em
Dig your way through to my heart
Bm         C
Plant your flag and set up camp
   G
I've shut my eyes
   Em
I've closed the blinds
   Bm       C
Turn the phones and nightlights off
   G        Em
Just you and me and naturalists
Bm        C
Held with tender hands and mouth


Bridge:
G   Em
 The storm's on the island
Bm        C
Are just whispers now
G   Em
 I melt with the warm words
Bm        C
And your coffee tones
G   Em
 The dark twisted creatures
Bm        C
Can't find us here
G   Em
 Your hand on my forehead
Bm        C
Is the softest vice


Chorus:
 G
I sit still
 Em
I hold my tongue
   Bm
Just use your voice
  C
And heaney's words
G           Em
Dig your way through to my heart
Bm         C
Plant your flag and set up camp
   G
I've shut my eyes
   Em
I've closed the blinds
   Bm       C
Turn the phones and nightlights off
   G        Em
Just you and me and naturalists
Bm        C
Held with tender hands and mouth
