[Intro 1]
[Em][B][Em][B][Em]
[Am][Em]
[B]

[Verse 1]
The [B]baby [Em]was born
Nettles and ferns
The evening [Am]it chokes
The candle it burns
This dis[Em]guise [C]cover[Em]s bitter lies
Re[B]peating the joke
The meaning it dies
Pass me [Em]a coat I'm not afraid to leave
I'm letting [Am]you know
I know what you need
I'll [C]turn you [Em]around
This beautiful town
And [B]then you'll believe it when
your eyes then deceive you

[Verse 2]
[C]It's [Em]easy, don't let it go
It's [Am]easy, don't let it go
[C]It's easy, don't [Em]let it go
[B]Don't lose it

[Verse 3]
[B][C][Em]
[Am]It's[C]
[Em]gett[B]ing
colder [Em]outside
Your rented space
They [Am]shadow box and
they paper chase
It never [Em]stops
[C]And we'[Em]ll never learn
[B]No hope without dope
The jobless return
The bankers [Em]have bailed
The mighty retreat
The [Am]pleasure it fails
At the end of the week
You take it [Em]or l[C]eave
[Em]Or what you receive
To [B]what you receive
Is eternited leave

[Verse 4]
[C]It's [Em]easy, don't let it go
[Am]It's easy, don't let it go
[C]It's easy, don't [Em]let it go
[B]Don't lose it

[Verse 5]
[Em]
Incandescent light at [Am]doors
In adolescent menopause
In [Em]little clicks you got
the music stops
[B]The needle sticks and
the penny drops
The summer[Em]'s gone
before you know
[Am]The muffled drums of relentless flow
You're [Em]looking at stars
that give you Vertigo
The [B]sun's still burning
and dust will blow
Hon[Em]ey scars I'll keep you near
[Am]Our blood is gold nothing to fear
[Em]We killed the time and I love you dear
[B]A kiss of wine we'll disappear
[Em]The last of the last particles
Di[Am]visible invisible
The [Em]last of the last particles
Di[B]visible invisible
