Tension Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Lik[F#]e a d[C]es[Em]ert, [C]so smooth
So calm, like velvet
Like wire, so taut
So stretched, like steel
The surface is [G]rippling
[C]And straining and cracking
[F#]From [E]wit[C]hin[E][C][E][C][Em][C]
Like a bomb just ticking
[F#]And wait[Em]ing l[C]ike [Em]hours[C]
And hours keep folding
And winding and [Em]stretch
[C]ing[B]
[G]And deep down inside
The founda[C]tions are
tearing apart
And the [A]holes are all gap[E]ing
[A]Swallowing [E]everything
[B]Please take me out of this dream
[F#]Tension[C][E][C][Em][C][Em][C]
[F#][C][F#][C][Em][C]
[Em]Nightmares [C]like [Em]circles
[C]Of lie[F#]s all hid[Em]den[C]
[Em]Seeth[C]ing and smouldering
Under the [Em]covers
[C]No [G]fir[C]e, no passion
But un[F#]easy silence
And peace
In [A]terror I'm wait[E]ing
For the [A]one great explosion
[B]Please take me out of this [C]dream
Ten[C]sion

[Outro 1]
