Tumble Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Haunted, haunted by a sha[A]dow
[E]From the [D]ghost of one I [C]knew[Am]
[C]You[E] sent a pic[F#m] ture[D]
from the last days in [A]London
[Am]I'm looking [Bsus4]at it uptown,
[B]see[A]ing throug[B]h
[D]I get the f[G]eeli[D]ng y[A]ou're
just [G]scattering your ashes
[D]Across the cob[G]blestones
and river[D]s of des[G]pair
[D]I see you r[G]unning t[D]o m[A]e
from [G]your absolution
[D]Say [F#m]your p[C#m]erfect prayer,
tumble down the [C]stairs
[Am]Your [E]words are fra[F#m] gile,[D]
fragile as a [A]memory
[E]I read one l[D]ine and I could t[C]ell
[E]You're running [F#m]out of[D] places
left to [A]hold on to
[C]You're [Am]running [Bsus4]out of any hope[B]
[A]to run this wel[B]l
[D]I see a f[G]lick [D]er in the[A] lig[G]ht
of dying [F#m]candles
[D]That line the [G]catacom[A]b
of cathedrals [D]in the [G]square
[D]You turn up [G]in its [D]path,
[A]you feel [G]no absolution
[F#m]Say yo[C#m]ur perfect prayer,
tumble down the [C]stairs[Am][C#m][Cm]
[A]I o[Dm]ften wonder if you can s[E]ee that
[Eaug]One day you [E]will find
[Am]the furthest wall[F]
[Am]Have to turn and [G]face it all
Run[Dm]ning from the bitterness of [E]soul
You [Eaug]couldn't [E]get to far[Am], you kno[Eaug]w
[E]You tak[G]e it whe[Em]re you[G] go[Em][D]
A [Dm]burden you've borne [G]alone
[E]Breaks you [B]every [Esus4]time you're foun[E]d[Am][D][C][B][E][F#m]
[D][A][E][Em][F#m][D][C][E]
[F#m][D][A][Am][Bsus4][E][A][B]
[D]Retrace your [G]footsteps
cause you know [A]you're
[G]missing [D]something
Must have mis[G]placed it
or forgotten [D]it some[G]where
[D]You play [A]this [G]game of [A]hide
and [G]seek without solution
[C#m]Say your perfect prayer,
turn around the stairs
[D]I get the fee[G]ling you're
just scattering your ashes
[D]Acr[F#m]oss the[D] common[G] stones,
rivers of despair
[D]I see you r[G]unning t[A]o and
[G]from your absolution
[D]Say[C#m] a big prayer,
turn down the stairs
[D]We trash our [G]footsteps
[A]cause you know [G]we're
missing something
[D]Must have misplaced [D]it
or [A]forgotten [D]it some[G]where
[D]We play this [G]game of hide
[A]and [G]seek with a solution
Say [C#m]a perfect prayer
Don't go down the stairs
I see you flicker in the night
