Intro:
G# minorG#m


Verse 1:
G# minorG#m
I drove you South through the landscape that you love
G# minorG#m
All those medieval towns with theâ??cobbledâ??stones
G# minorG#m
Washed by the?blood of the martyrs
G# minorG#m
In the lastâ??great stand of the true believers

Verse 2:
G# minorG#m
The hilltop villages baking in the afternoon sun
G# minorG#m
The walls pocked with old bullet holes
G# minorG#m
And the iron and the stone that broke the people's backs
G# minorG#m
All played out for the tourists
G# minorG#m
I've always considered it best never to disturb ghosts
G# minorG#m
But it seems that women always want to go straight to the heart of things
G# minorG#m
And as you said, you have your reasons


Chorus:
    E MajorE                      C# minorC#m
And the roads are like the lines in the palm of my hand
           G# minorG#m
Wearing deeper and dividing
    E MajorE                    C# minorC#m
And for 3am confessions the safest place that I know
                BB         G# minorG#m
Is here between departing and arriving but never arriving


Verse 3:
G# minorG#m
There was that club we used to go to way out by the park
G# minorG#m
Where the music was loud and the corners were dark
G# minorG#m
And we'd sit in those corners like some kind of witches coven

Verse 4:
G# minorG#m
We were so young and brave, always looking for trouble
G# minorG#m
It's easy to find it when you're looking for trouble
G# minorG#m
We'd take on all comers when no more would come we'd take on each other
G# minorG#m
So when the phone call came I wasn't really so surprised
G# minorG#m
I set off with good intentions but soon I was lost
G# minorG#m
And the signs were all graffitied out and the compass needle spinning


Chorus:
    E MajorE                     C# minorC#m
And the roads are like the lines in the palm of my hand
           G# minorG#m
Wearing deeper and dividing
    E MajorE                   C# minorC#m
And for 3am confessions the safest place that I know
                BB          G# minorG#m
Is here between departing and arriving but never arriving
    C#C#   E(7th)           G#G#
Never arriving     still still never arriving


Bridge 1:
G# minorG#m
G#m G# minorG#m G#m F#F#
G# minorG#m G#m G# minorG#m F#F#


Bridge 2:
       E MajorE                  C# minorC#m
And now I've seen the very worst that you could be
                        BB
And you'd have been the witness to the same of me
                G# minorG#m
Somehow it should be easy to forgive everything that happened


Chorus:
      E MajorE                        C# minorC#m
Back on the roads that are like the lines in the palm of my hand
           G# minorG#m
Wearing deeper and dividing
    E MajorE                    C# minorC#m
And for cowards like me the safest place that we know
                BB         G# minorG#m
Is here between departing and arriving but never arriving
    E MajorE    C# minorC#m     BB        G# minorG#m
Never arriving    Never arriving  Never arriving
