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
