Intro:

G
G D G D
Bm A
Verse 1:
                 Bm
Did you hear “Forever”?
       G                D    A
Was it playing soft and low?
                    Bm
It's not a song you wanna hear
   G                   D
If you’re not ready to go
 
 
Chorus:
G
 You’re not alone in the bright blue air
                                     D
Not alone if there’s no one there at all
G
 You’re not alone if your voice is unheard
                                                  D
Not alone, the song of the mockingbird don’t last long
                      Bm
They appear and then they’re gone
  E           G
I swear where music is made
           Bm
You’ll be there
 
 
Verse 2:
A           Bm
 And as the morning light
          G              D
Stretches out across the floor
A                    Bm
 Can’t believe it's another day
              G                D
And life goes on like it did before
 
 
Chorus:
G
 You're not alone when you're on your knees
                             D
Not alone if no one sees you fall
                         Bm
You never took a curtain call
           G
And you are not alone when you close your eyes
 
And slip into a dream that takes you to the other side
 
 
Bridge:
       Bm            Em
Of the songs in your head
Bm             G
Dizzy as a musical
       D                  A
Stupid songs you can’t forget
       Bm                   G
Beyond pretty, beyond beautiful
             E               G
Wherever the strange is on parade
             Em       G
Wherever the music is made
          Bm
You’ll be there
 
 
Outro:
A                   Bm
 Did you know he is close to God
    G                     D
Who makes his old friends laugh?
A                       Bm
 Did you know Hal the magician?
              G                           D
I watched him disappear from a photograph

Verse 1:
     G
I’ll meet you in the air
     Bm
I’ll meet you with the fare
G
On the Underground
 
Wherever you be found
     D              Bm
I’ll meet you there
     G
I’ll meet you in time
     Bm
I’ll meet you cruel or kind
    G
The heart weighs a ton if you need someone
            D                   Bm
And they’re standing on the platform
                 A
But it's the other side
 
 
Verse 2:
     G
I’ll meet you in the air
     Bm
I’ll meet you when you’re not there
    G
The shopping list of all you missed
D              Bm
Let's go there
     G
I’ll meet you in the surreal
     Bm
I’ll meet you in the joy you steal
G
Stones and sticks you’re kicking the pricks
    D                  Bm     A
And still I’m learning how to kneel
 
Or what not to feel
 
 
Chorus:
D                      A
 And when we reach the Circle line
Bm                           Em
  And when we stop the clocks stopping time
D                   A
 To wake up an unforgiving son
Bm                       Em
  Wake in the dream that overcomes
     D              A
In a life, we get a taste of it all
     Bm   Em
In a life
 
 
Verse 3:
     G
I’ll meet you in the air
     Bm
I’ll meet you when you don’t care
       G
In the empty space that occupies your place
   D                Bm
I’ll meet you there
  G
A penny on the track
   Bm
We ran and get it back
    G
The driver on the train
 
Whose soul's in so much pain
     D                 Bm
Says love will flatten
             A
But it won’t crack
 
The coin won’t crack
 
 
Chorus:
D                     A
 And when we make our bed out of war
Bm                    Em
  Deafen our children with its roar
D                  A
 Repeat, rewind, replay once more
Bm                Em
  Never unsee the sights they saw
     D
In a life
       A
We get caught in the traffic
     Bm
In a life
        Em
We make misery from magic
     D
In a life
            A
We miss the comic in the tragic
     Bm
In a life
     Em
In a life
 
 
Refrain:
        D
I feel alone, I need it known
         A
I never achieved anything on my own
        Bm
I feel alone, I need it known
         Em
I only received from being shown
        D
I feel alone, I need it known
         A
I never achieved anything on my own
           Bm
A skipping stone, I was thrown
          Em
The ocean floor is not my home
 
 
Outro:
     D
In a life
           A
We catch a glimpse of someone else
      Bm
In your eyes
         Em               D
Caught a glance of myself

Bridge:
        C            Em
I’m the last of your loves
    D          G
The loser, the least
        C           Em          D            Bm
I’m the name on the form that demands your release
        C                Em
I’m the silence when you grieve
     D             G
I’ll keep you company

Put your hands on my hand

Feel the nails of the state
                      C        Em
Punching holes in the innocent
                  D    Bm
To fill them with hate
 
 
Outro:
         C         Em
When the townhall cries

For someone to blame

Making laws out of lies
          D            Bm
And legal robes out of shame
                    C    Em
Put your hand in my side
                     D       G
Feel the contours of control
                     C          Em
The silver spikes of friendship
             D    Bm
Traded for a soul
                  C           Em
The touch and the taste of me
        D     G
Vinegar sweet
                     C  Em
You won’t know who I am
                 D
The next time we meet
    Bm           A
The next time we meet

I can’t see you but I know you’re there

And not every song will be a prayer
 
 
Chorus:

Verse 1:
          C
"Am I the best or the worst or the worst of the best " she sang
F
Ice cream smile wide as a mile back then
C
"Say a nice prayer, be a good girl, finger on my lips"
F
When she returned her lipstick had learned how not to kiss
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
        Bb
I can't fix her, can only love her
 
Can't keep her pocket full
        Am
I can't keep her face in smiles
 
Someone’s stolen what was beautiful
        F
I can't sing her home to me in rhymes
