a-ha – Cosy Prisons (Ukulele)

Bm            A
Take a moment if you dare

G                Bm
Catch yourself a breath of air

G               Gbm
There's another life out there

    Bm
And you should try it

Bm                A
Dead ends hide on every street

G               Bm
Look before you place your feet

G                   Gbm
Cracks and fissures keep the beat

        Bm
And you're inside it

Bm
Every thought you never dared to think

G
Every mood you always knew would sink

Bm
Every line you spoke out loud in a jest

G
All the time you took to be your best

Bm
Soon forgotten

    Bm             A
The sun must never touch your skin

   G                Bm
It could expose the dark within

       G          Gbm           Bm
You're paranoid a-bout the para-noia

    Bm              A
And panic hits with-out a sign

    G              Bm
You worry about it all the time

G             Gbm         Bm
Every perfect moment is a hidden warning

    G
Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin

    Bm
And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in

     G
With everything this way it's better to forget

     Bm                     A
Than end up in a place with something to regret

     Bm            A
Your transatlantic shopping spree

     G              Bm
Your health forever guarantees

   G         Gbm                Bm    
Or-ganic bio life's a breeze in cosy prisons

    Bm                A
But hiding out in the salad bar

G           Bm
Isn't gonna get you far

    G               Gbm        Bm
And bottled wine is vinegar to-morrow

G
Everything around here makes your pretty head spin

    Bm
Its piling up high and you're back where you begin

G
Moments you have tried so hard to forget

    Bm                         A
Are promising to have been the best ones yet

Bm
Every time you shut your eyes it appears

G
Every time you trace your steps back here

Bm
None of your convictions have the same old ring

G
No doubt you found a place for everything

   Bm/E
In cosy prisons

Bm             A
  So if you're careful

    G         Bm
You won't get hurt

    G                 Gbm
But if you're careful all the time

     Bm
then what's it worth
