Chords

This song is written in two different keys, F# major in the chorus and A major in the verses. This is why some of the chord names I've chosen might look odd. [Intro] Dm E F G A Bb x4 [Chorus]
Dm            E      F
   I was born with a trust

                  G                    A      Bb
   That didn't survive the white noise of the lies  Ooooooh

Dm               E    F                   G
   The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes

                A  Bb
   I just wanna get high
[Verse 1]
A
   I am the great collector

                         G
   I tally catalogue and hold to the light

                       B
   Forgotten scenes of love

                     E  
   Some of them were mine

   F#m D
   All mine

E A
   I pick the broken dreams
That hang in city centre trees
   G
   All the love made urgently

                                      B
   That gathers in the gutters of your mind

                  E
   Some of it was mine

       D
   All mine
[Chorus]
Dm            E      F

   I just wanna get high Ooooooh

Dm            E      F
   I was born with a trust

[Verse 2]
A
   I tried to save the world silly boy

                       G
   By sullen girl with love as a given

                Bm
   Driven by my certainty

                             E         F#m D
   That they'd never beat it out of me

 E A
   But who am I some Blarney Mantovani

                           G
   With a lullaby when the sky is falling in?

                        Bm
   I believe I'm giving in

           E
   Oh, the coldness of space

          D
   With a suit that could do it
[Chorus]
Dm            E      F
   I was born with a trust

                  G                    A      Bb
   That didn't survive the white noise of the lies  Ooooooh

Dm               E    F                   G
   The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes

                A  Bb
   I just wanna get high  Ooooooh

   Dm            E      F
   I was born with a trust

                  G                    A      Bb
   That didn't survive the white noise of the lies  Ooooooh

Dm               E    F                   G
   The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes

                A  Bb
   I just wanna get high    Ooh-
[Outro] Dm E F G A Bb x2
