Chords

[Intro] G#m [Verse 1]
G#m
I drove you South through the landscape that you love

G#m
All those medieval towns with the cobbled stones

G#m
Washed by the…blood of the martyrs

G#m
In the last great stand of the true believers
[Verse 2]
G#m
The hilltop villages baking in the afternoon sun

G#m
The walls pocked with old bullet holes

G#m
And the iron and the stone that broke the people's backs

G#m
All played out for the tourists

G#m
I've always considered it best never to disturb ghosts

G#m
But it seems that women always want to go straight to the heart of things

G#m
And as you said, you have your reasons
[Chorus]
        E                                            C#m
And the roads are like the lines in the palm of my hand

                      G#m
Wearing deeper and dividing

        E                                       C#m
And for 3am confessions the safest place that I know

                                B                  G#m
Is here between departing and arriving but never arriving
[Verse 3]
G#m
There was that club we used to go to way out by the park

G#m
Where the music was loud and the corners were dark

G#m
And we'd sit in those corners like some kind of witches coven
[Verse 4]
G#m
We were so young and brave, always looking for trouble

G#m
It's easy to find it when you're looking for trouble

G#m
We'd take on all comers when no more would come we'd take on each other

G#m
So when the phone call came I wasn't really so surprised

G#m
I set off with good intentions but soon I was lost

G#m
And the signs were all graffitied out and the compass needle spinning
[Chorus]
        E                                          C#m
And the roads are like the lines in the palm of my hand

                     G#m
Wearing deeper and dividing

        E                                     C#m
And for 3am confessions the safest place that I know

                                B                   G#m
Is here between departing and arriving but never arriving
C# E(7th) G# Never arriving still still never arriving [Bridge 1] G#m G#m G#m G#m F# G#m G#m G#m F# [Bridge 2]
             E                                    C#m
And now I've seen the very worst that you could be

                                               B
And you'd have been the witness to the same of me

                                G#m
Somehow it should be easy to forgive everything that happened
[Chorus]
            E                                               C#m
Back on the roads that are like the lines in the palm of my hand

                     G#m
Wearing deeper and dividing

        E                                        C#m
And for cowards like me the safest place that we know

                                B                  G#m
Is here between departing and arriving but never arriving

        E        C#m         B                G#m
Never arriving       Never arriving   Never arriving
