Chords

[Intro] G D Em Em [Verse 1]
Em
  You put your hand up, you make your bid

Em
  You got your pictures all laid out in the grid

Em
  Look in the garden in the surface ground

Em
  Buried everything that you never want found
[Chorus]
        G          D
And the court will rise

                      Em
While the pillars all fall
[Verse 2]
Em
  We got the healer and the birthday cake

Em
  We got the real thing and we got the fake

Em
  You got the ladder but where is the snake?

Em
  How my body begins to wake
[Chorus]
        G          D
And the court will rise

                      Em
While the pillars all fall
[Verse 3]
Em
  You got the money goin' up your nose

Em
  You got the data, don't control where it goes

Em
  But you have left it getting down to the bone

Em
  You’ve all your memories on your mobile phone
[Chorus]
        G          D
And the court will rise

                      Em
While the pillars all fall
[Bridge]
G            Bm
 Out of this sentence

Bm                 F#
  The ball and the claw

G                 Bm
 And all these pronouncements

      Bm                   F#
I can make up the voice of law

G           Bm
 Out in the market

        Bm           F#
All our lives are on sale

        G                  Bm
And the balls are drifting further apart

  F#                F# F#m
Recovery cannot fail
[Verse 5]
        Em
Got the things you need and they’re all in place

        Em
Got the big shot barrister to keep my case

       Em
Got my baby throwin’ up on a chocolate milk

    Em
The black cat judge reaches for his silk
[Chorus]
        G          D
And the court will rise

                      Em
While the pillars all fall
[Verse 6]
Em
  We lost the line between the good and bad

Em
  We lost the line between the sane and the mad

Em
  Used to draw the line across the writing pad

Em
  The line of conscience that we never have had
[Chorus]
        G          D
And the court will rise

                      Em
While the pillars all fall
[Instrumental] Em D A G Em D A Em D A G Em D A Em D A G Em D A [Outro]
Em            D
  So many are reaching for it

A                 G
 So many reaching out for it

Em              D             A
 (You know that justice is blind)

Em            D
  So many are reaching for it

A                 G
 So many reaching out for it

Em              D             A
 (You know that justice is blind)

Em                D
  So many looking out for it

A                G
 So many looking out for it

Em              D             A
 (You know that justice is blind)
