[Intro]
Bm A Em G x3
[Verse 1]
Bm A So you never knew love Em G Until you crossed the line of grace. Bm A And you never felt wanted Em G Till you'd someone slap your face. Bm A So you never felt alive Em G Until you'd almost wasted away.
[Pre-chorus 1]
Bm A You had to win, you couldn't just pass Em G The smartest ass at the top of the class Bm A Your flying colours, your family tree Em G And all your lessons in history.
[Chorus]
Bm A Em Please, please, please G Get up off your knees. Bm A Em G Please, please, please, please, oh yeah
[Interlude]
Bm A Em G
[Verse 2]
Bm A Em So you never knew how low you'd stoop G To make that call Bm A Em And you never knew what was on the ground G Till they made you crawl. Bm A Em So you never knew that the heaven G You keep you stole.
[Pre-chorus 2]
Bm A Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes, Em G Your stick-on tattoos now they're making the news Bm A Your holy war, your northern star Em G Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car.
[Chorus]
Bm A Em Please, please, please G Get up off your knees Bm A Em Please, please, please G Leave me out of this, please.
[Chorus 2]
Bm A So love is hard Em G And love is tough Bm A But love is not Em G What you're thinking of.
[Bridge]
Bm A September, streets capsizing Em G Spilling over down the drains Bm A Shard of glass, splinters like rain Em G But you could only feel your own pain. Bm A October, talk getting nowhere. Em G A November, December; remember Em We just started again.
[Chorus]
Bm A Em Please, please, please G Get up off your knees, yeah. Bm A Em G Please, please, please, please, ah.
[Chorus 2]
Bm A So love is big Em G Is bigger than us. Bm A But love is not Em G What you're thinking of. Bm It's what lovers deal A It's what lovers steal you know I've found it Em G Hard to receive Bm A 'Cause you, my love Em Bm I could never believe.
