CAPO 7
You propCel yourself into the arms of GFod, and ChrGist and all the angels Amnow,
You're hDigh above the people wGho, you uEsed to call your equals
CI will stay behind and live this lFife, you lGeft me as a witness,
AmWho can tDidy up yor business, Gand record that someone lived here,
CIn the shade of Trelick Tower, iFn those dGays of living gently,
AmSomething hDoly used to love me, Gsomething hEoly used to touch me,
FThen he heard the voice I cEmouldn't hDmear, he's gGone to where it sent hCim,C2
And Amnow I'm praying for this pain to cDlear, he's wD7aiting on ascensGion.
And Amnow I'm praying but there's still no chDmange, you're hGigh as Trellick Tower,
Am D7 G G/Am
Throw your head and when you let me spend my life trying to climb you,
AmAnd praying 'til my knees dC6on't fDmold, praying 'til my hands Dsus4don't clAmose,
Praying 'til my fingDers glGow.
And you've propCelled yourself into the arms of GFod, and ChrGist and all the saints,
Now AmI've been Dwalking through our house like GseparaEtion made it sacred,
IF've been buried in the boEmoks you lDmeft, I tGreat them like they're ancCient,
C2And I think Amrelics ache for when the saint had Dbreath, they mD7iss the thing that changed thGem.
And IAm'm a relic and you're so, so hDmigh, you're hGigh as Trellick Tower,
ThAmrow your hD7ead and when you let me spGend my life trying to climb you,
AmAnd praying 'til my knees C6don't fDmold, praying 'til my hands Dsus4don't clAmose,
Praying 'til my finDgers glGow.
And Fin the shade of Trellick Tower, I sBbpent a while tryiCng to keep you,
DmTell all the peGople moving on, heCy, hey something hA7oly used to live here nBbow,
I'm a relic of a loAmve gone Gmby, kneCeling to address the sFky,
And IDm'll keep praying 'til the binds unBbtie, prayCing but I don't know wFhy,
And DmI'll keep praying 'til the binds unGtie, pG7raying but I don't know wChy,
Oh, IDm'll pray until the language dGies, praG7ying 'cos you're so, so hCigh,
Can I spend my lC2ife trying to climb Fyou?
