Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Messiah ward

^CmI hope you're sitting comfortably I saved you the best seat in the house Right up in the front row The stars have been torn down The moon is locked away And the land is banked in frozen snow You are a force of nature, dear Your breath curls from your lips As the trees bend down their branches And touch you with their fingertips

They are ^Abbringing out the dead n^Abow ^G It's easy just to look ^Cmaway They are ^Abbringing out the dead n^Abow ^G It's been a strange, strange^Cm day

^CmWe could navigate out position by the stars But they've taken out the stars The stars have all gone I'm glad you've come along We could comprehend our condition by the moon But they've ordered the the moon not to shine Still, I 'm glad you've come along I was worried out of my mind

Cause, they keep ^Abbringing out the dead n^Abow ^G It's easy just to loo^Cmk away They're ^Abbringing out the dead ^{Ab G} And it's been a long, strang^Cme day

^CmYou can move up a little closer I will throw a blanket over We can weigh all the tears in one hand Against the laughter in the other We could be hanging around here for centuries Trying to make sense of this, my dear While the planets try to get organised Way above the stratosphere

But they ^Abbringing out the dead, ^Abnow ^G It's easy if we just walk a^Cmway Cause they keep ^Abbringing out the dead, ^Abnow ^G It's been a long^Cm, long day
