Verse 1
(G major) I spent the dark half of my lifetime
praying to (D major) a record player
(G major) In (E minor) those psychedelic hymns we
made the violence disappear
Mother
Mary (C major) came to kiss (G major) me in (C major) the beats of
Aphex
(G major) Twin
(C major) Brian
(A minor) Wilson to help me hear that
perfect harmony within
And at (G major) 16 years,
my home was burning to the ocean floor
So (E minor) I jumped into a lifeboat
and I headed for the shore
And (C major) I nearly (G major) drowned so many
times in life I can rejoice
(C major) And I wrote (A minor) 1 ,000 shitty songs
while searching for my voice
But (G major) I finally got discovered by
the guy that signed the
Smiths
And (E minor) he flew me out to
London cause he thought he heard a hit
And he (C major) took me to the presid (C minor) ent of
Warner
Brothers
Record (C major) s
And I (A minor) sang with demons in my ears that
heckled and dismissed me
With those hell (G major) hounds at my heels
Yeah, (E minor) those hellhounds
snappin' at my heels
Those (C major) hellhounds snappin' at my heels
I (A minor) signed myself a deal
A (C major) (G major) foot in (C major) the rain
What I found was much more
beautiful than I can say
(G major) In that darkness (C major) I looked
(G major) down on my (A minor) discoveries
Like (C major) a big new bird over (G major) the highway
I had this dream that I got high with
Jarvis
Cocker on a table
And be (E minor) side me at the bar was
PJ
Harvey in a halo
(C major) But I couldn't get the nerve
to speak to them
Cause (C minor) in my (C major) head I still (A minor) felt
like common people
So I wrote a song,
instead I spent some (G major) hours
With a dark -skinned working
girl from (D major) southern
Spain
And (E minor) I cried inside her red -lit room
but never got her name
Cause (C major) I felt I was a failure
in my dark narcotic haze
So I slept (A minor) with my confusion
in a youth hostel for days
And then (C major) one morning,
I (G major) saw a light on the canal
Yeah, one (E minor) morning,
I saw a light on the canal
One (C major) morning, I saw a light on the canal
Life (A minor) can get so fucked up,
but it's still so beauti (C major) ful somehow
We (G major) give away what (C major) we find
It's much more beautiful than I (G major) can say
In that darkness,
I let down all my (A minor) discoveries
Like (C major) a big blue bird over the (G major) highway
I met my best friend in
Archer
In the line for
Flaming
Lips
That (C major) was the night when (C major) I awoke
And felt the music in (C major) my hips
There was this little (D major) boy
That healed his father
From a mortal wound
And in (A minor) regret
Wished I could have done that
For my father too
And with a (G major) gong my heart exploded
like a cherry bomb all my sins
An (C major) d I felt my (E minor) self disintegrate
and be reborn again
In a (G major) yellow bloody (C major) raincoat
with a drum beat in my chest
I confessed (A minor) that I was scared
but I still stood up and (C major) said yes
We'll (C major) fly away
And what we find is much
more beautiful than I (G major) can say
In that darkness I'll look down
on my discover (A minor) ies
Like a big (C major) blue bird over the high (G major) way
We'll throw it all away
(C major) What we find is much more meaningful
than we (G major) can ever say
In that darkness I'll look down
on my discover (A minor) ies
Like a (C major) big blue bird over the high (G major) way
Like a big (A minor) blue bird
Over (C major) the high (G major) way
