Capo 4th fret [Intro] Em Em Em [Verse 1] Em He could fall and she can weep Em But as holy are my feet and hard with mention Em That dear they may not speak Em We feel tight when there is tension Em And our eyes can make us weak [Interlude] Em Em Em [Verse 2] Em And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become Em And his soul seldom higher with the falsities of fun Em Could embrace sweet desires and moments as they passed Em But he feared it ever more, when he saw it didn't last [Interlude] Em Em Em [Verse 3] Em We walk up Holland Avenue Em And watch the rich as they consume Em Their product made our hearts exhume an emptiness unrivaled by Em A hunger that I could control, he'd pray up to his God Em That he might save their soul [Verse 4] Em The grey in this city is too much to bear Em The grey in this city is too much to bear Em And I believe we are meant to be seen and not to be understood [Interlude] Em Em Em [Verse 5] Em And I want to be held by those arms Em I want to be held by those arms [Interlude] Em Em Em [Verse 6] Em You'll work your thumbs they are sore Em And you'll work my heart till it's raw Em And you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told Em And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall Em And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall [Interlude] Bm G A E A E A E A E [Outro] A E We are basic light A E We are basic light A E A E A E A E
He could fall and she can weep
But as holy are my feet and hard with mention
That dear they may not speak
We feel tight when there is tension
And our eyes can make us weak
And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become
And his soul seldom higher with the falsities of fun
Could embrace sweet desires and moments as they passed
But he feared it ever more, when he saw it didn't last
We walk up Holland Avenue
And watch the rich as they consume
Their product made our hearts exhume an emptiness unrivalled by
A hunger that I could control, he'd pray up to his God
That he might save their soul
The grey in this city is too much to bare
The grey in this city is too much to bare
And I believe we are meant to be seen and not to be understood
And I want to be held by those arms
I want to be held by those arms
You'll work your thumbs they are sore
And you'll work my heart till it's raw
And you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told
And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
We are basic lives
We are basic lives
