by David Gray


Verse: D major, A major

Chorus

 major,  minor,  major

G#-A for transition between D&A broken chords

              
Neath an avalanche
              
Soft as moss
              
I am a creeping and intangible sense of loss
              
I’m the memory you can’t get out your head
              
But if I leave you now
              
You’ll wish you were somewhere else instead
              
I’m the manta ray
              
I’m the louse
              
I am the photograph
              
They found in your burned out house
                          
I am the sound of money washing down the drain
              
I am the pack of lies
              
Baby that keeps you sane

Gates of heaven are open wide
                             	
God help me baby I’m trapped inside
                             
Feels like I’m buried alive
              
I’m the bottom line
              
Of the joke
              
I am ecstasy
              
Spilling like bright egg-yolk
              
I’m the thoughts you’re too ashamed to ever share
              
And I am the smell of it
              
You’re trying to wash out of your hair
 
Gates of heaven are open wide
                             
God help me baby I’m lost inside
                             
Feels like I’m buried alive

Possibilities limitless
                             
Just give me something that’s more than this
                             
One shot and I’ll never miss

Yes
              
I’m the babe that sleeps
              
Through the Blitz
              
I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
              
I am your one true love
              
Who sleeps with someone else
              
I am your nemesis
              
Baby I’m life sweet life itself
