PERFECT SYMMETRY
KEANE
Album:PERFECT SYMMETRY
STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 3 (Scroll down for no-capo version)
INTRO: | - | | - | - |
VERSE:
I shake through the wreckage for signs of life
Scrolling through the paragraphs
Clicking through the photographs
I wish I could make sense of what we do
Burning down the capitals
The wisest of the animals
PRECHORUS:
Who are you?
What are you living for?
Tooth for tooth
Maybe we'll go one more
CHORUS:
This life
is lived in perfect symmetry
What I do
That will be done to me
VERSE:
Read page after page of analysis
Looking for the final score
We're no closer than we were before
PRE-CHORUS:
Who are you?
What are you fighting for?
Holy truth
Brother I choose this mortal....
CHORUS:
...life,
lived in perfect symmetry
What I do
That will be done to me
As the needle
slips into the run-out groove
Love
Maybe you'll feel it too
BRIDGE:
And maybe you'll find life is unkind
And over so soon
There is no golden gate
There's no heaven waiting for you
Oh boy, you oughta leave this town
Get out while you can
The meter's running down
The voices in the streets you love
Everything is better when you hear that shout
Woah!
Woah!
Woah!
CHOIR:
Spineless dreamers
Hide in churches
Pieces of, pieces of
Rush hour buses
Worn-out phrases
Mile after mile of just
Empty pages
Wrap yourself around me
Wrap yourself around me
As the needle
slips into the run-out groove
Maybe you'll feel it too
Maybe you'll feel it too
OUTRO (FADE WITH CHORUS CHORDS: C - C/B - G - Dm - F - Am - G)
Spineless dreamers (Maybe you'll feel it too)
Hide in churches (Maybe you'll feel it too)
Pieces of, pieces of
Rush hour buses
Worn-out phrases
Mile after mile of just
Empty pages
