[Intro]
Bm A Em G x3
[Verse 1]
Bm A
So you never knew love
Em G
Until you crossed the line of grace.
Bm A
And you never felt wanted
Em G
Till you'd someone slap your face.
Bm A
So you never felt alive
Em G
Until you'd almost wasted away.
[Pre-chorus 1]
Bm A
You had to win, you couldn't just pass
Em G
The smartest ass at the top of the class
Bm A
Your flying colours, your family tree
Em G
And all your lessons in history.
[Chorus]
Bm A Em
Please, please, please
G
Get up off your knees.
Bm A Em G
Please, please, please, please, oh yeah
[Interlude]
Bm A Em G
[Verse 2]
Bm A Em
So you never knew how low you'd stoop
G
To make that call
Bm A Em
And you never knew what was on the ground
G
Till they made you crawl.
Bm A Em
So you never knew that the heaven
G
You keep you stole.
[Pre-chorus 2]
Bm A
Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes,
Em G
Your stick-on tattoos now they're making the news
Bm A
Your holy war, your northern star
Em G
Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car.
[Chorus]
Bm A Em
Please, please, please
G
Get up off your knees
Bm A Em
Please, please, please
G
Leave me out of this, please.
[Chorus 2]
Bm A
So love is hard
Em G
And love is tough
Bm A
But love is not
Em G
What you're thinking of.
[Bridge]
Bm A
September, streets capsizing
Em G
Spilling over down the drains
Bm A
Shard of glass, splinters like rain
Em G
But you could only feel your own pain.
Bm A
October, talk getting nowhere.
Em G A
November, December; remember
Em
We just started again.
[Chorus]
Bm A Em
Please, please, please
G
Get up off your knees, yeah.
Bm A Em G
Please, please, please, please, ah.
[Chorus 2]
Bm A
So love is big
Em G
Is bigger than us.
Bm A
But love is not
Em G
What you're thinking of.
Bm
It's what lovers deal
A
It's what lovers steal you know I've found it
Em G
Hard to receive
Bm A
'Cause you, my love
Em Bm
