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