Chords for Kae Tempest - People's Faces (Audio)

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] It's coming to pass, _ my country's coming [G] apart, the whole thing's becoming such [C] a bumbling
farce.
Was that a pivotal historical moment we just went [G] stumbling past? _
[C] Well here we
are, dancing in the rumbling dark, so come a little closer, [G] give me something to grasp,
give [Em] me your beautiful crumbling _ heart.
Another disaster, [G] catharsis, another half discarded
[C] mirage, another mask slips.
I face off with the physical, [G] my head's ringing from the love
of [C] the stars.
_ _ There is too much potence here, _ [G] and too much depends on the [C] fragile wages
_ and extortionate rents here.
_ We're working [G] every dread day that is given us, [C] feeling
like the person people meet really isn't [G] us, like we're going to buckle underneath the
trouble like any minute now the [C] struggle's going to finish us.
_ And then we smile at [G] all
our friends. _ _
[C] It's hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up, our backs against the
wall, [G] I can feel you [C] aching.
None of this was written in stone, there is nothing we're
forbidden to know, [G] and I can feel things [Em] changing, even when I'm weak and I'm breaking I stand
weeping at the train station, cos [G] I can see your faces.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
There is so much peace to be found
in people's [Em] faces. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] I saw it roaring, _ I felt it [G] clawing at my clothes, I felt it in my
clothes like a grieving friend.
[C] _ It said there are no new beginnings, and so everybody sees
that the [G] old ways need to end, but [C] it's hard to accept that we're all one in the same flesh
given the rampant divisions between [G] oppressor and oppressed, but we [C] are though.
_ _ More empathy,
less greed, [G] _ more respect.
All I've [Em] got to say has already been said, I mean you heard
it from yourself when you were lying in [G] your bed and couldn't sleep thinking, [C] couldn't
we be doing this differently?
_ [G] I'm listening to every little whisper in the distance singing
[C] hymns _ and I can, _ I can feel things [G] changing, _ but [C] it's so hard.
We got our heads down and
our hackles up, our backs against the wall, I [G] can feel your heart racing.
[C] None of this
was written in stone, the current's fast but the river moves slow [G] and I can feel things
[Em] changing.
Even when I'm weak and I'm breaking I stand weeping at the train station cos [D] I
can [G] see your [C] faces.
_ _ _ _ _ _ There is so much peace to be found in people's faces.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ It's not enough
to imagine we'll be happy [G] when we've got enough stuff.
All this stuff is [C] blocking [G] us.
I'm neat with no chaser, I'm all spirit but I'm sinking because these [C] days are not days
but strange symptoms and this age is our [G] age, but our age is rage [C] sinking to phase and yes
our children are brave _ but their mission is [G] vague.
Now I don't [Em] have the answers but there
are still things to say.
I stare out at my city [G] on another difficult day and I [C] scream
inwardly, when will this change?
I'm beginning to fade [G] but my sanity's saved cos I [C] can see
your faces, my sanity's saved _ _ _ cos [G] I can see your faces.
[C] It's hard.
We got our heads down
and our hackles up, our backs against the wall, [G] I can feel your heart [C] racing.
None of
this was written in stone, the current's fast but the river moves slow [G] and I can feel things
[Em] changing.
Even when I'm weak and I'm breaking I stare weeping at the train station cos [G] I
can see your [C] faces. _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ I love people's faces. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
