Chords for The Church - Block (Live on KEXP)

_ Yeah, we're going to do one more today for this radio show.
And this is a song about Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I was down in the city on a miracle street.
[Dm] I flailed like a swimmer through the summer heat.
I was waiting [G] for a friend that I [G] needed to meet.
And I [D] was hoping she was bringing me something sweet.
And [Bb] I was hoping for an open little opening.
And I suffer for a grueling little [Dm] happening.
But it's all going wrong just like a [D] sing-along song.
The song I wrote about you that they put on [Dm] TV.
[G] The TV that I gave you [Gm] because you wanted to see.
But all you saw was skates as bad as you used [D] to be.
[Bb] A hundred bastard boys with their pull on me.
In the valley of death, you'll be breathless [Dm] and free. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
How [Dm] you'll be dancing like a fool by the swirling sea.
_ Like a drunk in a pharmacy.
_ [D] Squatting at the flies in the pavilion.
_ Where the millionaire just blew a gazillion.
_ [Bb] The feeling is all familiar.
_ _ Traffic burns down to a standstill.
_ [D] The monopods are [Dm] pecking at the carry-on.
You read it already in Hopperion.
[G] You read about my trial in the clarion.
A sack full of ashes I've been carrying.
When [Bb] the lights turn green, patches on the screen.
When the lights turn red, I put this whole thing to [Bb] bed.
_ [D] Well, I got a fever.
_ _ And I'm [Dm] feeling fainted.
[G] _ _ I'm out in the sea.
[D] _ _ I'm a cold _ [Bb] painted.
If you could just hold still.
I will make you [A] all so beautiful.
[Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But then [Bb] the lights turn blue.
I know what to do.
I drown my tomorrows in an [E] ocean of sin.
And the [D] pretty little things with their magnets and rings.
[Dm] Moving like a flower through a series of springs.
[D] Thank you, faith.
The faith that she brings.
Thank you, Fortuna.
And the song that she sings.
[Bb] My big fat man in Manitou for letting me live.
I say thank you to my friends.
And the friends [Dm] that you're with. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] Thank you to the Lord who created all this.
There's a whole lot of hurt before you get to the place.
Why [Dm] even Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss.
But that was long before he got his show bit.
[D] Well, I understand [G] the line.
Landing on sea.
But when I try to walk. _
I'm [Bb] sinking in the sea. _ _ _
I'm sinking [Bb] in the sea. _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ Well, I got this fever.
_ _ And I'm feeling fainted.
_ _ [G] I'm a damn receiver.
[G] _ _ I'm a cold war painter.
[Bb] If you could just hold still.
I will make you all [Dm] so beautiful.
I will _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ make you all _ _ _ _ _ so _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ beautiful.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Thanks a lot.
We really enjoyed that.
See you later.
_ [B] _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
