Chords for Will Varley - 'When She Wakes Up' (official video)

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Circles made of silver _ [Dm] reflecting sounds [A] of rain _
_ Lights flicker across the water _ like [D] dreams across [A] our brain _
_ There's trouble in the [Em] distance [A] _
between a full moon and a storm
_ Light takes no prisoners _ _ [D] when the [A] darkness comes _
_ And though you notice [Em] nothing, [A] _ _ _ [D] still you cannot [A] decide
_ _ Whether to keep [Em] on looking [A] _ [D] or lie down [A] and die
_ [Am] So when she [A] wakes up, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am]
won't you [A] please tell her _ _
_ That I had the answer _
Down _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
by the [Em] casino, [A] _ [Dm] they're still fighting over [A] time
And their shouts drift up to the window _ [D] like birdsong in [A] her mind
Now they start throwing [G] punches, _ [D] a dear [A] sadness in their blood
_ For they both know on a different evening, _ _ [D] they could [A] fall in love
_ _ There's pools of blood [G] on the pavement, _ [A] and it's dripping through the cracks _ _
Back into [G] the soil [A] to our destiny of dust
_ [Am] So when she [A] wakes up, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] won't you please [D] tell her
_ _ That the birds were singing softly [A] at her window _
There's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ rats beneath the _ _ floorboards, and [E] parasites [A] on your skin
_ They're chewing on [Em] your inner [A] thoughts and nesting upon your sin
_ _ And the old man who lives next door seems to know something you _ don't
First the wallpaper [Em] was peeling, [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] now there's smoke
_ _ There's a fire raging out [G] in the hallway, and [A] you're supposed to run away
_ But that old man's [G] slowly walking _ [A] _ _ back towards the plane
_ _ _ [Am] So when she wakes up, _ _ _ _ _ _ won't you please [D] tell her
_ _ I [A] thought there was something in there that we needed
_ The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ revolution that you've been waiting [G] for happened [D] without you some years [A] _ ago
And the things that you've been [Em] saving for [A] will only make you feel more alone
_ _ These shaking _ [G] televisions, _ [A] all the notes play out of tune
_ These dark and twisted visions, _ _ _ explosions in the afternoon
We _ know everything about our future, _ we know nothing about our past
These fires will keep [G] on burning, and nothing we make [Am] will last
_ _ So when she [A] wakes up, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] won't you [A] please tell her
That there was peace, and we were the good who were fighting off the evil _
Where _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ the rain still [G] hits the window, _ the morning's making its [A] kill
And that sunshine runs its weary tongue _ along my windowsill
_ _ This platform was built on a sand, _ but our headsets are well designed
We still stare out of [G] our chambers like we're kings [A] of ancient time _ _ _ _ _
_ My eyes are tired from seeing, [D] my head is [A] tired of thoughts
What else is there [G] worth saving, [Dm] what else can not [Am] be bought
_ So when she [D] wakes up, _ _ _ _ _ [Am]
won't you please tell her
[D] That _ _ [A] _ this is the life that we are supposed to be living _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
