Biography:
When songwriter and producer Sam Genders last donned his Diagrams hat, captive listeners found themselves truly stunned by the Streatham Hill artist’s imaginative and inventive arrangements that made up 2012's debut album Black Light.

[Intro]
A# Gm A Dm
A# Gm A Dm
[verse 1]
A# Gm
The patter of breaking glass
A Dm A#
invades like gentle rain and a dog
Gm
barks somewhere in Gleadless
A Dm
i'm in a safe yet frightening dream again
A# Gm
and the night is an endless place
A Dm
but it ends so sweetly at your face
B Gm
this bed is made of energy
A Dm
it's the strangest kingdom where we sleep
[pre-chorus 1]
A# C Dm A#
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
Dm C
not like when we were young
A# C Dm A
the kids are asleep while the kids in the park
A
are happy burning cars
[chorus 1]
A# Gm
and i hear the gentle morning song
A Dm
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
A# Gm
like a litany recited for me
A Dm
in the dark aisles of our street
A# Gm Dm A
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
A# Gm Dm A
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
[verse 2]
A# Gm A
the patter of tiny feet could it be
Dm A#
the final straw we've thrown on the back
Gm
of the camel of our youth
A Dm
long in the teeth, will i still long for you
A#
because life is an endless place
C Dm
or at least it sometimes seems that way
A# C
will we die wearing perplexed faces
Dm A#
books of words still left to say
[pre-chorus 2]
A# C Dm A#
the world isn't waiting for us anymore
Dm C
not like when we were young
A# C Dm A
the world isn't waiting for us but it whispers softly through the door
[chorus 2]
A# Gm
i hear the gentle morning song
A Dm
like a quiet reflection of my soul
B Gm
i sang that song back when i was young
A# Gm
and the virgin earth stretched on and on
A# Gm
and i hear the gentle morning song
A Dm
of the drunken girls and the sweeetling thugs
A# Gm
like a litany recited for me
A Dm
in the dark church of our street
A# Gm Dm A
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
A# Gm Dm A
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
A# Gm Dm A
Uuuh uuuh uuuuhuuuhuuuhuuuu
