These are the chords off the live BBC Introducing video (I think its in a
different key to the album version) but played without a capo, so the chord shapes
are different but sounds the same.
Verse 1
A F#m
6am you left me for the last time,
C#m D
on my doorstep blinking in the sunshine.
A F#m
Blamed and framed I'm frozen in the picture,
C#m D
hanging in the space you left inside me.
Bridge
Bm F#m
I climbed upstairs into the final scene,
A E7
waiting for the credits to appear
Chorus
E7 A D
for all the years that I've been starring (starring)
A D
starring in a film with you and leading (leading)
A F#m
leading with the star I knew but I'm waking up
C#m D E A
in along beam of light where the dust is dancing as the music fades.
Verse 2
On my way out for the very last time,
off my doorstep straight into the sunshine.
Walking west and following the coastline,
looking for a sea change.
Bridge 2
Bm F#m
Oh you led me here when the world began
A C#m
and the breakers shook the moonlit sand.
Bm F#m A E7
Saw your pale face shining through the spray and I was blown away,
Chorus again and then just combinations of these chords until the song ends.
I think it sounds about right, have fun!
