"History" by The Verve
Taken from the album A Northern Soul
Intro: G-D6-Asus4-E - x2
Verse 1
-------
G D
I wander the lonely streets...
Asus4 E E7
Behind where the old Thames does flow.
G D
And in every face I meet...
A E E7
Reminds me of what I have run for.
Bridge
------
Am
In every man, in every hand,
Em
In every kiss you understand,
C
That living is for other men,
D
I hope you too understand...
Verse 2
-------
G D
I've got to tell you my tale...
Asus4 E E7
Of how I loved and how I failed...
G D
I hope you understand?
A E E7
These feelings should not be in the man.
Bridge
------
Am
In every child, in every eye,
Em
In every sky above my head...
C
I hope that I know,
D
So come with me in bed.
Chorus
------
Am
Because its you and me we're history
Em
There ain't nothing left to say
C D
When I...will get you alone...
Verse 3
-------
G D
Maybe we could find a room?
A E
Where we could see what we should do...
G D
Maybe you know its true?
A E E7
Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.
Bridge
------
Am
In every man, in every hand,
Em
In every kiss you understand,
C
That living is for other men,
D
I hope you know that I am me...
Chorus (Reprise)
----------------
Am Em
So come on, I'm thinking about history,
C
And I'm living for history,
D
And I think you know I'm bound for you,
Cause I am...
Bridge (Reprise)
----------------
Am Em
And one and one is two, but three is company
C
When you're thinking about the things you do,
D
And you're thinking about the things you do...
Verse 4
-------
G D
I wanna tell you my tale...
A E
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail...
G D
Do you understand?
A E
There's more in a smile that in a hand.
Bridge
------
Am
In every sky, in every kiss
Em
There's one thing that you've might have missed
C D
Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you?
Chorus
------
Am
But you and me, and so am I
Em
Lets make it up
C
Lets even try to live today, so why not smile?
D
Don't dream away your life...
Middle 8
--------
Am7
Cause it is mine...
Em
It is mine...
C
Is that a crime?
D
Is that a crime?
Am Em
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made,
C D
Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
Am Em
Oh, the bed ain't made,
C D
But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
