I've tried to line up the chords as best as possible, as always, listen to the
song for best comparison. I'm sure this is right, then again, I have just spent an
hour I should've spent in bed working this out. I've actually worked out a lot of
the new album, will likely add them soon. The lyrics are makeshift, based on what
I could decipher, will update when the album comes out :D Enjoy! Sounds best
played on open chords!

[F] [E]
[F]Ve[G]rse
[Dm]Through the rain[A] and all the clatter
[F]Under the Fr[C]emont bri[G]dge I saw a pigeon fly
[Dm]Fly in fear fr[F]om the raptor c[C]ome to take its li[A]fe
[Dm]And as it closed [A]in for the capture
[F]I funn[C]elled the f[G]ear through my ancient eyes
[Dm]To see in flight[F], what I know are
The b[C]itter mechanics of li[A]fe
[F]Under my h[G]at it reads "the line[E]s are all imag[F]ined"
[F]A fact of li[G]fe I know to h[E]ide from my little g[Am]irls
[F]I know my pl[G]ace amongst the b[E]ugs and all the an[F]imals
[F]And it's from these ord[E]inary people
You are long[F]ing to be fre[G]e
[Dm]My hotel an[A]d on the TV
[F]A pre[C]acher on the[G] stage like a buzzard cries
[Dm]Our a warning o[F]f phony sorrow. He's tr[C]ying to get a ri[A]se.
[Dm]The cyanide [A]of an almond
[F]Let him l[C]ook at your ha[G]nds, get the angles right
[Dm]Ace of spades, Po[F]rt of Morrow, l[C]ife is death is lif[A]e.
[F]I saw a phot[G]ograph; Col[E]ogne in '[F]27
[F]And then a p[G]ostcard after the[E] bombs in[Am] '45
[F]Must have been a w[G]orld of evil c[E]lowns that let it ha[F]ppen
[F]But now I rec[E]ognise, dear listeners,
That you were t[F]here and so was [G]I
Instrumental break
[Dm] [F]
[Dm] [C] [A]
[Dm] [F] [C] [A]
(whole break x2)
[F]Under my h[G]at I know the li[E]nes are all im[F]agined
[F]A fact of li[G]fe I must impr[E]ess on my little gir[Am]ls
[F]I know my pl[G]ace amongst the c[E]reatures in the pa[F]geant
[F]And there are flo[E]wers in the garbage
And a sku[F]ll under your cu[G]rls

Repeat instrumental break until fade.
Note: I initially had the verse second part of the verse chords as
[Dm]Ace of spades, Po[A]rt of Morrow, l[C]ife is death is lif[A]e.
for example, with another A in place of the F. It sounded right to me, but I went
