Lyrics:
It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

3. Winter Winds
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: stellafeller
(***Note: This song actually has no guitar, it is a Mandolin. You can play it with chords though!)
G D Em C
As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts
G D Em C
Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms
G D Em C
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?
G D Em C
For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt
C G
And my head told my heart
C G D
"Let love grow"
C G
But my heart told my head
C G D
"This time no this time no"
G D Em C
We'll be washed and buried one day my girl
G D Em C
And the time we were given will be left for the world
G D Em C
The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague
G D Em C
So let the memories be good for those who stay
C G
And my head told my heart
C G D
"Let love grow"
C G
But my heart told my head
C G D
"This time no"
C G
Yes, my heart told my head
C G D
"This time no
This time no"
G D Em C
Oh the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved
G D Em
Was the same that sent me into your arms
G D Em C
Oh and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone
G D Em
And no hope, no hope will overcome
G D Em C
And if your strife strikes at your sleep
G D Em C
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
G D Em C
You'll be happy and wholesome again
G D Em C
When the city clears and sun ascends
C G
And my head told my heart
C G D
"Let love grow"
C G
But my heart told my head
C G D
"This time no"
C G
And my head told my heart
C G D
"Let love grow"
C G
But my heart told my head
C G D
"This time no
This time no"

It seems that all my bridges have been burned
But you say 'That's exactly how this grace thing works
It's not the long walk home that will change this heart

And yet it dominates the things I see

You have neither reason nor rhyme

With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine

5. White Blank Page
Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 2
Tabbed By: freezedryfun
(***Note: This song is actually played with standard tuned guitar chords plus
the capo. Marcus, never learned guitar chords, only wrote and played by ear.
He has commented saying that, "if he needs help with chords or something like
that, he goes to fellow band member Ben Lovett")
Em [0 2 2 0 0 0]
C [0 3 2 0 1 0] Hammer on 0h2 on the D string in Verse.
G [3 2 0 0 0 3] Hammer on 0h2 on the A string in Verse.

Em C G C G
Can you lie next to her and give her your hea-rt, your hea-rt?
Em C G
As well as your body, and can you lie next to her and confess your lo-ve,
C G
your lo-ve?
Em
As well as your folly and can you kneel before the king and say ‘I’m

cle-an’, ‘I’m Cle-an’?
D/F# Em/B C D/F# D/F# Em/B C D/F#
But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?

But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?
Em C G C G
Her white blank page & a swelling ra-ge, ra-ge

You did not think when you sent me to the bri-nk, the bri-nk

You desired my attention but denied my affec-tions, affec-tions

D/F# Em/B C D/F#
Ahhh ah ah ahhh ah ahhhh ah ahhh
The Rest is played as the chorus. Work out the timing, it's quite difficult to fit
in with the lyrics:
Lead my to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Lead my to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Finally repeat Ahhhs

Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 5
Tabbed By: Ornj_Gremlin
(***Note: This song has yet to truly be tabbed by anyone in its' correct form.
The chords are right and they sound fine, but he plays it CAPO 5 in an
alternate tuning. This will have to do!)

Verse 2:

Tremble for yourself my man,

you know that you have seen this all before.
Am
Tremble little lion man,

you'll never settle any of your scores.

Your grace is wasted in your face,
F Fmaj7 C
your boldness stands alone among the wreck.
G
Learn from your mother or else
F Fmaj7 C
spend your days biting your own neck.
Chorus:
Am F C
But it was not your fault but mine,
Am F C
and it was your heart on the line.
Am F C
I really fucked it up this time,
G
didn't I, my dear?
