Artist: Editors
Album: An End Has A Start (2007)
Tabbed by Piervincenzo Parisi aka Piervi
Intro: Em D/F# G Am G D/F# (2 times)
(same as intro)
When the time comes
That you're no longer here
Fall down to my knees
Begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I just can't keep'em all in
I keep up with the racing rats
(repeat intro)
And do my best to win
(same as intro)
Slow down little one
You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet
It's not your time to play
Standing on the edge of your town
With the skyline in your eyes
Reaching out to gods
Am G D/F# Em Bm
The sun says its goodbyes
C Bm Em Bm
If a plane were to fall from the sky
C Bm
How big a hole would it leave
Dsus4 D (repeat intro)
In the surface of the earth
(same as intro)
Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We live different lives
Until our covers blown
I push my hand up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Am G D/F# Em Bm
Suddenly nightime has begun
C Bm Em Bm
If a plane were to fall from the sky
C Bm
How big a hole would it leave
Dsus4 D
In the surface of the earth
Dsus4 D
The surface of the earth
Em C
Come on now
G D/F#
You knew you were lost
Em C G D/F#
But you carried on anyway
Em C
Oh come on now
G D/F#
You knew you had no time
Em C G D/F# Em Bm
But you let the day drift away
C Bm Em Bm
If a plane were to fall from the sky
C Bm Em Bm
How big a hole would it leave
C Bm Em Bm
If a plane were to fall from the sky
C Bm
How big a hole would it make
Dsus4 D
In the surface of the earth
Dsus4 D
The surface of the earth
Dsus4 D Em
The surface of the earth
