Mathematics

C                                 
Meet me on the corner by the fire 
                      G
escape and I’ll be waiting
C                                 
Every inch of back roads that have
                      G
 put me here will disappear
Em      A               C
And I’d hold you in my arms
Am      Bm      C       D      
Cold mathematics making its 
         G
move on me now


Peacocks on the chopping block and 
in the docks, my hopes are burning
Continues after the ad
Beautiful and trivial and baby just 
out of reach
So hear the unforgiven sounds
Of cold mathematics making its move 
on me now


Towards the stars - the great 
silence
The only place I have left to go
And I’d hold you in my arms
Cold mathematics making its move on 
me now

It’s funny how I always seem to 
alienate the people that I'm
Trying to impress, one day I will 
learn to shine
To the unforgiven sounds
Of cold mathematics making its move 
on me now

And I’d hold you in my arms
Cold mathematics making its move on 
me now

Cold mathematics making its move
Cold mathematics making its move
Cold mathematics making its move
