Neon Beyond

        E            A
baby in the basket
        E            A
i saw you reaching out your hand
        E            A
you were grasping at the wind
        E            A
i knew exactly what you meant

        E            A
i was sitting on the last train it was dragging
        E            A
me home to all of that mess
        E            A
and pulled over the tracks
        E            A
sitting still felt more like falling back

        E             B       A
and out come the hands
        E            B          A
out comes the rug from underneath
        E           B        A
and everything seems so real
         E          B              A
til you're waking up here at the wheel

     C#m   A   B
after all you've given up
                C#m   A   B
every crumb they took from your tongue
     C#m   A   B
after all your bitter luck
     C#m   A            E         B         A
you're done. you're saying 'enough is enough'

E            A

        E            A
i know it's a hard world
        E            A
we're given to cling to the easier path
        E            A
but this is a wrong turn
        E            A
feeling that fear is the only way past

        E            A
so do not be hemmed in
        E            A
do not by dollar, nor doctrine, nor snow, no
        E            A
don't think of small things
        E            A
turn your eye to the neon beyond

    C#m   A   B
after all you've given up
                C#m   A   B
every crumb they took from your tongue
     C#m   A   B
after all your bitter luck
     C#m   A            E         B         A
all your silently swallowing's done
    C#m   A   B
after all you've given up
a    C#m   A   B
ll your drowned and your runaway sons
    C#m   A   B
now you ought to be speaking up
     C#m   A            E         B         A
saying 'enough is enough' but is 'enough is enough’ enough?

C#m
find the sapling
Abm
sand it smooth
C#m
sharpen the stone edge
Abm
Feather the grooves
A                    E                      B   A
make it sure, make it true. before you let it loose

C#m
feel the moment
Abm
see the moves
C#m
calm and focused
Abm
as you notch the wood
A                    E                      B   A
you put everything in. then you let go of it
A                    E                      B   A
all that you did, just let go of it
A                    E                      B   A
yeah that's how it is, you let go of it

A                  E    B   A
we were looking back
A                  E    B   A
we were looking down
A                  E    B   A
but we're looking up
A                  E    B   A
we're looking out now!
A                  E    B   A
look at us! looking up!
