Em D G
Oh, deliver me
[Verse 1]
G C
I saw images of God
Em
Reflected out upon the deep
D
By prehistoric stars
G
Through millennia of grief
C
Spiritless and haunted
Em
Like some excarnate beast
D
Still I feel the ancient lights of heaven
G
Pressing down on me
[Chorus]
C Em
And the day changes at Midnight
D
But you don’t know it
G
Until the morning light
C Em
And the footsteps of the midwife
D
Are already in motion
And in motion we sing
G C
Whoah, deliver me
Em D G
Oh, deliver me yeah
C
The sun is leaning on the darkness again
And we sing
Em D G
Oh, deliver me
[Verse 2]
G
We traded souls
C
On the shoals of Babylon
Em
When they bought yours down to the floor
D
Man, I was sure that mine was gone
G
Everything inside me
C
Wanted somewhere to belong
Em
But something deep inside my body screamed
D
That all of this was wrong
[Chorus]
G C Em
And the day changes at Midnight
D
Still you don’t know it
G
Until the morning light
C Em
And the footsteps of the midwife
D
Are already in motion
And in motion we sing
G C
Whoah, deliver me
Em D
Oh, deliver me
G C
Whoah, deliver me
Em D
Oh, deliver me
[Bridge]
(don’t you know that)
G
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
C
All my grieving, All my believing
Em
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
D
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
G
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
C
All my grieving, All my believing
Em
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
D
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
G C
The sun is leaning on the darkness again
And we sing
Em D G
Oh, deliver me
[Verse 3]
G C
Every human creature is a galaxy of thought
Em
You could spend your life on one
D G
And it wouldn’t be for not
G
Do you look at many people
C
But you see so very few
Em
From the disenchanted distance
D
It's what desperate people do
Yeah but…
[Bridge]
(don’t you know that)
G
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
C
All my grieving, All my believing
Em
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
D
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
[Chorus]
G C Em
And the day changes at Midnight
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
(All my grieving, All my believing )
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
D
Still you don’t know it
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
G
For another six hours
C Em
And the footsteps of the midwife
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
(All my grieving, All my believing )
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
D
Are already in motion
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
And in motion we sing
G C
Whoah, deliver me
Em D G
Oh, deliver me, yeah
C
The sun is leaning on the darkness again
And we sing
Em D G
Oh, deliver me
