Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Messiah Ward: chords

Cm
I hope you're sitting comfortably
I saved you the best seat in the house
Right up in the front row
The stars have been torn down
The moon is locked away
And the land is banked in frozen snow
You are a force of nature, dear
Your breath curls from your lips
As the trees bend down their branches
And touch you with their fingertips

Chorus:
          G#                    G# G
They are bringing out the dead now
                        Cm
It's easy just to look away
          G#                    G# G
They are bringing out the dead now
                              Cm
It's been a strange, strange day

We could navigate out position by the stars
But they've taken out the stars
The stars have all gone
I'm glad you've come along
We could comprehend our
condition by the moon
But they've ordered the the moon not to shine
Still, I 'm glad you've come along
I was worried out of my mind

Chorus:
'Cause they keep bringin' out the dead now
And it's easy just to look away
They're bringin' out the dead
And it's been a long, strange day

You can move up a little closer
I will throw a blanket over
We can weigh all the tears in one hand
Against the laughter in the other
We could be hanging around here for centuries
Trying to make sense of this, my dear
While the planets try to get organised
Way above the stratosphere

Chorus:
But they keep bringin' out the dead, now
And it's easy if we just walk away
'Cause they keep bringin' out the dead, now
It's been a long, long day
