The Build Up

• Am

CAPO 4

Verse: 

Am  
   Went from cities to touch the suburbs 
F                 Dm   
   On the highway,   but I'm barefoot 
Am 
   I need a map but not the destination 
F                      Dm 
   Need a compass, but not a conversation 
Am                                        F 
   I want to run far from this grey town  
                           Dm 
   You're on every street, marked on the ground 
Am 
   Not the meant and not the paint   F 
                     Dm 
   Want the price but  not the raise 
  

Am  
   I want the jump but not the height 
F                    Dm 
   Let me fall but catch me mid flight 
Am  
   I swam with sharks and beasts of the sea   F 
                                Dm 
   Only went down for the company 
                           Am    F 
   Went down for the company 
  Dm 
   I forgot to mention 
  

                              
C    
   That you would come back home when I call 
G  
   Left no sign, nothing at all 
Am 
   Sorry you won't fit inside my heart 
F                     Dm 
   I wanted love without the build up 
  
Verse:  

Am                                            F 
   I need the rules but not the regulations 
                       Dm 
   Want the wisdom but not the information 
Am                                             F 
   Need the light but not the heat of the day 
                       Dm 
   Need your hands to show me how to pray   

  
Am                                         F 
    I lost the plot underneath the fire      
                        Dm 
    Of all the dots and lines that took me higher 
Am                                          F 
    Away from traffic and smiles of tire    
                          Dm 
    I like the nights but not the tangled wires 
  

Am                                   F 
    Need the pulse to feel alive         
                        Dm 
    All the world's just made it seem all quiet 

Am                                     F 
    This has all become far too loud     
                            Dm 
   I like you more when you don't make a sound 
  

C 
   You will come back home when I call 

G   
   Left no sign, nothing at all 

Am  
   Sorry you won't fit inside my heart 
              F                      Dm                   
   Won't you come light the way and wash this away 

Am      
   F              Dm                Am 
   I wanted love without the build up
