Bm                           A  D
Things were all good yesterday 
                                 A  G
And then the devil took your memory 
                          D      G
And if you fell to your death today, 
                                    Bm
I hope that heaven is your resting place 

Bm                                    A  D
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain
                                   A G 
then that could've been the medicine
                                  A 
And now you're lying in the bed again
A
Either way I'll cry with the rest of them




Pre-chorus

G      D         Bm
And my father told me son
D
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
G         D            Bm
And you're not the only one
            G       D            A
Although my grandma used to say, he used to see

Chorus 

Bm                   G
Darling hold me in arms the way you did last night
Em            A
And your life inside, a little while with you more 
Bm                     G
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up 
Em                     A
And we're wrapped in light, in life and love

Bm                       G
Put your open lips on mine, slowly let them shut
Em                   A
for they're designed to be together 
Bm                      G
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
Em             A
And we'll set alight, we're afire love

D   Em    G   A




Verse

Bm                           A  D
Things were all good yesterday
                                      A  G
And then the devil took your breath away
                           D G
And now we're left here in pain 
                                       Bm
Black suit black tie standing in the rain

Bm                           A D 
And now my family is one again 
                                             A G
Stapled together with the strangers and a friend
                                           A
Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen 
A
Six years old I remember when 



Pre-chorus 

G      D         Bm
And my father told me son
D
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
G         D            Bm
And you're not the only one
            G       D            A
Although my grandma used to say, he used to see


Chorus

Bm                   G
Darling hold me in arms the way you did last night
Em            A
And your life inside, a little while with you more 
Bm                     G
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up 
Em                     A
And we're wrapped in light, in life and love

Bm                       G
Put your open lips on mine, slowly let them shut
Em                   A
for they're designed to be together 
Bm                      G
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
Em             A
And we'll set alight, we're afire love





Bm   G    Em   A

Bm                        G
My father, and all of my family 
                 Em                  A
rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
       Bm                     G
And my brother and all of my family 
                Em                   A
rise from their seats to sing hallelujah     x2
