All These Things

Text File

I believe this matches the recording. Apologies if the lyrics aren't correct but I 
transcribed them by ear. 

The song is practically 4 chords the entire way through - listen to the song for timing.

Comments & corrections welcome.

INTRO
C G Dm F x2

VERSE 1
C G Dm F 
From every shadow they are things that follow you
From your late night dead end job from the old neighborhoods where you grew
There's a falling satellite (The thought keeps me awake at night)
There's a chocolate fondue (There's no nutritional value)
There's a ground invasion (with complete colour co-ordination)
There's a sleepover screen (A bed is not a trampoline)
There's a hymn with a hand on the heart

C G Dm F
And all these things will follow you
C G Dm F C G Dm F
And all these things will follow you

C G Dm F C
C G Dm F x4

VERSE 2
C G Dm F
Staying locked inside all day is no big deal
But I'm yet to read a travel brochure that could change the way I feel
It's suffocating in the car (It's just the way some families are)
It's a book you'll get around to read (It's a pet that you forgot to feed)
It's an ex-boyfriend you can't forget (a godparent you never met)

BRIDGE
C G F G
It's the fear that began if one single Elvis fan
C G F G F G F G
Could be wrong the other forty nine odd million screaming others also can, aaah

CHORUS
C G Dm F
And those things will follow you
And those things will follow you
C G F
And the lights will shine right through
C G Dm F 
So when you open up your eyes they will know you when you do

BREAK
G Am
C G Dm F x4

VERSE 3
C G Dm F
Did you steal my pen I left it here? (You mean the one behind you ear?)
You're just a piece of work that's all (Take me and hang me on the wall)
Away from where the guards linger (You touched the painting with your finger)
And I was placed under gallery arrest (It's a chance to wear your Sunday best)

BRIDGE
C G F G
And look sharp on the stand and raise my right shaking hand
C G F G F G F G
And swear everything I say is true on first edition copy of Peter Pan, aaah

CHORUS x2

OUTRO
C G Dm F 
When you open up your eyes they will know you when they do
When you open up your eyes everyone will know it's you.
