Touriste WHAT ARE WE
=====================
I bought this single as soon as I heard it. This is a beautifully written but
relatively simple song to play (though the electric guitar part is a tad more complex).
It's basically the same chords as Coldplay's "Yellow" and if I'm not mistaken,
the top E
is tuned down to Eb.

VERSE 1
B G#m
The sky was getting darker, the weather made it harder
F# E
To make sense of the sounds that you made
B
But you stopped the road from taking me
G#m
When you had the chance to leave it be
F# E
Looking into my eyes you said let's turn this all around
CHORUS
G#m F#
Why are we still standing here
E
Waiting for your head to clear
G#m F#
Why are we still standing here
E
Waiting for your head to clear
BRIDGE

VERSE 2
B G#m
Would a smile take it further? I tried it felt like murder
F# E
To be myself is all that I can be
B
Cold or alone I have to choose
G#m
When the past is all that's keeping you
F# E
From sleeping by yourself without a single plan
CHORUS
G#m F#
Why are we still standing here
E
Waiting for your head to clear
G#m F#
Why are we still standing here
E
Waiting for your head to clear

Why are we still standing here

Why are we still standing here

What are we, I said what are we, I said

What are we, what are we
