Against The Grain

	  		
INTRO: F#maj7   B   F#   F# (2x) 



 VERSE 1:
 
         F#maj7         B     F#         F# 
  I have tried but it's hard to fight it 
               F#maj7      B    F#         F# 
  I can't just watch as it falls apart 
              F#maj7     B          F#           F# 
  If we could break the mould, make it in from the cold 
            F#maj7      B       F#         F# 
  Lose your mind, never lose your heart 



 PRE-CHORUS 1:
 
           Eb 
  I don't mind working hard for it 
                 F# 
  I'll bend the hands 'til the space appears 
                 Eb 
  I'll move the pieces until we all fit 
               F#                  Abm11      F#/Bb 
  From near to far and from far to near 



 
        Bsus2                             F# 
  And I know that I'm going against the grain 
        Abm11     F#/Bb    Bsus2 
  And I know this makes no sense 
        Bsus2               F#         Abm11   F#/Bb    Bsus2 
  The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ   ence 
        Bsus2                F#                     Eb 
  But I know that I'll try again, although it's so hard 
   F#   Bsus2 
  Hard, hard

 VERSE 2: 
        F#maj7     B     F#         F# 
  Given time it'll finally focus 
           F#maj7        B      F#         F# 
  And in a moment that's been and gone 
             F#maj7             B        F#           F# 
  And in the afterglow, from my head to my soul 
        F#maj7    B    F#         F# 
  I can see all I have ignored 



 PRE-CHORUS 2:
 
               Eb 
  And I don't mind working hard for it 
                 F# 
  I'll bend the hands 'til the space appears 
                 Eb 
  I'll move the pieces until we all fit 
               F#                  Abm11      F#/Bb 
  From near to far and from far to near 



 
        Bsus2                             F# 
  And I know that I'm going against the grain 
        Abm11     F#/Bb    Bsus2 
  And I know this makes no sense 
        Bsus2               F#         Abm11   F#/Bb    Bsus2 
  The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ   ence

   F#   Bsus2 
  Hard, hard

  If life's so short then we're wasting time

  Love is the last thing on our minds 
  C#7/Ab        F#add9          C#/F       C#/F 
  It's so simple but so hard to see 
      C#sus4       Ebm7 
  And you are not alone in this

  Sense of loss and loneliness 
  C#7/Ab               F#add9          C#/F       C#/F 
  Take your shoes off, run towards the sea
