G Am 

                                  G 
and that's when the shadow came  
                                  Am 
and darkened your china face  
                                G 
the dancers still shook and swayed  
                         Am 
but i couldn't look away  
  
                                  G 
they were all in their chemicals  
                                    Am 
a hundred cars up an icy hill  
                                   G 
and we were stood under them  
                          Am 
grim and quietly grimacing  

                                              Bm 
and you spoke with that voice i love  
                                       Am 
and love awoke in my boiling blood  
                             Bm 
where death sat a sec before  
                         Am 
the road is lit and i'm going home 

                     Bm 
there'll be no caving in  
                            Am 
no suicide note, no pills and gin  
                 Bm 
i'll hear your voice again  
                       C 
and it stirs me like a pealing bell  
                   Bm 
echoed by everything, everywhere  
                     C 
by every fraught fibre, and every cell  
hear em telling you:  

                G 
you're not the only one  
         Cm 
you're not the only one  
            G 
you're not the only one  
           Cm 
you're not the only one  
              Am 
feeling this stuff  
                           G Am 
you're one of us  

G Am 
G Am 

                        G 
and that's when the shadow lifts  
                  Am 
and the camera reveals her lips  
               G 
and all the lava under your skin  
             Am 
you gotta always remember it  

               Bm 
and try not to talk at all  
                    Am 
and say all of that common stuff  
                     Bm 
no just let the lava come  
                     Am 
and all the love you've been holding off  

             Bm 
yeah that's when we're rising up  
             C 
feel the elevator pull your guts  
D 
each floor is like the medicine drops  
Em                          C 
the only fear is the fear it'll stop  




           G 
but it won't because  
         Cm 
but it won't because  
          G 
but it won't because  
         Cm 
no it never stops 
        Em  
no it never stops  
        Cm 
but it won't because  
        Am 
cause it's in your blood  
      G 
you're one of us  

G Am 

             G 
yeah that's when we're rising up  
           Am 
out of the ashes and plastic cups  
           G 
arm in arm on a dirty rug  
           Am 
where they're all dancing to jungle love  

           G 
i don't care if a shadow comes  
           Am 
and covers us like a shovel of rocks  
             G 
the party's still going on  
            Am 
and i heard cathedral bells
