Neon Beyond

	  		


        E            A 
baby in the basket  
        E            A 
i saw you reaching out your hand  
        E            A 
you were grasping at the wind  
        E            A 
i knew exactly what you meant  

        E            A 
i was sitting on the last train it was dragging  
        E            A 
me home to all of that mess  
        E            A 
and pulled over the tracks  
        E            A 
sitting still felt more like falling back  

        E             B       A 
and out come the hands  
        E            B          A 
out comes the rug from underneath  
        E           B        A 
and everything seems so real  
         E          B              A 
til you're waking up here at the wheel  

     C#m   A   B          
after all you've given up  
                C#m   A   B          
every crumb they took from your tongue  
     C#m   A   B          
after all your bitter luck  
     C#m   A            E         B         A 
you're done. you're saying 'enough is enough'  

E            A 

        E            A 
i know it's a hard world  
        E            A 
we're given to cling to the easier path  
        E            A 
but this is a wrong turn  
        E            A 
feeling that fear is the only way past  

        E            A 
so do not be hemmed in  
        E            A 
do not by dollar, nor doctrine, nor snow, no  
        E            A 
don't think of small things  
        E            A 
turn your eye to the neon beyond  

    C#m   A   B          
after all you've given up  
                C#m   A   B          
every crumb they took from your tongue  
     C#m   A   B          
after all your bitter luck 
     C#m   A            E         B         A 
all your silently swallowing's done  
    C#m   A   B          
after all you've given up  
a    C#m   A   B          
ll your drowned and your runaway sons  
    C#m   A   B          
now you ought to be speaking up  
     C#m   A            E         B         A 
saying 'enough is enough' but is 'enough is enough’ enough? 

C#m 
find the sapling  
Abm 
sand it smooth  
C#m 
sharpen the stone edge  
Abm 
Feather the grooves  
A                    E                      B   A 
make it sure, make it true. before you let it loose  

C#m 
feel the moment  
Abm 
see the moves  
C#m 
calm and focused  
Abm 
as you notch the wood  
A                    E                      B   A 
you put everything in. then you let go of it  
A                    E                      B   A 
all that you did, just let go of it  
A                    E                      B   A 
yeah that's how it is, you let go of it  

A                  E    B   A 
we were looking back  
A                  E    B   A 
we were looking down  
A                  E    B   A 
but we're looking up  
A                  E    B   A 
we're looking out now!  
A                  E    B   A 
look at us! looking up! 

A                  E    B   A
