Splitting the Atom

       Gm
The baby was born

Nettles and Ferns

       Cm
The evening it chokes

The candle it burns

Gm
This disguise covers

Bitter lies

    D
Repeating the joke

       D7
The meaning it dies

Gm
Pass me a coat I'm not a-

'fraid to leave

     Cm
I'm letting you know

I know what you need

     Gm
I'll turn you around

This beautiful town

       D
And then you'll believe it when your

D7
eyes then deceive you

     Gm
Its easy, dont let it go

     Cm
Its easy, dont let it go

     Gm
Its easy, dont let it go

     D(7)
Don't Lose It

                 Gm
Its getting colder outside

Your rented space

        Cm
They shadow box and they

Paper chase

Gm
It never stops

And we'll never learn

     D
No hope without dope

       D7
The jobless return

       Gm
The bankers have bailed

The mighty retreat

       Cm
The pleasure it fails

At the end of the week

       Gm
You take it or leave

Or what you receive

     D
To what you receive

      D7
Is eternited leave

     Gm
Its easy, dont let it go

     Cm
Its easy, dont let it go

     Gm
Its easy, dont let it go

      D(7)
Don't lose it

Gm
Incandescent light at doors

   Cm
In adolescent menopause

   Gm
In little clicks you got the music stops

    D                     D7
The needle sticks and the penny drops

    Gm
The summer's gone before you know

    Cm
The muffled drums of relentless flow

       Gm
You're looking at stars that give you vertigo

    D                       D7
The sun's still burning and dust will blow

Gm
Honey scars I'll keep you near

    Cm
Our blood is gold nothing to fear

   Gm
We killed the time and I love you dear

  D                  D7
A kiss of wine we'll disappear

    Gm
The last of the last particles

  Cm
Divisible invisible

    Gm
The last of the last particles

  D         D7
Divisible invisible
