{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
[E]Lights go down, it's[D] dark The jungle is your [E]head,
Can't rule your heart a feeling's so much stronger than a thought
your eyes are wide and though your soul, it can't be bought
your mind can wander
{chorus}
[E]Hello he[D]llo (Hola!)
[G]I'm at a place called [A]Vertigo (Donde esta)
It's [E]everything I wish I [D]didn't know
Except [G]you give me [D]something I can [E]feel, feel
{verse}
The night is full of holes As bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold They twinkle as the Boys play rock and roll
They know they can't dance At least they know....
I can't stand the beat I'm asking for the cheque
The girl with crimson nails Has Jesus round her neck
Swinging to the music Swinging to the music / Oh oh oh oh
{chorus}
Hello hello / I'm at a place called Vertigo
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something I can feel, feel
[E]{ [D]~ [A] [E] Check mated [E] [D] [A] Shots fall ..[E]. [D] [A] shove me in [D]yeah~)
{Solo break w/basic riff x 4}
[D] [E] [D] [E] {repeat}
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
Just [G]give me what I want and [A]no-one gets hurt...
{chorus}
Hello hello (hola!) / We're at a place called Vertigo (Donde esta)
{sot}Lights go down and all I know is that / you give me something
[E] [D] [A] [D] {repeat}
I can feel your love teaching me ho-o-o-o-o-ow{eot}
Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel... kneel
{Basic riff} Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah / Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah ... Yeah {end on E}
2// MIRACLE DRUG
{section: Intro}
[D] [A] [Bm] [G] x2
{section: Verse i}
[D]I want to [A]trip inside your [Bm]head
Spend the [G]day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
{section: Verse ii}
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
{section: Prechorus}
[G]Freedom has a [A]scent
Like the [D]top of a new born [Em]baby's head
{section: Chorus}
[G]The songs are in your [A]eyes
I [D]see them when you [Em]smile
[G]I've seen enough, I'm not [A]giving up
On a [Bm]miracle drug
{section: Verse iii}
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
{section: Prechorus}
And time will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
{section: Chorus}
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle drug, a miracle drug
A miracle drug
{section: Bridge}
[Bm] [A] [G]
[Bm] Oh God,[A] I need your [G]help tonight
{section: Guitar solo}
use chorus chords
Last chorus lead-in:
[G]Beneath the noise
[A]Below the din
[D]I hear a voice
[Em]It's whispering
In science and in medicine
I was a stranger
You took me in
{section: Chorus}
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
[Bm]I'd give it up, yeah, I'd [Em]give it up
For a [G]miracle [A]drug, for a [Bm]miracle [Em]drug
[G] [A] [Bm] Hold [Bm] to finish
Miracle, miracle drug

I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
...} [D] [A] [G]
And it left me no illusion
{Verse riff}
I saw you in the curve of the moon / In the shadow cast across my room
You heard me in my tune / When I just heard confusion
{section: Chorus riff}

All because of you All because of you I am
{Verse riff}
I like the sound of my own voice / I didn't give anyone else a choice
An intellectual tortoise / Racing with your bullet train
Some people get squashed crossing the tracks
Some people got high rises on their backs
I'm not broke but you can see the cracks
You can make me perfect again

All because of you / All because of you / All because of you

[Bm] [A]
[G][F#m]
[Bm]Little sister [A]
[Bm]Don't you worry abou[A]t a[G] thing today
[F#m]Take the heat from the sun
[Bm]Little sister [A]
[Bm]I know that everything [A]is [G]not ok
[F#m]But you're like honey on my tongue
[Em]True love [G]never can be rent
[Bm]But only true love can keep [A]beauty innocent
[Gmaj7]I could never take [A]a chance
[G6]Of losing love to fin[A]d romance
[Gmaj7]In the mysterious dis[A]tance
[G6]Between a [F#]man and a woman
[Gmaj7]No I could never take [A]a chance
[G6]Cos I could never un[A]derstand
[Gmaj7]The mysterious dis[A]tance
[G6]Between a [F#]man and a woman
You can run from love
And if it's really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can't be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when I'm holding you?
I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
And you're the one, there's no-one else
That makes me wanna lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
[Em]Brown eyed girl across the street
[A]On rue Saint Divine
[Em]I thought this is the one for me
[A]But she was already mine
[G]You were already mine [F#m]
Little sister
Ive been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
Ive been trying to feel complete again
But you're gone and so is God
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants the soul waits
No I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
For love and faith and sex and fear
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
{section: Outro}
[Bm7]You'll see [A]
[Bm7]You'll see [A]
[D/A]
[Gmaj7]How can I hurt when Im [F#]holding you?

You were pretty as a picture / It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth / You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart thinking / every heart mends

{chorus}
You speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed / Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by

And you speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table {Verse riff until end}
