AmHave you ever been compCelled
Under a sGpell
From a protFagonist who knows you far too wAmell

Have you ever fell?
CAre you gonna tell me why
There's a bEmackpack by the bedroom window
DIt's a pack of lies
BmEverything has to reach a peak sometime
CTell me why

Capo 3

Am Am Bm C C G G F D Am

Intro: -

Am C

Have you ever been compelled

Under a spell

F Am

From a protagonist who knows you far too well

Am C

Have you ever been undone

By a slip of the tongue

F Am

and betrayed a side of you that felt hard won

So we watch the water swell

From a Scottish hotel

Have you ever fell?

Are you gonna tell me why

There's a backpack by the bedroom window

It's a pack of lies

Everything has to reach a peak sometime

Tell me why

There's a map lain flat on the bedside table

It's a pack of lies

It's not a peak, it's a plateau

Let me know

When you wanna leave this island

Let me know

G D Am

When you wanna hear my point of view

C C G G F F C

Am C

In the observation lounge

Couples ready to pounce

F Am

But there's a reticence from treading icy ground

Am C

So we watch the water swell

From a Scottish hotel

Have you ever fell?

Are you gonna tell me why

There's a backpack by the bedroom window

It's a pack of lies

Everything has to reach a peak sometime

Tell me why

There's a map lain flat on the bedside table

It's a pack of lies

It's not a peak, it's a plateau

Let me know

When you wanna leave this island

Let me know

G D Am

When you wanna hear my point of view

Let me know

When you wanna leave this island

Let me know

G D Am

When you wanna hear my point of view

G D Am

I'll stand up for you

G D Am

I'll stand up for you

G D Am

I'll stand up for you

G D Am

G D

Em C

I will act as a semaphore

D B

I will guide you to a perfect landing

Em C

I will act as a distant shore

D B Em

I will aim to be the last man standing for you

I will act as a semaphore

D G D Am

I will guide you to a perfect landing

G D Am

I'll stand up for you

G D Am

I'll stand up for you

G D Am

When you wanna leave this island

G D Am

When you wanna hear my point of view
