Face on the News – Amelia Curran
Capo 4
Just a quick note: the "intro" part occurs pretty often throughout the song, pretty much whenever there's a
sustained "C" chord.  To do it you just add the 3rd fret of the fourth string for the "sus4" and the open
fourth string for the "add9".  Listen to the song for the rhythm.
Intro:   C    Csus4    C    Cadd9  C  
CI had a fEm/Bortress all prAmistine and blue
And the dFoorways were painted in Cred
And Ceach tiny winEm/Bdow refleAmctions of you
And the Fonly way out was my Chead
GCan you imagine my misunderstanding I Crelied on Em/Brelics and tFombs
And Cno one said nothing till Fwe saw your fGace on the nCews
CI can make Em/Bmountains where Amnothing there stands
And FI can make many Cado
CEvery stone is a Em/Bmissed alterAmcation
Still Fevery height is a Cview
GI’ve stood in protest thorns against roses I Cdon’t mind inEm/Btentions are Ftrue
And Cno one said nothing till Fwe saw your fGace on the Cnews
GI had it all figured out
I was right and they were wCrong
I Amlooked for the difference
AFnd I found the difference was DmgoneF  G  
COver the deEm/Bcades and beAmtween the lines
FNothing has left me aClone
CI know the tEm/Bime passes gAmrows up and trespasses
And wFe’ve all got fears of our Cown
GNo need to ration a source of compassion and Canything lEm/Bess I rFefuse
‘Cause Cno one said nothing till Fwe saw your fGace on the Cnews

I had a fortress all pristine and blue

Still every height is a view

I’ve stood in protest thorns against roses I don’t mind intentions are true
