1. So you never knew love
until you crossed the line of grace,
Am
G
Dm Am
and you never
felt wanted till you’d someone slap your face,
Am G
Dm An
so you never felt
alive until you’d almost wasted away.
Am G
You had to win, you couldn’t
just pass.
Dm F
the
smartest ass at the top of the class,
Am G
your flying colours, your family tree,
Dm
F
and
all your lessons in history.
Am G Dm
F
Please, please, please, get up off your knees !
Am
G Dm
F Am
Please, please, please, please, oh, yeah.

2. So you never knew how low you’d stoop to make
that call,
Am G Dm Am
and you never knew
what was on the ground, till they made you crawl.
Am G Dm - Am
So you never knew that the
heaven you keep, you stole.
Am
G
Your Catholic blues, your
convent shoes,
Dm F
your
stick-on tattoos, now they’re making the news.
Am G
Your holy war, your northern
star,
Dm F
your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car.
Am
G Dm F
Please, please, please, get up off your knees !
Am
G Dm F
Please, please, please, leave me out of this, please !
Am G Dm Am
+ So love is hard and
love is tough,
Am
G Dm
Am
but
love is not what you’re thinking of.

3. September, streets capsizing, spilling over down the drains,
Am G
Dm Am
shard of glass, splinters like rain, but you could only feel your own
pain.
Am
G Dm Am
October, talk getting nowhere, November,
December,
G Dm
remember,
we just started again.
Am
G Dm F
Please, please, please, get up off your knees !
Am
G Dm F
Please, please, please, please !
Am G
Dm Am
+ So love is big, is
bigger than us,
Am G Dm
Am
but
love is not what you’re thinking of.
Am G Dm
It’s what lovers deal, it’s what lovers steal,
Am
you
know I’ve found it hard to receive,
Am G Dm Am
’cause you, my love, I could
never believe.
