Rushmere  (2025)     (video)

 

       C                                                           G                    Am

1. Don't you miss the breathlessness, the wildness in the eye ?

        F                                  C         G

    Come home late in the morning light.

         C                                                                 G                     Am

    Bloodshot dreams under streetlight spells a truth no one can tell,

           F                  C

    and I was still a secret to myself.

 

 C                                              Am

Light me up, I'm wasted in the dark

                                  Em               G

Rushmere, restless hearts in the end !

   C                                    Am                               Em        G

Get my head out of the ground, time don't let us down again.

 

       C                                                    G                     Am

2. Take me back to empty lawns and nowhere else to go,

                     F                          C  

    you say, come get lost in a fairground crowd.

                 C                                                          Am

    Where no one knows your name there's only honest mistakes,

        F                             C

    there's no price to a wasted hour.

 

 C                                              Am

Light me up, I'm wasted in the dark

                                  Em               G

Rushmere, restless hearts in the end !

  C                                    Am                               Em        G

Get my head out of the ground, time don't let us down again.

 

                  F         C                                 - F

+   What's lost is gone and buried deep,

             Am          G           - F           C              G

    take heart and let it be,       don't lie to yourself.

                    F                    C                        - F

    There's madness and magic in the rain,

                 Am      G               - F          C              G

    there's beauty in the pain,      don't lie to yourself.

 

       C                                             Am

+  Light me up, I'm wasted in the dark,

                                      Em                                                    G

    Rushmere, restless hearts, there’s something we might miss.

                                 C                                             Am

    A whole life in a glimpse, well, I'm still working it out,

                                Em       G

    time don't let us down again,

                              F                                          Am

    'cause I won't wait, get my head out of the ground,

                               Em        G     - C

    time don't let us down again.
