The Outskirts

[Verso 1]
 
Bm 
Words come down from heaven 
F#m 
Ringing, singing, crying 
    Bm 
The angels dropped a heavy book 
F#m 
Full of all my lying 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
     Bm7 
Dont ask me why 
  A 
I look so sad 
   Bm7             F#m 
My face as long as sin 
   Bm7 
The pearly gates 
     A 
Have shut me out 
    Bm7           F#m 
I'm never getting in 
 


[Refrão]
 
D               A 
Stranded in the echoes 
      F#m 
Of the Outskirts 
D                            F#m 
Where there is no rescue or reprieve 
D               A 
Stranded in the echoes 
      F#m 
Of the Outskirts 
Bm7                      F#m 
God almighty, I want to believe 
D                         A 
God almighty, I want to believe 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Bm 
Hanging on the ledge of 
F#m 
Feeling pretty fine 
Bm 
Kicking stones up off the edge 
       F#m 
Just to see how far they fly 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
     Bm7 
Dont ask me why 
  A 
I look so sad 
   Bm7             F#m 
My face as long as sin 
   Bm7 
The looming pace 
   A 
Of heavy sprawl 
    Bm7           F#m 
Will always hem me in 
 


[Refrão]
 
D               A 
Stranded in the echoes 
      F#m 
Of the Outskirts 
D                            F#m 
Where there is no rescue or reprieve 
D               A 
Stranded in the echoes 
      F#m 
Of the Outskirts

God almighty, I want to believe
