C  F#7  F  Bb

C
                 F#7
Climbing up to greet you
    F                   Bb                C
And all the suns that shine above you
                   F#7
Pretty bombs will sing you
     F                  Bb            F
To sleep and you will dream of them
                  Am
Out of one chance
              (B)
Out of wonder
         (F)                (Am)
A secret box where hides it
               (C)
They put their hearts inside it
 Bb
No one has the keys
            (Gm)
And so they lie to you

C
            F#7
Loving arms attack you
       F             Bb                C
With promises for when you check out
             F#7
Are they so intrigued
    F             Bb
By far off places over there
F                F#7
From inside their pretty cages
  Bb
They creep out and up the hill
   (Gm)          F
To follow them

(1)   -2x-
              (1)
Going places
All the same
 F                 Bb               C
Peeled in grace before the sunlight
   F                  Bb            C
Stripped of face and so the morning...

-solo part-

F
C  F#7  F  Bb   -to the end with solo over-

=======================================================

note:
chords between () are strings' part. I guess it sounds
this way. during live shows they play riffs instead.
