Real Life Angel Acoustic Chords & Lyrics - Elbow

[string 5 fret 10, string 6 fret 8, all downstrokes]
This becomes the focal point of the breakdown in the song,
but you don't have to play this if you're the lone guitar
just play Am in that bit)

intro: [Fmaj7] [C]

If you w[Fmaj7]ake in the quake in the role of the heartbroken
[C]Pounding the ground in a sawn off ballet
[Fmaj7]Bring us in an indigo dawn with the lovelorn and
[C]renegade

You[Fmaj7] always found peace in the grip of the beat, darling
[C]Time alone with the pounding of your heart
As it [Fmaj7]starts to heal you'll find a better mirror in
[C]another

[A#]You, I've never [Am]known d[Fmaj7]umbfoun[Am]ded
[Dm]So out of reach and h[Em]ollowed [Fmaj7]through
[A#]Blue and white the light and s[Am]ound s[Fmaj7]urroun[Am]ded
[Dm]As the music p[C]ulls you thr[Fmaj7]ough
And on that [A#]halleluj[Am]ah [Fmaj7]mor____[Am]ning[Fmaj7]
In the [Dm]arms of new love, the peace that you[C] feel's real [C]life

(Fmaj7, C for a bit, or go straight to the next verse, up to you, kids)

Go st[Fmaj7]raight to the place where you first lost your balance
And fi[C]nd your feet with the people that you love
And br[Fmaj7]ing us in an indigo dawn with the lovelorn and
[C]renegade
Yes y[Fmaj7]ou with the eyes ever met not forgotten
Get ho[C]ld of the night that rises in your blood
[Fmaj7]Focus on your pulse, focus on your breath,
[C]know that we're never far away

[A#]You, I've never [Am]known d[Fmaj7]umbfoun[Am]ded
[Dm]So out of reach and h[Em]ollowed [Fmaj7]through
[A#]Blue and white the light and s[Am]ound s[Fmaj7]urroun[Am]ded
[Dm]As the music p[C]ulls you thr[Fmaj7]ough
And on that [A#]halleluj[Am]ah [Fmaj7]mor____[Am]ning[Fmaj7]
In the [Dm]arms of new love, the peace that you[C] feel's real [C]life

Talking your way to the heart of the[Am] cita[G]del
[Fmaj7]Up on the tables, or, shouldering strangers, or
[Fmaj7]Under my arm as we add to the waterfall [G]
[Am]My little sister with brothers in common
[Am]You never need fear a thing in this world w[G]hile
[Fmaj7]I have a breath in me, blood in my veins
