you propel yourself into the arms of god , and christ and all the angels now ,
D G E
you’re high above the people who , you used to call your equals
C F G
i will stay behind and live this life , you left me as a witness ,
Am D G
who can tidy up yor business , and record that someone lived here ,
C F G
in the shade of trelick tower , in those days of living gently ,
Am D G E
something holy used to love me , something holy used to touch me ,
F Em Dm G C C2
then he heard the voice i couldn’t hear , he’s gone to where it sent him ,
Am D D7 G
and now i’m praying for this pain to clear , he’s waiting on ascension .
Am Dm G
and now i’m praying but there’s still no change , you’re high as trellick tower ,
Am D7 G G/Am
throw your head and when you let me spend my life trying to climb you ,
Am C6 Dm Dsus4 Am
and praying ’til my knees don’t fold , praying ’til my hands don’t close ,
D G
praying ’til my fingers glow .
C F G
and you’ve propelled yourself into the arms of god , and christ and all the saints ,
Am D G E
now i’ve been walking through our house like separation made it sacred ,
F Em Dm G C
i’ve been buried in the books you left , i treat them like they’re ancient ,
C2 Am D D7 G
and i think relics ache for when the saint had breath , they miss the thing that changed them .
Am Dm G
and i’m a relic and you’re so , so high , you’re high as trellick tower ,
Am D7 G
throw your head and when you let me spend my life trying to climb you ,
Am C6 Dm Dsus4 Am
and praying ’til my knees don’t fold , praying ’til my hands don’t close ,
D G
praying ’til my fingers glow .
F A# C
and in the shade of trellick tower , i spent a while trying to keep you ,
Dm G C A7 A#
tell all the people moving on , hey , hey something holy used to live here now ,
Am Gm C F
i’m a relic of a love gone by , kneeling to address the sky ,
Dm A# C F
and i’ll keep praying ’til the binds untie , praying but i don’t know why ,
Dm G G7 C
and i’ll keep praying ’til the binds untie , praying but i don’t know why ,
Dm G G7 C
oh , i’ll pray until the language dies , praying ’cos you’re so , so high ,
C2 F
can i spend my life trying to climb you?
