TRANQUILLIZER
by Geneva
transcribed by Roger Gunnarsson (boyafraid@hotmail.com)
This is the third single from Geneva and one of the key tracks on their
marvellous album Further.
The intro is simply same chords as in Chorus.
>>VERSE<<
[C] [D]
eye-liner up you knock me down
[Hm] [Em]
you hold your breath and I hold mine
[C] [D] [Hm] [Em]
every step another step towards halfheartedness
[Am]
let us be happy while we`re still young
[C] [D]
let us be happy while we`re still young
>>CHORUS<<
[G] [D] [C]
until it all seemed pointless we lifted up the mattress
[Em] [D]
from underneath the window seat
[G] [D]
is this what checkmate means she said
[Am] [F] [D]
lighting up again, yes I like the stillness
>>VERSE<<
sometimes we had endless hope
and tranquillizer eyes
feel so close it`s hard to breathe
so close but we believe...
let us be happy while we`re still young
let us be happy while we`re still young
>>CHORUS<<
until it all seemed pointless we lifted up the mattress
from underneath the window seat
is this what checkmate means she said
lighting up again, yes I like the stillness
[G]
let us be happy while we`re still young
[F]
let us be happy while we`re still young
[Em]
let us be happy while we`re still young
[C]
let us be happy while we`re still young
[G]
let us be happy while we`re still young
[F]
let us be happy while we`re still young
[C] [D]
let us be happy
>>CHORUS<<
until it all seemed pointless we lifted up the mattress
from underneath the window seat
is this what checkmate means she said
lighting up again, yes I like the stalemate
