Verse:
E Dsus2
In my heart lies a dancer and it's glorified the rain
A E
From the temple of water to the reason for my pain
E Dsus2
There's a price to kindness. There's a bridge I've yet to cross
A E
Where the temple of silence is the reason we get lost
Bm7 A
But find me a partner that can stand the way I shame
F#m Bsus2
Of the past of my frame book, from the laughter to the lake
Mid-part: E
Verse 2:
E Dsus2
Oh, I try to be clever, oh, I try to be good
A E
But I've messed up the same way that I always knew I would
E Dsus2
There was dirt on the carpet, there was freedom in the smile
A E
Of the one I chased after, oh, you sat there all the while
G#m Bm7
And I don’t claim to be more than I ever have been
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/guillemots/up_on_the_ride_crd.html ]
A F#m
But that night I was badness, oh, that night I was framed
A F#m
Oh, that night I was madness, oh, that night I was shamed
Mid-part 2: [E Dsus2 A E] x2
Spoken part: (E) all the way
"So you will change today. The lights you so frequently cover will begin to shine again.
The pathways you trapped so blindly will start your purpose, or disappear.
The drastic decisiveness that you must learn to inherit will make its first cautious journey
upwards into your inverted but patient saddle.
I would like to be your friend. Life, a gift you so often squander is
precious as it has always been. And faith, though hidden, still sits above
your head. So pull back the morphine curtains, go wash and push those demons clean...
(From here until the end it's the same order of chords: E C#m F#m Bsus2)
E
Today is the first day, as they have always been
C#m F#m Bsus2
And today, on you, you will begin again to love yourself, with joy."
E C#m F#m Bsus2
E C#m
Oh, stay with me my baby, I know I'm not an easy ride
F#m Bsus2
But I'll do anything to keep you, to keep you by my side x2
E C#m
I may not ever find the one, might spend my whole life trying to run
F#m Bsus2
But I can't let the good thing die, I'm gonna fight for you tonight x2
E C#m F#m Bsus2
E C#m
I may not ever find the one, might spend my whole life trying to run

E C#m
Oh, stay with me my baby, I know I'm not an easy ride
F#m Bsus2
But I'll do anything to keep you, to keep you by my side
... all the way until the end.
