Verse 1:
D (A) A
Sixteenth of June, nine-o-five, door bell
Bm Bm
rings, man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit
D (A) A
longer, there's three things I need you to
Bm Bm
know - three.
D (A) A
Coming from a long line of travelling sales people
Bm Bm
on my mother's side, I wasn't gonna buy just anyone's
D (A) A
cockatoo. So why would I invite a complete
Bm Bm
stranger into my home? Would you?
Bridge:
D (A) A Bm Bm
These days are better than that.
D (A) A Bm Bm
These days are better than that.
Prechorus 1:
G D/F# E E7
Every day I die again, and again I'm
G D/F# E E7
reborn. Every day I have to find the courage
Chorus 1:
Bm G D E
to walk out into the street
Bm G D E
with arms out. Got a love you can't defeat.
Bm G D E
Neither down nor out, there's nothing you have that I
D (A) A Bm Bm
need, I can breathe.
D (A) A Bm Bm
Bre - the now.

Verse 2:
D (A) A
Sixteenth of June, Chinese stocks are going
Bm Bm
up and I'm coming down with some new Asian virus.
D (A) A
Juju man, juju man, Doc
Bm Bm
says you're fine or dying, please!
D (A) A
Nine-o-nine, St John Divine, on the
Bm Bm
line, my pulse is fine. But I'm running down the
D (A) A
road like loose electricity while the
Bm Bm
band in my head plays a striptease.
Prechorus 2:
G D/F# E E7
The roar that lies on the other side of
G D/F# E E7
silence. The forest fire that is fierce so deny it.
Chorus 2:
Bm G D E
Walk out into the street.
Bm G D E
Sing your heart out. The people we meet
Bm G D E
will not be drowned out. There's nothing you have that I
D (A) A Bm Bm
need, I can breathe.
D (A) A Bm Bm
Brea - the now.

Prechorus 3:
G D/F# E E7
We are people borne of sound, the songs are in our
G D/F# E E7
eyes. Gonna wear them like a crown, oh.
Chorus 3:
Bm G D E
Walk out, into the sunburst street.
Bm G D E
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out.
Bm G D E
I've found grace inside a sound, I've found grace and it's all I've found.
D (A) A Bm Bm
And I can breathe.
D (A) A Bm Bm
Brea - the now.
