A Rush of Blood to the Head
2002
---------------------------

I got pretty sick of having the first song on A Rush Of Blood To The Head be
tabbed scarsely and incorrectly so I thought I'd set everyone right.

CHORDS:
C7 (x323xx)
Fmin(add11) (1333xx)
Db6 (x4332x)
Ab (466544)
Ebsus4 (x6889x)
Eb (x6888x)

INTRO:

C7    Fm(add11)     C7    Fm(add11)

VERSE:

C7
Look at earth from outer space
Fm(add11)
everyone must find a place
C7
give me time and give me space
Fm(add11)
give me real, don't give me fake
C7
give me strength, reserve, control
Fm(add11)
give me heart and give me soul
C7
give me time, give us a kiss
C7
tell me you're a politik

C7    Fm(add11)     C7    Fm(add11)

CHORUS:
              
              C7                Fm(add11)

C7
Give me one, cuz one is best
Fm(add11)
In confusion confidence
C7
give me peace of mind and trust
Fm(add11)
don't forget the rest of us
C7
give me strength, reserve, control
Fm(add11)
give me heart and give me soul
C7
Wars that heal and cracks that fix
Fm(add11)
tell me you're a politik

             C7                Fm(add11)
open up your eyes open up your eyes
              C7                Fm(add11)
open up your eyes open up your eyes
                   C7
Just open up your eyes

BRIDGE:

Fm   Db6   Ab   Ebsus4   Eb

Fm                     Db6                     Ab       Ebsus4  Eb
