‘Sift the Noise’ LP – Lyrics and Chords
One Chance
Sift The Noise
Fighting With Gravity
Wandered
River Road
Cold Come The Nights
Here Come The Lies
Sinking
Drove For Miles
The Passing
One Chance
Gm
Flame flicker fast how you loved that’s left
Cm Gm
All your moments sift down to this
Now your love, like your passion is here in its box
Cm Gm
Your heart meant so much more than the things you strive for
Eb Fsus Gm
One chance, one chance at this
Eb Fsus Gm
Yeah, one life baby, one life to give
Drift to see hit to pay dirt
Wish like you could to see all your worth
Now the chaos to catch to caught in its handful
There’ s no safety here, no safety you can handle
Safe you can handle
One chance one chance at this, Yeah, one life baby, one life to give (x2)
Step to the corner and wet your thrill
See your pain til you take your fill
See to the wake in which you walk
You can’t see the lies you bought
Step to the time in which I came
See it round your neck again
Free it at once and once to the fall
Cos there’s one time and once for all
I like you tall you turn to fly
True like you to make your style
Step to the calm and feel the chill
Find out your heart and take its fill
Sift the Noise
Bb F/A Cm7 F7sus4
To the top of a brand new start
Bb F/A Cm7 F7sus4
It’s in the journey we see exactly who we are
Bb F/A Cm7 F7sus4
I see it all inside of you
Bb F/A Cm7 F7sus4
Which way will you choose
D7 Gm
To all the moments you hold inside
D7 Gm Eb
The sweetest moments now, you feel it’s all around you
F Bb/D Eb
And all the good things come in time
F Gm Eb
For the birds alright
F Bb/D Eb
So beautiful in flight, sift the noise
F Gm Eb
Cos I can see it all in you.
So it’s getting hard for sure
Second guess and all their questions for
To the heart and push on through
When all the shit comes down on you
Cm Bb
Sift the dreamer inside the noise
F Cm
Shed it back the realist killjoy
Bb
Take it deeper than before
F Eb
Find the peace you’ve been searching for
F
And tell me now;
Bb/D Eb
Cos all the good things come in time
F Gm Eb
For the birds alright
F Bb/D Eb
So beautiful in flight, sift the noise
F Gm Cm Eb Bb
Cos I can see it all inside of you.
Bb Cm7 Bb/D Eb (X4)
Finish on the Bb
Fighting with Gravity
Eb Abm Eb Abm
Seek love in arms so wrong
Cm Eb/Bb Ab
In time it all runs dry
Eb Abm Eb Abm
Careful with heart so
Cm Eb/Bb Ab
Fragile, cold
Eb Fsus2/A Cm
Smile and don’t say a word
Gm AbM7 Eb Bb
The troubles you’ve seen are coming up trumps again
Eb Fsus2/A Cm
Weight to worry alone
Gm AbM7 Eb Bb Eb
It’s dragging you down, like fighting with gravity
Gripped so tight in centred self
In fear so far from life
Bridge: Ab Abm Eb Ab Abm Cm Eb/Bb F7sus2/A Abm
Wandered
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Vancouver through Amsterdam cities blend the same
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Broke himself to find these tunes of misery again
Cm Gm
Of love and loss to live it out and bleed it all on stage
Cm Gm F
Lustre gone to see it clear on road to someday fame
Bb Cm Eb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Oh, I’m tired of this aching, rambling soul
Bb Cm Eb Eb/Bb Bb
Oh I just want some of that place to call my home
3 hour road south to town of El Drado
To a tent he came to play, just to find a few
Sick and tired, now I am, of paying all these dues
Reflection’s getting hard to see in empty hotel rooms
Settle down to pick-up truck looking better by the week
Buy myself recording player and write out all the ache
Will the grass get greener on the other side
Or will I wish to slip back to those showtown city lights
River Road
B/E E B/E E B/E E B/E E
Days of sorrow year of pain, through the woods of darkened stain
Just a seam of afterglow, lead my way to river road
It was high atop these hills I felt the clouds so close
Across the valley I did walk atop the river road
B/E E
It’s on and on we go
B/E E
Cos the river, my friend’s, going to take you home
Days dust to nip at heels through the cuttings moonlight throw
In this place of little hope there it lies the dream to float
I am weightless worthy seep, cold night come to bury me
Bearing down a crushing weight, murky water take away
E
I tried to touch the stars
I didn’t get so close
So you brought those stars towards me
B/E E
To find my way back home
Cold come the nights
A
Cold come the nights sleepless for days
F#m D
The rest fall down into mundane
A
Tears for this place they take out the cold
F#m D
Hands to your side, you’ve lost all control
Bm A
If it’s raining it’s pouring down
F#m Dm
The ceasefire stops when you’ve hit the ground
Bm A
And the past well it takes its hold
F#m Dm
The darkest of days fears to let go
Search for a voice, these words can destroy
Rage falls out deep from your side
Can’t stand the noise, say it’s alright
The neighbours will think that you’re doing fine.
Here Come the Lies
Dm G7/B Bb A7
When I try and I fail and I’ll fail so much more in this
Dm G7/B Bb A7
But there’s grace when you fall, strength so much more than me
Bb C
Oh how I see your heart
F Bb/F
Here come the lies you knew
C Dm
I wish I could have changed them to something all so new
Bb C
See it in time on through
Dm G7/B Bb A7
Breaking the lies you knew love with no strings to fake
So it’s here in the fall that you show me so much more to me
And we’ll make our own trail far from these things they did
Of selfish splits to cause such harm
Sinking
C#m C#+
Take it to the line all we knew
C#m7 F#7
Oh so very far, yeah just to find some distant proof
C#m C#+
See the cracks yeah I slipped through
C#m7 F#7
White van dreaming, yeah all in search of something new
AM7 B AM7 B
And all I wanted was right here, I should have seen it all along
C#m7 G#m7 AM7 G#m7
Cos I’m sinking like a stone see the lights come on home
C#m7 G#m7 AM7 G#m7
Drifted way too far to see it all
C#m7 G#m7 AM7 G#m7
And I’m well past thinking that this weight’s across my back
C#m7 G#m7 AM7 G#m7
Yeah I’m almost home I hope you are
Slip the town once we played
Questions fall, yeah, reason out mistakes I made and I’ll call it out
Till reception lost, yeah, just outside of bordertown
And all I wanted was right here, I should have seen it all along
Drove For Miles
Gm AbM7 Eb Bb
Time will find the very soul of this
Gm AbM7 Eb Bb
Peace amongst distance separates
Gm AbM7 Eb Bb
Riding high in dreamer’s sleepy wake
Gm AbM7 Bb
Yeah we’ll find our way
AbM7 Gm
I drove for miles to walk in from the dark
AbM7/F Eb/Bb Bb
I drove right through to see you once again
AbM7 Gm
I drove for miles to walk in from the dark
AbM7/F Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
I drove right through to see you once again
Heavy trees weep across our path
Take the weight to worry all I had
Headlights high see the distant bend
Cold day rolls to end
Cm Gm/Bb
Take it to the edge I’ve tried to
Cm Gm/Bb
Take it to the edge I’ve tried like I could
AbM7 Gm/Bb
Cos this is hard and this feels like hell
AbM7 Gm/Bb
Cos this is hard and this feels like hell
The Passing
E A/C# B
A love affair for 62 came in from the storm
E A/C# B
Eyes crossed off Swanston with perfect pinstripe form
E A/C# B
A charm of manner to hold endeared in quietness felt you near
E A/C# B
To furnish the loss you held her hand and said you’d see her there
E
We’ll hold you in our heart
A sideway word would floor the room with life in every breath
A peace and stillness few to find; you’ve come to heaven’s rest
The first of our kin to pass in velvet wine they laid you out
There’s part of you lives on in me; I’ll wear your name with pride and love
We’ll hold you in our heart
