Massive Attack

Splitting the Atom

Gm

1. The baby was born

Nettles and Ferns

Cm

The evening it chokes

The candle it burns

Gm

This disguise covers

Bitter lies

Repeating the joke

D7

The meaning it dies

Gm

Pass me a coat I'm not a-

'fraid to leave

Cm

I'm letting you know

I know what you need

Gm

I'll turn you around

This beautiful town

And then you'll believe it when your

D7

eyes then deceive you

Gm

R: Its easy, dont let it go

Cm

Its easy, dont let it go

Gm

Its easy, dont let it go

Don't Lose It

2. Its getting colder outside

Your rented space

They shadow box and they

Paper chase

It never stops

And we'll never learn

No hope without dope

The jobless return

The bankers have bailed

The mighty retreat

The pleasure it fails

At the end of the week

You take it or leave

Or what you receive

To what you receive

Is eternited leave

R: Its easy...

Incandescent light at doors

In adolescent menopause

In little clicks you got the music stops

The needle sticks and the penny drops

The summer's gone before you know

The muffled drums of relentless flow

You're looking at stars that give you Vertigo

The sun's still burning and dust will blow

Honey scars I'll keep you near

Our blood is gold nothing to fear

We killed the time and I love you dear

A kiss of wine we'll disappear

The last of the last particles

Divisible invisible

The last of the last particles

Divisible invisible
