Vnv Nation - Standing Ukulele

Super easy stuff, but it sounds very pretty on acoustic. Enjoy!


Am               C
Eyes betray the soul
             Am
And bear its thinking
                          C              Am
Beyond words, they say so many things to me

           C              C
A stranger here, reborn it seems
        Am
Awaking wonders deep in me
                                  C
If nothing's ventured, nothing's gained
          Am
So I must seize the day

[chorus 1]
             C              C
And fighting time, so hard I pray
            Am
That this moment lasts forever
             C                   C
And will the world stay standing still
             Am
At least for me
           C               C
Through my eyes, stare into me
          Am
I bare my heart for all to see
        C                  C
With my face turned to the sun
           Am
There ever standing still

          Am            C
It wasn't you, it wasn't me
           Am
It wasn't anything
                      C
It was a day so long awaited
      Am
And a chance to be as me

          C                   C
I let the wind run through my hands
         Am
Before I turned to walk away
                          C               Am
In distant days, I long to sense it all so clear

[chorus 2]
             C               C
And fighting time, so much I ask
             Am
I will this moment last forever
               C                         C
Though seasons change, things come to pass
          Am
Remain inside of me

         Am                  C
I had no faith, before that time
       Am
In any vow or deed
              C                     Am
Days followed days, and years were meaningless
            C          C
Despite the wisdom of defeat
           Am
I bore my heart for all to see
             C
The wonders I had seen
C            Am
The wonders I had seen

[repeat chorus 1 and 2]
