Belle And Sebastian - Nobodys Empire Chords

F                         Bb     F
Lying on my bed I was reading french 
            Dm        C          Bb   F
With the light too bright for my senses
F                                 Bb      F   
From this hiding place, life was way too much 
          Dm       C           Bb   F
It was loud and rough round the edges
        C                      Bb      
So I faced the wall when an old man called
          C                 Bb   F 
Out of dreams that I would die there
        C                      Bb
But a sight unseen, you were pulling strings 
         C             Bb  F  
And you had a different idea
 

I was like a child, I was light as straw 
When my father lifted me up there 
Took me to a place where they checked my body 
My soul was floating in thin air 
I clung to the bed, and I clung to the past 
And I clung to the welcome darkness 
But at the end of the night 
There's a green green light 
It's the quiet before the madness
Gm 
There was a girl that sang like the chime of a bell 
     Bb                                               F
She put out her arm and she touched me when I was in hell.
                C
When I was in hell...
