Nerina Pallot - Sparrows In The Snow Chords

[Intro]
 
Eb Ab Eb7 Ab
Eb Ab Eb7 Ab
 
[Verse 1]
           Eb                                           Eb7
That's the secret of the world he said, the one eternal lie
  Gm             Ab               Eb
Believing we are different by our own design
       Eb                                       Eb7
Once a Catholic, always Catholic, Buddhist or a Jew
         Gm      Ab                    Eb
Well if you were God, they'd look the same to you
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Bb7
We are sitting on a bench by Notre Dame, silently watching
          Eb
While old people feed the sparrows in the snow
           Bb7
They're so tiny yet so fearless, like confetti 'til they near us
       Bbm7      Ab
And so I want to know
 
[Chorus]
        Gm7 Ab
Is this heaven?
Cm           Bb
But we don't know it, oh
      Gm7 Ab
Is it heaven?
Cm     Bb
In our hearts and hands
        Gm7 Ab
Is this heaven?
Cm     Ab           Bb Eb Bb
In the midst of everyday
 
[Verse 2]
           Eb                                                    Eb7
Shoot the doctors who kill babies, it's seldom white men who will fry
Gm          Ab          Eb
Is that the currency of human life?
             Eb                                             Eb7
'Midst these monuments of glory, it's always someone else's son
Gm                Ab             Eb
History taught us nothing but to come undone
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Bb7
We are sitting on a bench, two small lost people find each other
        Eb
Finding comfort in what neither of us know
           Bb7
And the further on life goes, the more we see we are alone
       Bbm7      Ab
And so I want to know
 
[Chorus]
        Gm7 Ab
Is this heaven?
Cm           Bb
But we don't know it, oh
        Gm7 Ab
Is this heaven?
Cm     Bb
In our hearts and hands
        Gm7 Ab
Is this heaven?
Cm     Ab           Bb Eb Bb
In the midst of everyday
 
[Bridge]
       Eb
Do do do do do do do do do
Gm       Ab          Eb
Do do do do do do do do do do
       Eb
Do do do do do do do do do
Gm       Ab          Eb
Do do do do do do do do do do
 
[Outro]
       Bb7
We are sitting on a bench, the great cathedral looms behind us
        Eb
At the same time we stand up and then we go
           Bb7
Love and war's a holy passion, bricks and blood are all we fashion
         Eb
We don't fly but once were sparrows in the snow
Eb7
Once were sparrows in the snow
Eb
We are just sparrows in the snow
