So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away
BmA
You had to win, you couldn't just pass
EmG
The smartest ass at the top of the class
BmA
Your flying colours, your family tree
EmG
And all your lessons in history
Bm
Please

Please
Em
Please
GA
get up off your knees now
Bm
Please
A
Please
EmG
Please, leave it out
* Play beginning riff: *
And you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground
Until you made them crawl
So you never knew that the heaven you keep, you stole
BmA
Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes
EmG
Your stick-on tattoos, now they're making news
BmA
Your holy war, your northern star
EmG
Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car
BmAEmGA
Please, please, please get up off your knees now
BmAEmG
Please, please, please leave it out

BmAEmGA
Please, please, please, get up off your knees

'cause love is big, it's bigger than us
BmAEmG
But love is not what you're thinking of
BmA
It's what lovers deal, it's what lovers steal
EmG
You know I've found it hard to receive
BmAEmBm
Cause you, my love, I could never believe
