The Ground We Stand On

This is the studio version from the album MEAT



D                                A

It's so cold here and I miss you.

                           Bm

And I can't help feeling broken.

D                             A

I treat myself like I'm not fragile.

                                            Bm

Like there's no care to be taken.

D                                                A

And I was up last night just thinking

                                         Bm

A hundred reasons to be sorry.

D                                                A

Why don't you come and lay beside me

                                                         Bm

Since there's too much now that's vacant.



*REFF:

         G                                       D

And oh the time that we keep wasting,

                      A

Like we don't know

                                Bm

The joy that's hard to bear.

             G               D

For the ground that we stand on

                      A

Won't long be there.







D                          A

I pray that we will never tire

                                   Bm

Of the work that lies before us.

D                                  A

I feel that I will be the weak one

                                           Bm

And that you will have to carry me.

D                                A

I hope there never is a phone call

                                                 Bm

To say that it's too dark to keep trying.

D                                  A

I hope there's time left to discover

                                    Bm

How to cry at all the beauty.

Interlude: D   A   Bm (2x)



*Back to REFF



D                                                A

I guess it's me there in the mirror

                                        Bm

But I can't say that I know him.

D                                          A

When you tell me that you love me

                                            Bm

There's no reason I should doubt you.
