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
Bm                      A
You had to win, you couldn't just pass
Em                     G
The smartest ass at the top of the class
Bm                          A
Your flying colours, your family tree
   Em                    G
And all your lessons in history

Bm
   Please
A
    Please
Em
   Please 
G                        A
get up off your knees now
Bm
   Please
A
   Please
Em         G
   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

Bm                    A
Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes
       Em                G
Your stick-on tattoos, now they're making news
     Bm              A
Your holy war, your northern star
     Em                     G
Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car
Bm        A       Em         G                  A
Please, please, please get up off your knees now
Bm        A       Em         G
Please, please, please leave it out

Are we just starting again?

Bm       A       Em                G              A
Please, please, please get up off of your knees now
Bm       A       Em            G             A
Please, please, please, get up off your knees
Bm         A          Em               G
'cause love is big, it's bigger than us
Bm           A                Em       G
But love is not what you're thinking of
           Bm                         A
It's what lovers deal, it's what lovers steal
          Em           G
You know I've found it hard to receive
       Bm           A       Em           Bm
Cause you, my love, I could never believe
