Radical Face – Holy Branches chords

Radical Face likes to tune his guitars a half step down, so if you want to play 
along with the song, tune down to Eb-G#-C#-F#-Bb-Eb. Alternatively you can 
transpose a half step up at the side (ultimate guitar is magical) but there'll be 
more bar chords to play.

Intro: F#m A E B x2

              F#mWhen you were young
                AYou'd bite your tongue
E                              BCalm, always did what you were told
               F#mNever ran your mouth
              ALived life on tiptoes
E                     BOnly felt peace if by yourself
                    F#mWhen mistakes don't count

          A            EThere's a hole in your chest
                            DFrom the time that you were born
                   F#mOne that don't get filled
                     A                         E'cause you've always known you're nothin' they want

                F#m            B     DBut everybody's bones are just holy branches
          E                              F#mCast from trees to cut patterns into the world
       B                 DAnd in time we find some shelter
          E                            BmSpill our leaves and then sleep in the Earth
               D           And when we're there we'll belong
           E                                 F#m'cause the Earth don't give a damn if you're lost

F#m A E Bm x2 over the "ooo-oo-oo" bit

F#m        ANow I live alone
E                    BWorking the belly of machines
                    F#mWring my soot-black hands
                  AAnd I don't sleep much
E               Days don't feel different
         BFrom the nights
                 F#mWith no goals in mind

          A          EThere's a hole in my chest
                       DFrom the time I walked away
                F#mOne I fill with sweat
         A                     ESo now I know I'm nothin' they want

                F#m            B     DBut everybody's bones are just holy branches
          E                              F#mRide the breeze to cut patterns in the leaves
       B                 DAnd in time we find some shelter
          E                            DSpill our seeds and then wait for our turns
        F#m           A                  EBut for now we're adrift on the waves of discontent
                    DTrying to carve our place
       F#m                           EAll in hopes we'll be something they want
                       F#mBut I'm not holding my breath

F#m A E Bm x4 over the "ooo-oo-oo" bit

B          D               BTrace your fingers down my spine
B         D              BMake your home behind my eyes
B       D                   BLine my skull with harmless lies
             D              E              F#mI'll bide my time until I'm something they want
