The Sidekicks


Tom: D

G                          A      Bm
Well you were using me for cover
                 A        G
Moments after we hit the ground
                              A         Bm
Those aren't stars, those are airplanes
                 A       G
Overhead for the air-raid
                   A       Bm
And I hope we both live on
                         A    G
I hope my engine gets me home
                     A      Bm
I hope next time you see me
                    D
You'd still like to kiss me

Chorus:
     G         F/G       Em      D
Free like your shoulders in your clothes
     G         F/G       Em  D
Free like the bible you just stole
     G         F/G      Em       D            G  F/G D
Free like the hand that you grab hold then let go
      G F/G Em
Let go

Verse 2:
What truths do they home in at you
Don't you wish you were a past you?
Uniformed, awful, totally stable

Bridge:
Bm          A
Standing in line for bread and wine
    D               G
You know with which words to greet it
Bm          A
Standing in line for bread and wine
     D             G
They told you just how to receive it
          A
Don't you see it?

Chorus:
Free like your shoulders in your clothes
Free like the bible you just stole
Free like the hand that you grab hold then let go

Outro:
       G             F/G          Em         D
And if free was your last month's rent payed down
       G           F/G         Em          D
And if free was my high-school conscience
        G                 F/G            Em
How our heads would split open, exposing our thoughts
D
And, 
               G            F/G        D
How, just like twin fighter airplanes, they'd fly out
