Electricity Tom: A
A A/G
I can't really explain it, I haven't got the words
F#m7 E7sus4 E7
It's a feeling that you can't control
Bm7 Fm7
I suppose it's like forgetting, losing who you are
F E
And at the same time something makes you whole
Am G F C
It's like that there's a music, playing in your ear
Am G F E7sus4 E7
And I'm listening, and I'm listening, and then I disappear
C Am
And then I feel a change, like a fire deep inside
Dm7 C/E D/F# G
Something bursting me wide open, impossible to hide
C C/Bb
And suddenly I'm flying, flying like a bird
F Fm
Like Electricity, electricity
C Gsus4 G C
Sparks inside of me, and I'm free, I'm free
(Repeat above chord sequence over the following lyrics)
It's a bit like being angry; it's a bit like being scared Confused and all mixed up and mad as hell It's like when you've been crying And you're empty and you're full I don't know what it is, it's hard to tell It's like that there's some music, playing in your ear But the music is impossible, impossible to hear But then I feel it move me Like a burning deep inside Something bursting me wide open Impossible to hide And suddenly I'm flying Flying like a bird Like Electricity, electricity Sparks inside of me
G Am And I'm free, I'm free
Fm C
Electricity sparks inside of me
Gsus4 G F#m E D A/C#
And I'm free, I'm free
F E A
Oh, I'm free

It's not the light shining in and catching me.
G Gm
It's just that breaking hearts ain't what it used to be.
D B7
But time has come and cast a spell on me.
Em7 A7 D
And breaking hearts ain't what it used to be.
Now I know what lonely means. I used to give so little and gain everything.
The darkest part of every day -
is the shadow of another girl as she turns and walks away.
Can't say I blame them all for being hurt.
After all, I treated each and every one like dirt.
Who wants a heart that's never home?
I face the facts and lock myself into a life alone.
Em7 F#7 Bm
CODA: Breaking hearts. Breaking hearts. Breaking hearts.

G
There's some things I don't have now
Bb
Some things I don't talk about
C G
These things are between myself and I
G\F C\E G
In my thick skull the joker hides
G
There's consequences I'm scared to taste
Bb
Cold hard truths I can't face
C G
These days are different than the past
G\F C\E G
Reflections change in the looking glass
Dm\F C\E C\E G
And everywhere I look there's something to learn
F C\E G
A sliver of truth from every bridge we burn
Dm\F C\E C\E G
A hatful of quarters and a naked song
F C\E D D
Don't answer the question of where we belong
G
How come birds
F G
Don't fall from the sky when they die?
Bb
How come birds
C
Always look for a quiet place to hide
G
These words
F G
Can't explain what I feel inside?

Like birds I need a quiet place to hide

These independent moves I make This confidence I try to fake You can hear the beating of my heart But not a feather falling in the dark
And everything I hear never makes any sense Another old prophet perched on the fence A cupful of pencils and a self help guru Don't answer the question of what I am to you
