Tuning: Standard

Here are the chords for the fifth track from the band’s 2015 album, Paper Gods.

Intro: Am-G-F-Em-C-Dm-F-Bm-E
- I tend to play the final E chord as a standard bar chord, since it doesn’t sound right in a minor or a full-on
major chord along the fretboard - feel free to make suggestions on the intro below though!
- then play just Am before Simon comes in for the verses

Verses: Am-Dm
- play a G chord before entering the chorus riff

Chorus/Outro: F-A-Dm-C-G

Middle 8: Am

[Intro]
Am  G  F  Em  C
Dm  F  Bm  E

Am

[Verse 1]
Am
A little ray of comfort in the afternoon
   Dm
To brighten up the room
To lighten up your mood
Am
The whole world is an ink spot on a plastic spoon 
         Dm
You can fight it
Or invite it 
                                       G
Live beside it, laughing 'til you're crying

[Chorus 1]
F               A 
Hold on to your time boy
  Dm     C          G
Don't be scared of what they'll say
F                  A 
You'll pull it off fine girl
    Dm         C        G
If you got the face for today...yeh!

Am
Oh yeh, oh yeh…  mmmm

[Verse 2]
Am
Around around the wall of death, around you go
     Dm
What keeps you in the air
Is having not a care… yeh
Am
And time flies like a dancing man on crystal glow
        Dm
You can fight it
Or invite it 
                                       G
Live beside it, laughing 'til you're crying

[Chorus 2]
F               A 
Hold on to your time boy
   Dm    C          G
Don't be scared of what they'll say
F                  A 
You'll pull it off fine girl
       Dm       C            G
You've got that thing which makes us smile, yeh!
F               A 
Hold on to your time boy
  Dm    C           G
Make up your own fat cache
F                  A 
You'll pull it off fine girl
    Dm         C        G
If you got the face for today... yeh!

Am

G
Yeh!

     Dm          C        G
When you got the face for today... yeh!

[Chorus 3]
F               A 
Hold on to your time boy
   Dm    C          G
Don't be scared of what they'll say
F                  A 
You'll pull it off fine girl
       Dm       C            G
You've got that thing which makes us smile, yeh!
F               A 
Hold on to your time boy
  Dm       C    G
Wake up on that speeding train

F                  A 
You'll pull it off fine girl
    Dm         C        G
If you got the face for today... yeh!

The face for today... yeh!
