When I’m needing your loving arms
I’m not feeling you near
Distant seas, oh how do I

So give in to me that natural kind

I’m not feeling you here
Distance seas, oh how do I
Leads me straight to you
Chorus C Em F G
So cast away the doubt, got you turning around (Backing Vox)

So give it to me, that natural kind It’s in this life we learn

Inner Void
Key of Gm
Verse 1
Gm
Ask, believe, & we shall
Dm
I've sacrificed, a part of me
A#
The situations incomplete

Wounds they heal in quarantine.
Gm
It’s so surreal, what do I feel
Dm
Like my backs against the wall
A#
I breath it in, & let it out
Cm
Time will tell your Inner void
Chorus
Eb
The scarcity of your presence
F
I question more & more each day
Cm
Ultrasonic, inner voices
Dm
I need to know the diagnosis!?
Eb
Shockwaves through me to the core
F
Cause what you had, will last no more
Cm Dm
Ahh Ahh Ahh!
Verse 2
Gm
Tested, tried in secrecy
Dm
I’ve found a vocal range in me
A#
The script allows, take 1,2,3,
Cm
Conserving all this energy.
Gm Dm
You got me reeling, in this feeling
A# Cm
I’m disbelieving again.

It’s so fucking diplomatic

Might need it for my next incision.

In this feeling again.

A privilege of a woken sound

disbelieving, in this feeling.
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh!

Verse 1 Am, G, Em Dm
She’s non stop baby shake it, hold it down

Chorus Am, Gm, Em Dm
She plays the sequence all night

Come take a hold of me now

So come away with me to another place in time
We can be free, mmm

Do you dip your pen in ink, when I’m not around
Cause your high speed fibre optic wants it now

Chorus Am Em G Dm
She makes up, for lost time
A higher ground is what we find
So come away with me now, to another place, another time
She plays the sequence all night
& sets the tone in me, I recognise
So come away with me now
I’m in control again
To your one track mind, I’ll make you whole again.

Future is now
Chords - (key of Am) Am G Dm Em
Verse 1
La la la la la la
Running rushing to the unknown
Who knows what the future holds
Understand I want to explore
In the light of day
Chorus
If Love is the feeling
I want to believe in
The touch of your hand is
The warmth of the sun
Verse 2
As the resolution fades
In your eyes tonight
Mirror ball your warm embrace
Just give me a sign
Hold me close & don’t let go
For we never know what the future holds
Chorus
If love is the feeling
I can’t ignore
The touch of your hand is
The warmth of the sun
Bridge
La la La La x2
Hold me close & don’t let go
For we never know, what the future holds
To reconcile, how I need you so
Time is now, so be the change, you embrace.
Outro
Time is now baby
Time is right to let go
Futures now so we take it high, never know
Keep your head held high
Looking up to the sky
& you never look back
Keep your head held high
Baby don’t look down
It’s a matter of fact.

No Man’s land
Chords - (Key of Am)
Verse 1 Am G F Em
Sun shines through my window,
I'm driving in my car.
I drop you off, you pick me up,
And baby we'll go far.
Turning left and right,
Doesn't matter because it's always night.
No man's land. Harmnx (In No man’s land)
Loneliness is fine,
Even though I've got you on my mind,
Maybe I'll take a ride
I'll keep you warm inside.
I Pick you up, you let me down,
Know that I am driving nowhere,
Round and round. Vox Harmnx (No man’s land)
Chorus: C Em Am G
The work goes on and the course endures
The hope still lives and the dreams are yours
Who looks outside dreams…
Who looks inside awakens me.
Vox Harmnx
Middle Eight Am G F Em x2
I’m turning left & i’m turning right
Blindly obeying the traffic lights
A vision near or far
She’s Venus in the sky
Guiding us home tonight
Come take my hand
No man's land. (Vox Harmnx)
Rpt Chorus:
The work goes on and the course endures
The hope still lives and the dreams are yours
Who looks outside dreams…
Who looks inside awakens me.
