Fingerprints Lyrics

From Kloot's Mercury Prize-nominated Sky At Night Album.
A very beautiful song that is also straightforward to learn.
Capo at 2nd fret
If heaven is a place upon your skin
That I may have touched from with-out to within
Well then dust yourself of fingerprints and grin
And grin
Cos we don't have to stay
With these people whose ideas
Are just what other people say
We can walk a-way
From these feelings that are filling up
Our lives with daze
And I guess that I've been singing all my life
Well that's right and that is fine
I been spending all your money and your time
Well that's right and that is fine
Cos I don't have to stay
With these feelings that are filling up
My life with daze
I can walk a-way
From these people whose ideas
Are just what other people say
Again and again
And the crowd that is gathered is con-fused
We're all trembling inside solitude
We've got nothing left to use
We've got all the bullets
But there's no-one left to shoot
And we can't walk a-way
From these feelings that are filling up
Our lives with daze
We may have to stay
With these people whose ideas
Are just what other people say
Again and again
Well if heaven is a place upon your skin
That I may have touched from with-out to within
Well then dust yourself of fingerprints and grin
And grin and grin
I guess that I've been singing all my life
Well that's right and that is fine
I been spending all your money and your time
Well that's right and that is fine
I hope I've done it justice!
