Sit down, you're safe now
You've been [B]stuck in a lift
A* A13 G#m7 E
We've been trying to reach you, Thom
[B]This is the place
A* A13 G#m7 E
It won't hurt, it won't hurt again
[B]A scent of recognition
A face you barely loved
Empty all your pockets
A* A13 G#m7 E
Cause it's time to go home
[B]This is the place
A* A13 G#m7 E
Remembering all the things you always see
You've been [B]stuck in a lift
A* A13 G#m7 E
In the belly of a whale at the bottom of the o_____cean
[B]A scent of recognition
A face you barely loved
Empty all your pockets

Let it [G#m7]go, let it go[E]
To[B]day is the first day
A* A13 G#m7
of the rest of your days
So lighten up, s[E]quirt
CHORDS:
Please note that a dropped D tuning on both E strings is used. Also, there is a use of a capo on the 4th
A capo is not essential, and the song can still be played no matter where you use it. For players wanting
play "Lift" with un-capoed strings, simply subtract 4 from each of the fret numbers below.
As for the Amaj7 add flat12 chord, that's just getting technical. It is a pretty weird chord, but it
cool nonetheless. I've shortened it to A* just to make it easier to read.

This is the fingering I use for the chords. Feel free to use an alternate fingering if it's easier. The
are numbered respectively 1-4, index to pinky.

Pretty easy fingering, so there should be no problems there. I believe the B is spiced up by a few random
to the chord, which can be achieved with your 1st finger. For the E chord, it is basically a C major
but you'll need to mute the low D string with your thumb (indicated with the X), otherwise the chord will sound icky.
---------------------------------
This tab is a half-step lower than last tab, anyone who thinks it was right
last time should tune down half a step before their strings break......
Also I'm not 100% sure about the A+5 bit chord, I've got a bad live copy of
lift.....
Intro: Just strum a Bb chord for 4 bars (It changes to a sus2 when Thom starts singing)
[Bbsus2]This is the place.
A+5 bit G#m E
Sit down, you're safe now.
You've been [Bbsus2]stuck in a lift.

A+5 bit G#m E

Bbsus2:
[EADGBE]X24422
All th rest is easy, except the A+5 bit, which should roughly look like this
E---0---0---0---0---| B---0-h-2-h-4-p-0---| G---2---2---2---2---| D---2---2---2---2---| A---0---0---0---0---| E---X---X---X---X---|
if it doesn't sound right ad-lib in this style until it does.
