[Verse 1]
          G/B  C     
There's a warm rain, 
        Em        D
are you feeling alright?
        G/B           C    
Well, I know it ain't easy 
         Em             D
when you can't sleep at night.
        G/B    C           
There's a band playing and 
     Em             D
they don't give you peace.
        G/B           C    
Well, I know it ain't easy 
         Em           D
when the noises won't seize.

[Chorus]
Em             C
  Put a little heart 
  in this somehow,
G               D
  put al little heart 
  in this somehow.
Em             C
  Hustling (?) won't 
  hurt yourself,
G               D
  another night caught 
  under your spell.
Em             C
  Gotta find a little 
  life from somewhere,
G              D
  gotta find a little 
  life from somewhere.
Em            C
  Take a walk down Parliament Hill,
G               D
  6 AM when the world is still.

[Verse 2]
         G/B   C      
When the storm breaks 
       Em          D
I will take you to sea
         G/B           C       
where we used to tread likely, 
              Em          D
where we were weak at the knees.
          G/B    C  
Where you warned me 
    Em          D
the title would smash,
         G/B      C      
we would tumble together 
           Em        D
break like pieces of glass.

[Chorus]
Em             C
  Put a little heart 
  in this somehow,
G               D
  put al little heart 
  in this somehow.
Em             C
  Hustling (?) won't 
  hurt yourself,
G               D
  another night caught 
  under your spell.
Em             C
  Gotta find a little 
  life from somewhere,
G              D
  gotta find a little 
  life from somewhere.
Em            C
  Take a walk down Parliament Hill,
G               D
  6 AM when the world is still.

[Verse 3] (Key Change to A)
     A/C# D           F#m  E
If I knew then what I know now,
        A/C#       D        
we were running on empty as 
    F#m            E
the band takes its bow.
             A/C# D         
And get your head straight, 
    F#m           E
get banned out of life,
           A/C#        D       
'cause I’m missing the madness 
       F#m            E
of the light that you shine.

[End-Chorus]
F#m            D
  Put a little heart 
  in this somehow,
A               E
  put al little heart 
  in this somehow.
F#m            D
  Hustling (?) won't hurt yourself,
A               E
  another night caught 
  under your spell.
F#m            D
  Gotta find a little 
  life from somewhere,
A              E
  gotta find a little 
  life from somewhere.
F#m           D
  Take a walk down Parliament Hill,
A               E
  6 AM when the world is still.
F#m        D|         | A         E|
F#m        D|         | A    
                 Take a walk 
     E|         |
down parliament hill
             F#m        D|         
The world is still
| A         E|         |
F#m            D|          
  Take a walk, take a walk 
            | A           E|
  take a walk take a walk.
