Staring at the Ceiling Chords & Lyrics by Keane
Staring at the Ceiling
guitar chords lyrics
This is a b side to Perfect Symmetry. I can't take credit for finding the chords
to this song, but after searching for a tab for a long time, I saw the chords on a
copy of sheet music a fan transcribed and had to share. I edited a little bit to
make it sound a little more like the actual song. Let me know if there's anything really wrong.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Em C Bm D
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Em Bm
Things will seem much better in the morning light
Cmaj7 G
Love will be much easier to own
Em Bm
Things will look much better in the pale sunlight
Cmaj7 G
We can be together like before
C Em
You just need time to forget
D C
You just need time to explain
C Em D C/E
You just need time to forget yourself again
G D
You're lying on the floor and
Bm C
Staring at the ceiling
G Em Cmaj7
Thinking of a place you have never seen before
Em Bm
Remember when you held someone for the first time
Cmaj7 G
Remember when this fire was all we had
C Em
Now you want life without death
D C
And you want love without pain
C Em D C/E
And you want time to go back and start again
G D
You're lying on the floor and
Bm C
Staring at the ceiling
G Em Cmaj7
Thinking of a place you have never seen before
G D
Thinking of your old friends
Bm C
And waiting for the feeling
G Em Cmaj7
Waiting for the old burning feeling to return
D
These days
Cmaj7
You don't know who you are
D
These days
Cmaj7
You don't know where you are
D
These days
Cmaj7
We don't know who we are
Em Bm C D
So meet me by the wall
Em Bm C D
Where we used to go
G D
You're lying on the floor and
Bm C
Staring at the ceiling
G Em Cmaj7
Thinking of a place you have never seen before, seen before
G D
Waiting for the phone call
Bm C
And waiting for the feeling
G Em Cmaj7
Waiting for the old raging feeling to return, to return
G Em Cmaj7 D
Oh-oh-oh-oh----oh----oh...
Em C Bm
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
G Em Cmaj7 D
Oh-oh-oh-oh----oh----oh...
Em C Bm
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Em Cmaj7 D
