Nightminds — Missy Higgins
Chords and lyrics for Nightminds by Missy Higgins (key of C).
Verse 1
Missy Higgins was thrust into the limelight in mid-2001 while still at high
school. She
won the Australian Triple J "Unearthed" demo competition and her song "All
For Believing"
became one of the station's most requested tracks. Missy soon signed a
recording deal
with local label Eleven: a music company (through Virgin/EMI). a live
recording she'd
made for Triple J found it's way to Los Angeles tastemaker radio station
KCRW and they
started playing it. Many U.S. labels responded to the unique sound of her
jazz hued voice
wrapping itself around her emotive lyrics.
NIGHTMINDS — Missy Higgins
Verse
[C]Just lay it[G] all [F]down. [C]Put your face into my neck[G] and let it fall[F] out.
[Em]I know I know I [F]know.
[Em]I knew before you got [F]home.
[C]This world you're[G] in now,[F]
[C]it doesn't have to be[G] alone,
[F]I'll get there somehow, 'cos
[Em]I know I know I [F]know
[Em]when, even springtime [F]feels cold.
Chorus
[C]But I will learn to [G]breathe this[Am] ugliness you [Em]see,
[F]so we can both be there and we can [G]both share the dark. [C]
[C]And in our [G]honesty, [Am]together we will [Em]rise,
[F]out of our nightminds, and into the [G]light
at the end of [C]the fight...
Verse
[C]You were [G]blessed by[F] a different [C]kind of inner [G]view: it's all [F]magnified.
[Em]The highs would make you [F]fly, and the [Em]lows make you want to [F]die.
[C]And I was [G]once [F]there, hanging [C]from that very [G]ledge where you are [F]standing.
So I [Em]know I know I [F]know
it's [Em]easier to [F]let go.
Chorus
[C]But I will learn to [G]breathe this[Am] ugliness you [Em]see,
[F]so we can both be there and we can [G]both share the dark. [C]
[C]And in our [G]honesty, [Am]together we will [Em]rise,
[F]out of our nightminds, and into the [G]light
at the end of [C]the fight...
[C]And in our [G]honesty, [Am]together we will [Em]rise,
[F]out of our nightminds, and into the [G]light
at the end of [C]the fight...
