Song: Safe (New Single)
Band: Travis
There are 4 main chords in the song and they?re all based around D. The first is surprise surprise D, then
second one is D with the finger on the G string on the second fret moved to the first fret.
The you lift that fingeer off for the third chord and the fourth the e string finger moves to the third
The four chords are used in each of the lines of verse and for most of the chorus. I think anyway and the
are hit and miss.
D1: D: 000232
D2: 000132
D3: 000032
D4: 000033 : G
D*
Take all the goods from all the bads
D*
And tell the people that you\'ve gone away
D*
Now lift your head up to the sky
D*
And now you can tell apart the black from the white
D*
And you wish we waste they treasure dear
D*
And my only thought is that they could be right
D*
Well look, there goes another year
D*
About as distant as a satellite
D*
And I feel Safe - so Safe
D*
And I feel Safe - so Safe
D D7 G
And I feel Safe - so Safe
C
So Safe
D*
The world\'s a small child in the dark
D*
And my mind\'s the same place that it\'s always been
D*
The monsters seem to fade so fast
D*
Upon the waking of another dream
D*
And I feel Safe - so Safe
D*
And I feel Safe - so Safe
(Middle-8)
Em
And I feel safe, I feel so brave
D
I\'m not afraid of anything they\'ve got to say
Em
If you\'re okay, because your tucked away
Don\'t go astray
C
You\'ve got to be just who you are, who you are
D*
When I was young things didnt last
D*
My only cares went to the price of sweets
D*
Now I\'m more older I can laugh
D*
A darling mixed up man with rotten teeth

| This song is brilliant,I love how all the instruments are introduced at different times and their introductions are staggered through the song,they don't come in all at once.I like it how he talks about being a kid and then uses the phrase "dolly mixtures", as in the sweets,to describe how he's now messed up. The world is a small child in the dark is a reference to the fact that the world as a whole is afraid of things that aren't even there.Like what are produced from big scare stories in the media.Just as a child can't see what's in the dark so it becomes scared.Could also be about the future,people worrying about their lives. He says about looking at the sky and taking the black from the white.When you look at the sky everything just seems so simple and you realise how complicated we make life for ourselves. Then he talks about time,older people look back and treasure time,he didn't then,but now looking back thinks that what they said was true.As time moves quickly and is as distant as a satalite. | |
