Thom Yorke – Skirting On The Surface 
 
Verse: 
Bm         D                    Esus4                  E 
When we realise we are going to die then we’re out of here 
G           F#m            Esus4   E 
We’re just skirting on the surface 
Bm         D                Esus4               E 
We have already clicked our fingers and disappear 
G           F#m            Esus4   E 
We are just skirting on the surface 
 
Chorus: 
Bm         D         Esus4               E 
Dull eyes trying to pull you through the ice 
Bm     A            D      E 
Being drawn to the ledge 
Bm         D                Esus4               E 
When we realise that once we’re broken nothing mends 
G           F#m            Esus4   E 
We’re just skirting on the surface 
 
Verse: 
Bm         D                Esus4               E 
When we realise we’re only held in suspension 
G           F#m            Esus4   E 
‘Til someone comes along and shakes us 
Bm         D                Esus4               E 
As the pattern lights across their fingers like a web 
G       F#m          Esus4   E 
Will we die upon the surface 
 
Bm         D         Esus4               E 
Dull eyes trying to pull you through the ice 
Bm     A            D      E 
Being drawn to the ledge 
Bm         D                Esus4               E 
When we realise that once we’re broken nothing mends 
G           F#m            Esus4   E 
We’re just skirting on the surface
