Our Upholstered Sanctuary
A song about escaping from harsh realities through life affirming TV Shows:
LYRICS & CHORDS:
(F) When the news is getting us down
(Bb) Conflicts in monochrome
Di(F)visions and hate abound
We (C) hide inside our home
And (F) curl up on the couch
A (Bb) blanket around our knees
And (F) binge watch on TV
Stories like (C) "Anne with an (F) E"
You can (Dm) keep your blood and gore
And your (Gm) violent tales of war
We like (Bb) series on TV
Full of (C) love and empathy
All (Bb) Creatures Great and Small
Or The (F) Durrells , some I recall
Not (Gm) people we'd abhor
Who we'd (Bb) never let (C) past our (F) door
(F) We like protagonists we care about
Who touch our (Bb) hearts when in distress
To (F) such we are devout
Wishing (C) them every success
We feel their (F) pain when they're maligned
And their (Bb) joy when things go right
People (F) we can really get behind
Who embody the (C) best in all man(F)kind
CHORUS - Then Repeat Verse ONE
ALT Last Line: "From our upholstered sanctuary"
