1st traste
[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7 Am G
I'm not a godly man, but every time we fucked
C Fmaj7
I'd shout out “Oh God, enough”
Am G
To send up my own little prayer
C Fmaj7 Am G
I'm not a lucky man, but darling you had me fooled
C Fmaj7
You carved out a better man
Am G
One that loved you through and through
C Fmaj7 Am G
I used to spend whole evenings watching the movements of your mouth
C Fmaj7 Am G
I'd take you all in, and thank God that I did, 'cause it's all that I'm left with now
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Em
Trapped inside for another night
Am Dm
These junkie fingers scroll me back to
Em
another life
 
[Chorus]
F G C
My eyes burn holes through pictures of you and I
Fmaj7
Cariad, I miss you all the time
Am Em F G
Accepting it's over, I let the air run out
C
All of these pictures of you and I
Fmaj7
Plastered on the hallways of my mind
Am Am Em F G
But now that it's over, I let the air run out
 
C Fmaj7 Am G
 
[Verse 2]
C Fmaj7 Am G
I'm just a crooked man, I found God in sin
C Fmaj7 Am G
I'd dig up the past again, just to watch you dancing within
C Fmaj7 Am C
I'm missing Call Lane and the cigarette stains, all the poetry I never read
C Fmaj7 Am G
Outrageously dreaming of us reconvening and you leading me back to bed
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Em
Trapped inside for another night
Am Dm
These junkie fingers scroll me back to
Em
another life
 
[Chorus]
F G C
My eyes burn holes through pictures of you and I
Fmaj7
Cariad, I miss you all the time
Am Em F G
Accepting it's over, I let the air run out
C
All of these pictures of you and I
Fmaj7
Plastered on the hallways of my mind
Am Am Em F G
But now that it's over, I let the air run out
 
[Outro]
C
Oh, but I still wake up with things to tell you
Fmaj7 Am
And I dream of you no matter who I'm sleeping next to
Em
Good God I resent you for leaving
Fmaj7
But I can't pretend I don't need you
C
Cariad, indulge in this sin
Fmaj7
I need your delicate fingers tracing my
Am
outline again
Em Fmaj7
Just once again
C Fmaj7
I'm not a godly man
Am G
But every time we fucked
