[Verse 1]
F
First loves don't leave you, the needles & pins
My phantom limb likes to cry full of gin
A A#
She's a molten mistake, lightning blue at the wake
C
She just hangs tight
Gm7
And I meant what I said at the foothills
Fmaj7
Won't you walk me, talk with me, give me tonight
Gm7
Ancient ruins bullied by sky scraper lights
Fmaj7
Hungry & homeless I creep into the glow of it's
A
Lonely, dying flame,
[Chorus]
D
I think I want to
G A
Be the memory that you turn to
Bm A D
When you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
G A
But at the same time I want to forget you
Bm A
Take a gun to the mantle
D G
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
A Bm A
I'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
D G A
Tamed into numbness, it's what I have become since
Bm A G
The person you recognise
[Verse 2 - yours truly]
Fmaj7
First loves conditioned like poisonous fate
With optimism we just contradict
A A#
Was I just your mistake, cinnamon to the taste
C
Bitter but graceful
Gm7
You know I meant what I said in the moment
Fmaj7
But now I'm pendulum sentiments, swaying while I cry
Gm7
Destined for abattoirs, lovers only live
Fmaj7
A penny for your thoughts, I would kill for a kiss
A
Lonely, dying flame,
[Chorus 2]
D
I think I want to
G A
Be the memory that you turn to
Bm A D
When you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
G A
But at the same time I want to forget you
Bm A
Take a gun to the mantle
D G
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
A Bm A
I'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
D G A
Tamed into numbness, it's what I have become since
Bm A G
The person you recognise
[Verse 3 - both]
F
First loves are lethal, dilute all you like
Reticent discontent laboured in stride
Dm A# C
Hear the acid rain dripping down the water pipes to the ocean floor
Gm7
And I meant what I said you're an angel
Fmaj7
You were sent to me, carefully right at the time
Gm7
That I needed a petal to throw into the fire
Fmaj7
Something pretty and impermanent that I could admire
A
Lonely, dying flame,
[Chorus 3]
D
I think I want to
G A
Be the memory that you turn to
Bm A D
When you're drunk and your empty 'cause you're mine
G A
But at the same time I want to forget you
Bm A
Take a gun to the mantle
D G
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
A Bm A
I'll climb all the trees and I'll pray for a lightning strike
D G A
Tamed into numbness, it's what I have become since
Bm A
The person you recognise
G
dun
cheerssssss
