[Guitar Intro]
Fmaj7 C
Fmaj7 C
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 C
Snow in the city
Fmaj7 C
Fire in your drink
Fmaj7 C G Am7
A little less whiskey swear knows what I think
Fmaj7 C
And you blush like a rosé
Fmaj7 C
All your humble found power
Fmaj7 C G Am7
And outside this cafe took my heart in your tower
{Guitar picking from the intro}
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 C
Ride through the quarter
Fmaj7 C
On this bike that I bought
Fmaj7 C G Am7
Cuttin' the corners of dreams I forgot
Fmaj7 C
And you wait out the rivers
Fmaj7 C
Commanding the stars
Fmaj7 C G Am7
And I let out a shiver and hail taxi cars
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F C
G Am7
And you've seen me before
F
C G Am7
Wasn't it nineteen-twenty-four
F
[Chorus 1]
C
G Am7
And you could say I was lost
C G Am7
All of your light scaring me off
{Guitar Interlude}
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 C
I was up in the wheelhouse
Fmaj7 C
Slaving away
Fmaj7 C G Am7
And I tried not to come down but I did everyday
Fmaj7 C
And you lost all your patience
Fmaj7 C
Before forty-four
Fmaj7 C G Am7
When you finally got shameless you were fed up with war
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F
C G Am7
But will you see me once more
F
C G Am7
Come around twenty-, twenty-four
F
[Chorus 2]
C G Am7
Swear I'm done being lost
C G Am7
Show me your light and I'll fly like a moth
C G Am7
When I wake in the morning the first sign of dawn
C G Am7
I'm gonna quit being nervous bout things going wrong
C G Am7
And cross over Atlantic and live how I ought
