D Am G Em
D Am G Em
[Verses]
D
With summer wind against my back
Am
I turn my neck back towards the past
G Em
And kink a muscle which hasn't moved in years
D
If every cigarette you kissed
Am
Were tangerines or licorice
G Em
Your mumbles in the morning would be clear
D
Oh who am I to be a heel
Am
I question how she loves me still
G Em
Don't overthink the simple things she brings
D
I send you off and wish you well
Am
To ride on your sharp carousel
G Em
A most familiar song to me she sings
[Chorus]
D
Halo won't you love me
Am
When I'm gone and feeling ugly
Em
When I'm halfway round the bend
G
On a bender
D
Loneliness is pretty
Am
In a populated city
Em
You promised that you'd stay
G
Then you left her
D (Riff1) D (Riff2)
[Verses]
D
I've darkened down the brightest rooms
Am
Spent fifty bucks on six tattoos
G Em
To tell you every story that I know
D
I miserably meandered through
Am
A tune that she was dancing to
G Em
How sad to be so comfortably alone
D
She's better off I'm better lost
Am
I mumble bout the Pentecost
G Em
And curse the name of anyone who hears
D
I hunker down and buckle up
Am
My life is short your time is up
G
Tell me where you see yourself in
Em (palm muted strumming starts here)
Five years
A
No where
[Bridge] - (Switch to open strumming here)
Em A
In bad times I'm drowning like a punchline
D
In a room full of neckties
F#m
I try
Em
To be half alive
Em
My good mood
A
I'm sweating in a wool suit
D
And the words that I sold you
F#m
All of you
G (palm muted)
Are getting harder now to relate
N.C.
Easier to walk away
[Instrumental]
D Am G Em x4 (I like to sing la's for the melody part)
[Chorus+Outro] (Quick transition back to picking)
D
Halo won't you love me
Am
When I'm gone and feeling ugly
Em
When I'm halfway round the bend
G
On a bender
D
Loneliness is pretty
Am
In a populated city
Em
You promised that you'd stay
G
Then you left her
Em
Then you left her
G
Then you left her
D (strum once)
