Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 1st

Intro: Madeleine Hyland:
    D MajorD
In the back of a cab

Like a puppet with no strings
 A augmentedA
Untangling my headphones cos sometimes they’re the only thing
   B minorBm
That keeps my head in place
           D MajorD
That keeps my head in place


Verse 1: Joey Batey:
D MajorD
Arriving at the door

I hope to god I’m not the first
  A augmentedA
My heart is tearing pages from that funny story I rehearsed
   B minorBm
And I know I won’t be long
           D MajorD
Cos I know I don’t belong

Verse 2: Madeleine Hyland:
D MajorD
Cos though my jokes are my armour

And my kindness is my sword
  A augmentedA
The party swirls around me in a dress I can’t afford
   B minorBm
And I do my best to breathe
               D MajorD
But they’re stealing all the air


Verse 4: Joey Batey:
D MajorD
And the hum from the fridge’ll

Sing me soft littlе vigils
  A augmentedA
As all my steps too far keep saying ‘this is who you are’
B minorBm
I should go home
    G+G
I’m not lonеly I just like being on my own

Chorus: Both:
B minorBm
And I’ll sing silence
  A augmentedA
And ask my glass of wine for guidance
G+G           A augmentedA
I might not make it tonight

  B minorBm
And I’ll speak with my eyes
    A augmentedA
You’ll think I’m weird, one sympathises
G+G           A augmentedA
I might not make it tonight


Post-Chorus: Both:
    B minorBm   A augmentedA     G+G     A augmentedA
Because I don’t find this easy like you
             B minorBm    A augmentedA
Gonna go home and show my cat some memes
     G+G
Cos he’s awesome
   A augmentedA
Like me
  B minorBm
Like me

A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA

Verse 5:

Joey Batey:
    D MajorD
Now I’m lying on a bed full of coats
           A augmentedA
Trying desperately to cope

When you open up the door, say something stupid like

Both:
    B minorBm
‘You’re lying on some coats’

Joey Batey:

I say I know
              G+G
It’s just sometimes nice to feel what it’s like to be in someone else’s coat


Bridge:

Both:
     D MajorD
And we’re bursting at the seams

Joey Batey:

Cos the noise is crushing us
       A augmentedA
We think it’s so much worse than it seems

Both:

But that voice unsaid is rushing us

Joey Batey:
     B minorBm
And in a moment of total rapture

And with every strength I have
 G+G
I ask if you play D&D

And your face lights up like you’ve woken up
     B minorBm
From this endless fucking nightmare of pretending this is you
    A augmentedA
This is us, this is me and this how we’re meant to be
     G+G
But your smile tells me I’m safe

Both:

And that voice unspoken’s heard
    A augmentedA
Cos if god make us all in his image

Then god’s a fucking nerd


Chorus: Both:
  B minorBm
And I’ll sing silence
  A augmentedA
And ask my glass of wine for guidance
G+G           A augmentedA
I might not make it tonight

  B minorBm
And I’ll speak with my eyes
  A augmentedA
You think I’m neat
I’m not surprised
  G+G           A augmentedA
That I might not make it tonight


Post-Chorus: Both:
    B minorBm   A augmentedA     G+G     A augmentedA
Because I don’t find this easy like you
              B minorBm     A augmentedA
Gonna go home and dress my cat up like Batman
     G+G      A augmentedA
Cos he’s awesome like me


Madeleine Hyland:
  B minorBm   A augmentedA     G+G     A augmentedA
And I don’t find this easy like you
    B minorBm
I’m not lonely
 A augmentedA           G+G
I just like being on my own
   A augmentedA
With you


Joey Batey:
  B minorBm          A augmentedA
And I’ll sing silence and ask my glass of wine for guidance
G+G           A augmentedA
I might not make it tonight
             B minorBm     A augmentedA     G+G
Gonna go home and tell my cat I’m not lonely if I’m
   A augmentedA
With you


Outro:

Both:
    D MajorD
In the back of a cab, like two puppets with no strings
  A augmentedA
We share a pair of headphones, cos sometimes they’re the only things

Madeleine Hyland:
   B minorBm
That keep our heads in place
            D MajorD
That keep our heads in place
