Inkpot Gods chords by The Amazing Devil

🎸 Verse 1:
Am
Oh what these, these aren’t tears
                               C
It’s just the rain that wasn’t brave enough to fall
              F
And what they hear isn’t laughter after all
                                  G
It’s just your voice learning for once to stand up tall



🎸 Chorus:
                       Am
And when the rain came down

I made a vow out to the gods
               C
Please let her live just one more day

Cos she is so much more than all her scars
           F
And if she doesn’t have the will
                                     G
But it seems the world does I’ll stay because

I will be the man my father never was

Am     C      F      G


🎸 Verse 2:
             Am
And what you hear is not silence
                               C
It’s just the trees waiting to hear what next you’ll hum
             F
And what you see is not the dark

It’s just the gods upturning inkpots
         G
Cos they know what you’ll become


🎸 Chorus:
             Am
And to those gods I will speak bluntly

We’ve an accord
            C
If you ever touch or harm him

Please rest assured
         F
That you might not fear a man
                                           G
But to a woman by the end you’ll kneel and plea

Cos I’m more than what my mum told me to be

Am     C      F      G


🎸 Bridge:
                   Am
And I can hear her sing
                        C
And I know she’s giving up
      F
And I don’t know what to do, how to help her
                 G
How to bring her home


Both:
                   Am
And I can hear him break
                    C
And he doesn’t understand
      F
And I wish that I could take his hand
                                     G
But where I’m going is for me and me alone

And I can her her sing


Post 🎸 Chorus:
Am                 F
If I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone
     C                    G
Just know I loved you all along…
Am                 F
If I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone
     C                    G
Just know I loved you all along…
C             G
Loved you all along…
