In The Black Ukulele chords by August Greenwood

• Difficulty: Intermediate

♫ Verse :
F                                                    C     Cmaj7
All of my friends with their lives slowly falling to pieces
   F                                                C       Cmaj7
So I bite my tongue and I realize I don't know what peace is
        F                                                 C        Cmaj7
And the birds on the garden gate are singing but I cannot hear them
       F                                                C        Cmaj7
And I stay within bedroom walls patiently waiting to be near them




♫ Chorus:
 F                     C
Oh
I've fallen down a well
       Cmaj7          F
With a ladder made of vines
                        C
And I can't move either leg
           Cmaj7                 F
But all my friends can climb out fine
                   Fm
So I'll watch them climb

♫ Verse :
F                                          C         Cmaj7
Picking apart every word that you say so I get it (I get it)
F                                              C            Cmaj7
Trying to bargain with demons that I know I'll regrеt it (regret it)
   F                                                    C       Cmaj7
My blood splatterеd on the trees, from miles away I can feel you
   F                                          C       Cmaj7
It took all my energy to finally discover the real you

♫ Chorus:
        F                       C
Oh
I'm tired of falling down a well
       Cmaj7          F
With a ladder made of vines
                        C
And I can't move either leg
           Cmaj7                 F
But all my friends can climb out fine
                   Fm
So I'll watch them climb

♫ Bridge:
      F              Fm             C                 C7
And I notice you so desperately waiting for me to come back
       F                   Fm            C                     C7
In the darkest parts of my memories
I'm there with you in the black
F                 Fm
When did I get so old?
C                          C7
When did my hands start to crack from the pressure
F              Fm
To make myself palatable?
         C                   D
I'm just getting by with the hope
          F
That I'll escape from the well
                        Fm
Taking my time from the center of hell
                               C                                         D
I'll watch myself climb and as I see the light of a fire that stands all alone
     F                      Fm                     C
I'll see the world has been waiting for me to come home

C Cmaj7



♫ Verse :
F                                                 C        Cmaj7
Scrubbing the skin where you touched me until I'm exhausted
  F                                                       C      Cmaj7
I still feel the weight of your words in the air like I'm haunted
  F                                                  C      Cmaj7
I stare out at the trees and wonder where I'd be if I gave in
F                                              C    Cmaj7
Would I ever leave or would I still be in your haven
F
Oooh
