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
