BASTILLE - THINKIN' AHEAD


Excerpt 1:


A storm is coming, Frank says. A storm that will swallow the children. And I will deliver them from the
kingdom of pain. I'll deliver the children back to their doorsteps. I'll send the monsters back to the
underground. I'll send them back to a place where no one else can see them except for me.

Verse 1:

Cmaj7                    Am7
A tornado flew around my room before you came
Bm7                            Em
Excuse the mess it made, it usually doesn't rain in
Cmaj7                Bm7
Southern California, much like Arizona
F                  Em
My eyes don't shed tears, but boy they bawl


Pre-Chorus:

         Cmaj7
When I'm thinking about you
   Am7
Oh no no no
          Bm7
I've been thinking about you
    E7
You know know know
          Cmaj7
I've been thinking about you
Bm7                      Dm
Do you think about me still?
        C
Do you, do you


Chorus:

              Cmaj7        G          D        Em
Or do you not think so far ahead?
                               Cmaj7   G      D        Em
Cause I've been thinking about forever, ooh
              Cmaj7        G          D        Em
Or do you not think so far ahead?
                               Cmaj7   G      D        Em
Cause I've been thinking about forever, ooh


Verse 2:

           Cmaj7                             Am7
No I don't like you, I just thought you were cool enough to kick it
      Bm7                               Em
Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho
                        Cmaj7
Since you don't think I love you, I just thought you were
Bm7
cute, that's why I kissed you
      F                           Em
Got a fighter jet, I don't get to fly it though

I'm lying down


Pre-Chorus:

Cmaj7
Thinking about you
   Am7
Oh no no no
          Bm7
I've been thinking about you
    E7
You know know know
          Cmaj7
I've been thinking about you
Bm7                      Dm
Do you think about me still?
        C
Do you, do you


Chorus:

              Cmaj7        G          D        Em
Or do you not think so far ahead?
                               Cmaj7   G      D        Em
Cause I've been thinking about forever, ooh
              Cmaj7        G          D        Em
Or do you not think so far ahead?

Cause I've been thinking about forever, ooh


Bridge:

Yes of course
  Am7                      G
I remember, how could I forget
        D      Em
How you feel?
    Am7                         G
And though you were my first time
      D    Em
A new feel
                      Am7
And it will never get old
                    G                       D      Em
Not in my soul, not in my spirit, keep it alive
                   Am7
We'll go down this road
                   G                  D      Em
Til it turns from color to black and white, ooh


Chorus:

              Cmaj7        G          D        Em
Or do you not think so far ahead?
                               Cmaj7   G      D        Em
Cause I've been thinking about forever, ooh
              Cmaj7        G          D        Em
Or do you not think so far ahead?
                               Cmaj7   G      D        Em
Cause I've been thinking about forever, ooh
