Returner by Gang Of Youths

Chords with lyrics

Verse :
 Chord diagramC majorC
Made my peace with it

With the higher power

The years in the spotlight


Were good to me now

But in comes the chance of a lifetime

To quietly see myself out
      Chord diagramC majorC
When the place was alive with it

And thick with drums

And you’d barely believe in

What I would become and
The coldest receptions would await me away

And at home

Verse :
   Chord diagramC majorC
The seven inside

Would wait in wild disdain
 Chord diagramC majorC
Give it unkindly to my face
     Chord diagramC majorC
But the drain at th? start pierced

The v il of the artifice

But I was too young to restrain
 Chord diagramC majorC
(Mmm)

‘Cos every star fire of invention thinks

That they are misunderstood
 Chord diagramC majorC
(Mmm)

But in the crossfire of resentment I was

Giving back when I could
Chord diagramC majorC
But chemical highs and clear blue skies await

Honey gold lightness in my face
 Chord diagramC majorC
Couldn’t take it farther

If I strained it any harder but I got

No right to complain

Pre-Chorus:
 Chord diagramC majorC
(Gimme some time)

To work out my feelings
 Chord diagramC majorC
(Gimme some time)

I’ll define what I need
 Chord diagramC majorC
(Gimme some time)

‘Cos it’s a plain and indestructible thing

That you don’t get **** for free

Uh- uh

Chorus:
Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramFF
 I’m only in it for the money
Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
 I’m only in it for the change
Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramG+G
 I’m not in it for the glory
    Chord diagramDmDm
I’m not in it for the friends

With the form or the fame
   Chord diagramFF
The innocence died in waves of quiet things
 Chord diagramA minorAm                Chord diagramG+G
Nothing feels right or quite the same
   Chord diagramDmDm
It’s great at the start but in the end at the heart
Chord diagramE minorEm    Chord diagramFF
It’s a job and a choice that I made
  Chord diagramDmDm
I strayed into darkness the day after Armistice
Chord diagramFF
Strayed into darkness and I stayed
    Chord diagramDmDm            Chord diagramFF
Went straight into darkness the day after Armistice Day

Interlude:
Chord diagramC majorC


Verse :
 Chord diagramC majorC
Send my regards to the shapers of the industry

It’s highly unlikely they’ll be as blatant as that
    Chord diagramC majorC
I got love for the theorists and the punks and the idealists

But let’s be honest
I’m only in it for the cash
    Chord diagramC majorC
Now I live by a motto, just like Assou- Ekotto

And it’s “**** you and pay me”, it’s a line I respect
   Chord diagramC majorC
Chord diagramA augmentedA below average shooter
I’m hardly Batistuta

But the vision and motivation? - I get

Chorus:
Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramFF
 I’m only in it for the money
Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
 I’m only in it for the change
Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramG+G
 I’m not in it for the glory
    Chord diagramDmDm
I’m not in it for the friends

With the form or the fame
   Chord diagramFF
The innocence died in waves of quiet things
 Chord diagramA minorAm                Chord diagramG+G
Nothing feels right or quite the same
   Chord diagramDmDm
It’s great at the start but in the end at the heart
Chord diagramE minorEm    Chord diagramFF
It’s a job and a choice that I made
  Chord diagramDmDm
I strayed into darkness the day after Armistice
  Chord diagramFF
Strayed into darkness and I stayed
    Chord diagramDmDm            Chord diagramFF
Went straight into darkness the day after Armistice Day

Interlude:
Chord diagramFF Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramDmDm

Chord diagramFF Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramG+G


Verse :
    Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramG+G
And I feel the worse for the ones who love
     Chord diagramE minorEm          Chord diagramDmDm
The ungrateful bastard I’ve become
    Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramG+G
They shouldn’t have to love me
        Chord diagramC majorC
If they don’t want
     Chord diagramFF        Chord diagramG+G

Think I will get better

Outro:
       Chord diagramFF          Chord diagramG+G
When I was bright and young and full of ****
    Chord diagramE minorEm          Chord diagramFF
I was happy in the midst of it
            Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramC majorC
Anyway I’ll tell the guys you said hello
