Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane chords by Gang Of Youths

Verse:
A
So I have this dream, it comes like twice in a week
Em
It’s been so for years and years on repeat
G
And since then I’ve not had a full night of sleep
D
'Cause it plays out the same way
A     D      Dbm                       Em
     I live with this girl and our kid
I’m as happy as a pig rolled in shit

G
It’s postcard, I’m settled, a pirate no more
D

A gypsy at most with no mortgage
A
It’s boring but in the most exquisite of ways
Em
No carcinogenic and humdrum malaise
G
And it’s strange, all the things that I’ve run from
D
Are the things that completeness could come from

Instrumental:
A G D A A A G D A A A

Verse 2:
A
So anyways, we’re happy and impossibly so
Em
It’s earth and it’s heaven, all simpatico
G
Floorboards laid out and the walls painted white
D
My dream self and I like the same things
A
They’re all set to leave and I kiss them goodbye
Em
They go and get groceries or something and I
G
Am drinking alone in the basement
D
 And pray I’m not hallucinating

Chorus:
A
Do not let this thing you got go to waste
Em
Do not let your heart be dismayed
G
It’s here by some random disclosure of grace
D
From some vascular, great thing
A
Let your life grow strong and sweet to the taste
Em
'Cause the odds are completely insane
G
Do not let your spirit wane
D
Do not let your spirit wane
A   G D
No, no, no, no, no, no

Instrumental:
A

Verse 3:
A
In love, I am careful to mostly reserved
Em
And this dream is a life I don’t think I deserve
G
My girl and our kid are impossibly bright
D
And I am just drunk in my basement
A
See a car, see my girl and look at our kid
Em
Approaching a corner, with rain and a skid
G
Then a phone call to me from the ICU ward
D
"Sir, I’m so sorry to say this”
A
I’m walking alone through the hospital door
Em
ID their bodies, collapse to the floor
G
Numb and relentlessly broken
D
Then I wake up the very next moment

Chorus:
A
Do not let this thing you got go to waste
Em
Do not let your heart be dismayed
G
It’s here by some random disclosure of grace
D
From some vascular, great thing
A
Do not let this thing you got go to waste
Em
The pain and the beauty, so strange
G
Do not let your spirit wane
D
Do not let your spirit wane

A           Dbm
Cut me out,
Gbm
take me home
 D     A                Dbm     Gbm           D

And the ruptured chrome plus the deep unknown
D              A       Dbm      Gbm                D
Turn my insides out and my head face down

And the ruptured chrome        plus the deep unknown

Turn my insides out and my head face down
