The Defeat chords by Ben Howard

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro]
C  E  x4

Verse 1:
G
There is no rush when you don't belong
C
Turns out we don't all
      Am       E
Fight like dogs in the end
C
Most of us want to roll out
C
Roll under the grass
E
You are limbless, cartoon
E
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
No bridge in your song
C
Spirulina won't cure my heartbreak
C
I was a dreamer when I learned to take
E
In between her and the fireplace
C
There are factors that conditioned me Something in the canopy
E
Clearly

Verse 2:
C
And the blank ones
C
Cartwheel out of the furnace
            E
The mould never cracked you see
        E
The girls in St Denis
           C
Still sleep on their backs
       C
Understood a fact
              E
When you spoke in all your marvelous ideologies
          Am
The world is always at ease, at ease, at ease
     E
Don't you see

Verse 3:
    C
And the deaths on the highways
   C
From drinking at casinos
    E
Feel so natural
      E
Every day a dice roll
       E
Every way you gamble
           C
Where is something I can handle?
           Am
And the world void of Petrov, our savior
    Am
We are taught to savour
        C
Everyone else's failures
    E
Endlessly

Verse 4:
     C
Even the greatest
       C
The very very greatest, gave up, tapped out
     E
Told all you f**kers to lie down
     E
Yet still you found
         C
Cathedrals of dissent
           C
Where does the robber go
           E
Where does the robber go to repent?
   C
Tell me

Instrumental:
E  C  E

Verse 5:
G       Am
Till there you were
           C
You wouldn't buy a round
       Am
For your best friend
          E
See, it's trickled down
         Am
On you I don't depend
         C
There you go then bye
       Am
Another end, bye
     Am
Infinitum bye
E      Am    C
There you go then, bye
Am            E
 With such a heavy sound

Verse 6:
        C
There is no rush when you don't belong
     Am              C
Turns out we don't all fight like dogs in the end
         Am
Most of us want to roll out
  Am
Roll under the grass
        E
You're limbless, cartoon
       E
No bridge in your song
       Am
Make me wonder, again
        E
Or make me learn, to pretend
       Am
Make me wonder, again
        E
Or make me learn,
C
To pretend
Am
Make me wonder
C
Again
        E
Or make me learn, to pretend

End:
C  E  x6
