Jackie And Wilson chords by Hozier

Capo 1


Intro:   C  Dm F  (C/E)
         C  Dm Em F (C/E)


C           Dm                          F            (C/E)
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
C                    Dm         Em         F         (C/E)
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
C                Dm  Em             F               (C/E)
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine
      Dm          F      C
For reasons wretched and divine

C          Dm                    F               (C/E)
She blows out of nowhere roman candle of the wild
C           Dm      Em         F           (C/E)
Laughing her way through my feeble disguise
C            Dm        Em             F         (C/E)
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
     Dm              F    C
And lord she found me just in time


               Am      Em            F
Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
               Dm                          Bb    Bm   C
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause god I never felt young


C         Dm                  F                                (C/E)
She's gonna save me call me 'baby' run her hands through my hair
C         Dm                    F                               (C/E)
She'll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn't care
Am          Em              F                                 (C/E)
We'll steal a Lexus be detectives ride 'round picking up clues
C          Dm                       F
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise 'em on rhythm and blues


C             Dm                         F               (C/E)
Lord it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
C           Dm  Em     F                           (C/E)
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
C                Dm  Em              F                 (C/E)
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
Dm                 F        C
Sit back and watch the world go by

      Am   Em              F
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
Dm                               Bb    Bm  C
We tried the world good god it wasn't for us

Am   Em-F   Em-F   Em  C
Am   Em-F   Em-F   Em  C
Am   Em-F   Em-F   Em  C
Dm   Bb Bm C


C            Dm                      F               (C/E)
Cut clean from the dream that night let my mind reset
C               Dm                   F           (C/E)
Lookin' up from a cigarette and she's already left
C                     Dm   Em                 F                          (C/E)
I start diggin' up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette
Dm                      F  C
For whatever poor soul is coming next
