Oh Beautiful Town chords by IAMX

Chords with lyrics

VERSE 1

G+G
I grew up blind
just like everyone's child
in the warmth of milk and deceit
smothered by love and the chemical dust
there was never enough to believe


BRIDGE:

E minorEm
They chewed me up

D9D9
they spat me out

G+G
of their system and onto their street

FF
and the rest of my life was spent to forget

G+G
all the greatness that could never be

CHORUS:

      E minorEm
Oh beautiful town

   G+G
I remember you blacker than the night

           E minorEm
the whores and the sick mouths

  G+G
the bad taste and the neon lights


      E minorEm
Oh beautiful town,

       G+G
where are you now with your binge insecurities?

      C majorC
I shot you down beautiful town

            FF
because you tear your children

  G+G
into pieces

VERSE 2


G+G
Absence twisted with fondness
is the horror I couldn't forget
programmed into great art
of family, lies and debts


BRIDGE 2:


D9D9
too much expectation

G+G
followed by hope and then hate in the mess

FF
and the rest of my life was a glorious test

G+G
of my will and my selfish neglect


CHORUS:

      E minorEm
Oh beautiful town

   G+G
I remember you blacker than the night

           E minorEm
the whores and the sick mouths

  G+G
the bad taste and the neon lights


      E minorEm
Oh beautiful town,

       G+G
where are you now with your binge insecurities?

      C majorC
I shot you down beautiful town

            FF
because you tear your children

  G+G
into pieces


VERSE 3:


G+G
On the floor boards under insolent feet
I mapped the hopscotch to my parents retreat
with a lavender bag in my hand
and words of desperation on my tongue


BRIDGE 3:


G+G
goodnight father, goodnight mother

  G+G
