Elijah chords by Lake Street Dive

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
G+G 7x

Verse 1:
N.C
Elijah has brains and long legs and wears jeans at his hip
N.C
And nary a girl in the world has been missed by his grip
N.C
His long curly hair, that when wet, goes as far as his chin
N.C
And his knowledge of poets and punks is debatably thin

Pre-chorus:
  FF            C majorC            G+G
The thing i like most about him is what I see on the surface
D MajorD                C majorC             G+G     E minorEm
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus

Chorus:
FF  D MajorD G+G E minorEm FF D MajorD G+G
Oh Elijah!
G+G *

Verse 2:
G+G *                   G+G
Elijah, he lay in psychosis one bright sunny day
G+G *                   G+G
And even in sleep I cannot make myself walk away
G+G *                     G+G
So pretty was he, I said something I couldn't retract
G+G *                          G+G
And so for three years, he spent most of his time in the sack

Pre-Chorus:
  FF           C majorC            G+G
Although it's November, I know we won't make it to christmas
   D MajorD             C majorC             G+G    E minorEm
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus

Chorus:
FF  D MajorD G+G E minorEm
Oh Elijah!
FF  D MajorD G+G E minorEm
Oh Elijah!

Instrumental:
FF D MajorD G+G E minorEm FF D MajorD G+G

Verse 3:
G+G
Elijah once told me in private that he'd like a break
G+G
Although he revealed through his actions that he was a fake
G+G
And so, then in public I told him that he's too dependent
G+G (single strum, mute quickly)      G+G
And now to this day I maintain that I am unrepentant

Pre-chorus:
FF *        C majorC *     G+G
All he can see through the tunnel is none of his business
D MajorD *          C majorC *       G+G    E minorEm
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus

Chorus:
FF  D MajorD G+G E minorEm FF D MajorD G+G E minorEm
Oh Elijah!
FF  D MajorD G+G E minorEm FF D MajorD G+G E minorEm
Oh Elijah!
FF  D MajorD G+G E minorEm FF D MajorD G+G E minorEm
Oh Elijah!
FF  D MajorD G+G E minorEm FF D MajorD G+G E minorEm
Oh Elijah!
