What Was That chords by Lorde

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: C

Verse 1:
F              Am   C               G
A place in the city, a chair in the bed
F          Am                        C         G
I cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yet
F                   Am
I wear smoke like a wedding veil
C                   G
Make a meal I won’t eat
         F               Am              C
Step out into the street, alone in a sea
         G
It comes over me
        F
Oh, I'm missing you
          C
Yeah, I'm missing you
    G
And all the things we used to do

Chorus:
F                Am                      C
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
                                   G
We kissed for hours straight, well baby, what was that?
F                     Am                         C
I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"
         G                 F
Well, I want you just like that
                       Am                           C
Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out
                              G
I didn't know then that you'd never be enough for me
F                      Am
Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything
     C
Now, we wake from a dream
      G              F
Well, baby, what was that?

F Am C G

Post-Chorus:
         F     Am C
What was that?
G               F
Baby, what was that?

Verse 2:
F                        Am
Do you know you're still with me
C                    G
When I'm out with my friends?
F              Am                  C              G
I stare at the painted faces that talk current affairs
F                        Am
You had to know this was happening
C                      G
You weren't feeling my heat
         F                          Am               C
When I'm in the blue light, down to be myself right
           G
I face reality
F
I tried (I tried)
   C
To let (To let)
G               F                     Am
Whatever has to pass through me, pass through
            C                   G
But this is still a problem, I know
   F
It might not let me go

Chorus:
F                Am                      C
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
                                   G

F                     Am                         C

         G                 F
Well, I want you just like that
                       Am                           C
Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out
                              G

Post-Chorus:
       G             F     Am C G
Well, baby, what was that?
               F     Am C G
What was that?
                            F
'Cause I want you just like that
                                  Am               C G
(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)
         F
What was that?
                                  Am               C
(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)
G              F
Baby, what was that?
