Neon Grey Midnight Green chords by Neko Case

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Intro:

F                   Dm
I live in the wrong time
            Am
A custodian at the agency
     F
That keeps the planets aligned


Verse 1:
          Dm
There's a breeze
                            Am
Blowin' in through the back door
                    Dm
Where I should walk free
               Am
It taps out my frustration
                    F
Against the outside wall
                              Gm
Just loud enough to drive me C-R-A-zy
           Bb
With this life, with this body
         Am
That did nothing wrong
                           Dm
When it swallowed back that shrieking wave
                               Am
Your do-right woman, she can't take it anymore

Chorus:
         Dm
I hear a hole
          Dm
Where the scrape and the drag of my cannons should be
         F
I hear a hole
         F
Out the backdoor where I should have walked free
         Dm
I hear a hole


Verse 2:
      F          Dm
So I chartered a lion
          Am
And we're waiting in your soul for you
      F
Wound tight, haunches loaded
    Dm
And concealed
                               Am
And you'll refuse to know your cruelty
                          Dm
Reflecting in the shining mirror of my night-eye
             Am
Then you'll flinch just right, just right
                          F
You'll taste exactly like disbelief
              Gm
'Cause who am I
             Gm
That I don't die
              Gb
When you kill me?
                  F
Do you hear that hole?


Outro:
F
Sometimes, sometimes
F
Sometimes I climb a tempest
F
To feel the strangle of my rage release
F
I pound my lightning in the ground
F
I don't hurt anybody
F
Sometimes I drive barefooted
F
To live the ecstasy of animal speed
    Fm                               F
And savor the taste of your disbelief

I'm not your backdoor man!
                   Ab   Bb   Fm
Not your oxeye daisy!
         Ab   Bb   Fm
Not your Listerine lady, your girl!
