Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Intermediate 💪
Key: AVerse 1:
A                               A7
Now I'd like to lay here in the night
A                             Bm
Now I'd like to linger in the light
D
Wishing not to move
       C#m
I have nothing left to prove
    D              E             A     G  A
But did I hear you asking was it wrong or right

Chorus:
D          E             F#m
Oh
If you feel a little strange
       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change


♫ Verse 2:
A                          A7
Now I'd like to hover in a hole
A                                  Bm
Where silence is the singer of the soul
D
I have no games to play
          C#m
I have no lines to say
    D                E            A G     A
But someone's taking surveys on a passion poll

♫ Chorus:
D          E             F#m
Oh
If you feel a little strange
       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change


♫ Verse 3:
A                              A7
Pretending every worry has all gone
A                              Bm
Now I'd like to drift into the dawn
D                                        D
As simple as it seems                   (Pleasures are endowed)
         C#m                             C#m
Changing thoughts around to dreams      (Lying lazy as a cloud)
D                  E             A    G    A
But did I hear the stifling of a sleepless yawn

♫ Chorus:
D          E             F#m
Oh
If you feel a little strange
       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change


♫ Verse 4:
A                           A7
Now I'd like to dangle in a dream
A                                Bm
A cavalier who's courting to the queen
D                                     D
Hopelessly insane                 (As tender as the trees)
        C#m                          C#m
Running ragged through the rain   (I only wish to please)
D                       E           A  G   A
But someone's directing lovers on a silver screen

♫ Chorus:
D          E             F#m
Oh
If you feel a little strange
       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change


♫ Verse 5:
A                             A7
Now I'd live to hide behind a hand
A                                           Bm
It's too late for leaving footprints on the sand
D                                   D
Willing/Chilling is the wine       (Gentle as the air)
     C#m                                           C#m
I've surrendered to the time       (There's a stillness to be shared)
D              E                   A G  A
But someone is insisting that they understand
    D             E                 A     G A
   (But someone's disappearing into weird demand)

♫ Chorus:
D          E             F#m
Oh
If you feel a little strange
       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change


♫ Verse 6:
A                                 A7
Now you've heard the story of the skin
A                                          Bm
All the ashtrays have been powdered to the brim
D
I'd only like to fall
         C#m
Watching whispers on the wall
D             E                     A G      A
But someone's making up the bed and defining sin

♫ Chorus:
D          E             F#m
Oh
If you feel a little strange
       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change
