Stockholm chords by Old Sol

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Intro:
          C/GC/G
so here I am, again,
    E MajorE                             FF
a bouquet of plastic roses in my hand
                 G+G
a blue-collar war veteran

Verse:
               C/GC/G
and I'm seein' flashes of light,
 E MajorE                                    FF
firing at me from peircing pale blue eyes,
                           G+G
like bullets from colt fourty-fives


Bridge:
           E MajorE                   FF
and last summer you staged a drive-by
          C/GC/G            G+G
from the backseat of my car,
         E MajorE                FF
and you took my dog for ransom
          C/GC/G
made him love you
         E MajorE              FF
and if love is just a stockholm syndrome,
 C/GC/G           G+G             E MajorE               FF
I'm a captive now, so make sure to lock the door
    G+G        C/GC/G
on your way out

Verse:
            C/GC/G
swallow the key
                  E MajorE                 E minorEm
make sure there's no way for me to leave
 FF
starve me of affection
        G+G
feed me once or twice a week
             C/GC/G
why would I sleep?
        FF         BB    A minorAm
there's no need for dreaming
         FF
you are right outside my door
                  G+G                G#G#
hell, there ain't much left to ask for


Bridge:
          E MajorE               FF
and I'm bleeding in your basement
        C/GC/G               G+G
as the walls are closing in
           E MajorE             FF
what's it matter if I breathe when
          C/GC/G     G+G
you're my only oxygen
         E MajorE                    FF
and you paint with such a fine-tipped brush
   C/GC/G             G+G                 FF
I jerk my head, I heard the toilet flush


Bridge: strum once...
     FF
door opens a crack
          C/GC/G
there is light in my life
                G+G
but I've grown used to the black
           Am7Am7
and as you walk down those steps
        FF
paved in cold concrete
C/GC/G                         G+G
bathed in light, bathed in light


Verse:
   E MajorE                   FF
I book it towards the door
          C/GC/G        G+G
as urgent as a holy war
         E MajorE            FF
you fake right, I go left
             C/GC/G                G+G
we start to fight, it's self defense
             C/GC/G
and I feel alive again
         G+G                                C/GC/G
'cause all my time was spent inside that room

no room to breathe
             G+G
I would've stabbed myself with my keys


Outro:
        FF              G+G          C/GC/G
but at least it had a happy ending
        FF              G+G          C/GC/G
but at least it had a happy ending
          G+G          A minorAm    G+G      FF
what the fuck does that mean, anyway?
         G+G          C/GC/G
I had a happy ending
