Nightingale Lane chords by RAYE

Key: Bb

Intro:

N.C.
This is a song about the greatest
heartbreak I have ever known.
The song is called "Nightingale lane".

Verse 1:
         F                        Eb
On the street in the South London suburbs
         Bb/F                     F
Where my first love kissed me goodbye
              F                                                Eb
His lips were thin (thin), and beer-stained (beer-stained) and tear-stained
                        Bb/F
Was a pain that made me colder now
                                       F
After the oceans I cried, I´m made of steel
Just floating now, mm-mm

Pre-Chorus:
Am7                          Dm7
  But when I drive (when I drive)
Dm7                         Gm7
  Down this road (down this uff)
Gm7     F/A             Bbm
  I reminisce, (Lose my mind)
         F/A
I drive slow, I've let him go now (I,I )
Dm7
  I just see a ghost town
    Ebm6
And sometimes at red lights
      Ebm6
With closed eyes, I tell myself
  Ebm6                       Bb/F
I dare myself to go on, just say it


Chorus:
         Bb/F                    F
Somebody loved me once (Loved me once)
                     F
And someday somebody will love again
         Eb
Like the way you loved me
(Take me back in your arms, love me right, just tonight)
   Ebm/F#
On Nightingale Lane (Nightingale Lane, Nightingale Lane)
   Ebm/Bb         Bb/F
Although we never made it, stranger
    Bb/F
You showed my it´s true
    F
I´m capable of loving someone the way I loved you
       Cm/Eb
It was right there,(And it was) early June (Right next to )
                            Ebm/F#
Next to Old Park Avenue (on Nightingale Lane)
                        Ebm
Standing in the rain, I watched him walk away
            F
Yeah, ba-bo-boo


Verse 2:
                 Eb
Took me long old years to get over you
          Bb                       F
It was an aching I refuse to feel again
            F
And looking back now
                    Eb
We never were quite right for each other, baby
           Bb/F
But in the abscence of passion in my life
           Bbm
I remember how alive love once was


Pre-Chorus:
      Am7                                       Dm7
And I sigh when I drive (when I drive, when I drive)
                       Dm7                   Gm7
When I drive down this road, yeah (down this road)
      Am7            Bb              F
I reminisce (Lose my mind), I drive slow
             F
I've let him go now (I, I )
Dm7
  I just see a ghost town
    Ebm6
And sometimes at red lights
      Ebm6
With closed eyes, I tell myself
          Ebm6                       Bb/F
In fact I dare myself to go on, just say it


Chorus:
         Bb/F                    F
Somebody loved me once (Loved me once)
F
Someday somebody will again
         Bb/F    Eb/Bb
Like the way you loved me (Loved me)
(Take me back in your arms, love me right, just tonight)
  Ebm/Bb
On Nightingale Lane (Nightingale Lane, Nightingale Lane)
                   Bb/F
And though we never made it, stranger
                   Bb/F
You showed my it's true
    F
I´m capable of loving someone the way I loved you
       Cm/Bb
It was right there,(And it was) in June (Right next to)
                    Ebm/F#
Next to Old Park Avenue (on Nightingale Lane)
                        Ebm/Bb
Standing in the rain, I watched him walk away
  F      Eb
Yeah, ti-di-di


Bridge:
 Bb
I've dabbled in love since
             F
Maybe every other summer
It never lasts long
            F
They never stick around
                                    Eb
I’m made of steel now (I´m made of steel)
    Eb                    Bb/F
I believe someday someone gon' come along
                         Bbm/C#
And knock them walls down
and knock them walls down


Outro:
F/A         Dm7
    When I drive (When I drive)
          Gm7 Am7
Down this road (Down this road)
      Bbm    F/A
I´m reminded though
             Dm7
I’ve let him go now
Ebm6
Right here, in this ghost town
Ebm6
Right here on this ground is where

And someday someone  will again
