Verse 1:
Db                Gb      Bbm             Ab
I’m not a godly man, but every time we fucked
    Db                 Gb
I’d shout out “Oh God, enough”
    Bbm                 Ab
To send up my own little prayer
Db                Gb      Bbm               Ab
I'm not a lucky man, but darling you had me fooled
Db                      Gb
You carved out a better man
 Bbm             Ab
One that loved you through and through
Db                       Gb                 Bbm                Ab
I used to spend whole evenings watching the movements of your mouth
Db                           Gb                             Bbm                  Ab
I'd take you all in, and thank God that I did, 'cause it's all that I'm left with now

Pre-chorus:
Gb                  Fm
Trapped inside for another night
Bbm          Fm       Gbm               Abm
These junkie fingers scroll me back to another life

Chorus:
Ab                         Db
My eyes burn holes through pictures of you and I
           Gb
Cariad, I miss you all the time
                Bbm     Fm          Gb
Accepting it's over, I let the air run out
             Db
All of these pictures of you and I
                 Gb
Plastered on the hallways of my mind
                   Bbm    Fm          Gb
But now that it's over, I let the air run out

Db Gb Bbm Ab

Verse 2:
Db                Gb      Bbm             Ab
I'm just a crooked man, I found God in sin
Db                Gb      Bbm             Ab
I'd dig up the past again, just to watch you dancing within
Db                Gb      Bbm             Ab
I'm missing Call Lane and the cigarette stains, all the poetry I never read
Db                Gb      Bbm             Ab
Outrageously dreaming of us reconvening and you leading me back to bed

Pre-chorus:
Gb                  Fm
Trapped inside for another night
Bbm          Fm       Gbm               Abm
These junkie fingers scroll me back to another life

Chorus:
Ab                         Db
My eyes burn holes through pictures of you and I
           Gb
Cariad, I miss you all the time
                Bbm     Fm          Gb
Accepting it's over, I let the air run out
             Db
All of these pictures of you and I
                 Gb
Plastered on the hallways of my mind
                   Bbm    Fm          Gb
But now that it's over, I let the air run out

Outro:
Db
Oh, but I still wake up with things to tell you
Gb
And I dream of you no matter who I'm sleeping next to
Bbm        Fm
Good God I resent you for leaving
Gb           Ab
But I can't pretend I don't need you
D#
Cariad, indulge in this sin
Gb                           Gb Gb               Bbm     Fm
I need your delicate fingers tracing my outline again
Ab
Just once again
Db           Gb
I'm not a godly man
   Bbm            Ab
But every time we fucked
