Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
D MajorD                      B minorBm
Rejections a constant, bitterness comes with age
          G+G
Once or twice a lifetime you get days like today
         D MajorD             B minorBm
And I hope no one pissed on this milk crate
     A augmentedA
I hope no pissed on this milk crate
D MajorD
Where there's no tidying up

And nothing falls and no one breaks
B minorBm
You can't say I'm disgusting
    G+G
If you don't mean it that way
         D MajorD            B minorBm
And I hope no one comes down this laneway
       A augmentedA
I hope no one comes down this laneway
D MajorD
And I woke up before the sun in the arms of a tough girl
B minorBm            G+G
Heard me speaking lately you've

Heard me speaking about her and

Pre-Chorus:
           D MajorD
Last night I said, "I love you" without a hint of fear
   B minorBm                 A augmentedA              G+G
Last night I said, "I love you" nothing exploded, no one disappeared

Chorus:
G+G                A augmentedA
And the realisation shatters through me
               B minorBm
That I'm the villain in this movie
                 D MajorD
But I've got no script and no direction
              A augmentedA
I just want you to let me love you
              G+G
I just want you to let me love you
              D MajorD
I just wanted you to let me

Verse 2:
D MajorD                     B minorBm
Dialogue is diluted by strangers and thin walls
                    G+G
Little murmur runs through the audience

The first time he calls
                 D MajorD            B minorBm
You hang up and a sinking feeling falls amongst the crowd
                A augmentedA
Someone whispers to their wife
               D MajorD
"My god, what's she doing now?"

"My future never really mattered much at all,"
      B minorBm                G+G
I mutter to you down a telephone lying on the bathroom floor

Pre-Chorus:
             D MajorD           B minorBm
And last night I said, "I love you" without fear
            A augmentedA          G+G
Last night I said, "I love you" and I disappeared

Chorus:
G+G                A augmentedA
And the realisation shatters through me
               B minorBm
That I'm the villain in this movie
                 D MajorD
But I've got no script and no direction
              A augmentedA
I just want you to let me love you
              G+G
I just want you to let me love you
              D MajorD  B minorBm
I just wanted you to let me

Bridge:
D MajorD                 B minorBm
And all I think I'd need to cast off insecurities
        D MajorD
Is for you to write something for me
         B minorBm
Like I write for you incessantly
      D MajorD               B minorBm
But I don't live in your mind the way that you do in mine
      D MajorD             A augmentedA
And my feet stick to the floor of the shower
      B minorBm               G+G
But we get evicted in three-quarters of an hour
      D MajorD         A augmentedA       B minorBm            G+G    A augmentedA
And you rub paw-paw on a new tattoo and say, "One day there'll be a song about you."

D MajorD                 B minorBm
One day there'll be a song for you
           G+G    A augmentedA
One day there'll be a song about you
D MajorD                 B minorBm
One day there'll be a song for you
           G+G    A augmentedA
One day there'll be a song about you

D MajorD                   B minorBm
And I know that you hated me that time
            D/F#D/F#  A augmentedA      D MajorD
But I've made up for that now haven't I?
               B minorBm         D/F  A augmentedA   D MajorD
Soaked in spotlights spitting vitriol without the corresponding kind

Outro:
D MajorD                  B minorBm
One day there'll be a song for you
           G+G    A augmentedA
One day there'll be a song about you
D MajorD                  B minorBm
One day there'll be a song for you
           G+G    A augmentedA
