Dawes - All My Failures

dawes – all my failures

capo 2nd

C Am
a dressing , a prayer
Em G
into the air
F Dm C
and the shadows of satellites

so nobody heard
love’s not four words
in a world at the end of its night

G
oh everyone that left me
G7 F C
they’re so easy to forget
F C G C
’cause i haven’t let my failures hit me yet

your voice on the phone
the blood from the stone
and tears that i can’t understand

as if i could heal
with guilt i don’t feel
or by silently giving my hand

well i’m sure “i never loved you”
can be too fierce and too correct
’cause i haven’t let my failures hit me yet

E7 Am
may my demon reveal itself tenderly
F
may he not leave me broken
G
may he leave my to be

so wherever i’m bound
my ear to the ground
and my thoughts on their way back to you

as eternity’s slave
you can write that on my grave
when i’ve finished resisting its truth

and while i’m shaking hands with darkness
it’s with a warm wind that i admit
that i haven’t let my failures hit me yet
