intro : [ play intro/verse riff x2 with D chord ]

verse 1 chords : [ use intro/riff verse thru – out with D chord ]
i went looking for a song for you
something soft and patient to reflect it’s muse
i took a walk with all my brightest thoughts
but the weather soon turned and they all ran off
took to the ocean , in a boat this time
only an idiot would swim through the shit i write
how can i talk of light and warmth?
i’ve got a voice like a gutter in a toxic storm

chorus 1 chords :
Bm A
all the dark words pouring from my throat
G D
sound like an oil slick coating the wings we’ve grown
Bm A
there goes a love song drifting out to sea
G D [ with intro/verse riff ]
i’d sing along if i could hear over the oil slick

verse 2 : [ use verse 1 structure ]
so it came to pass and i came home
with four worn out limbs and not one love song
how predictable , this is all you got
yet another selfish signpost to my ruin of faults

chorus 2 : [ use chorus 1 chords ]
all the dark words pouring from my throat
sound like an oil slick coating the wings we’ve grown
there goes a love song drifting out to sea
i’d sing along if i could hear
over the dark words pissing from my throat
sounds like an oil slick coating the wings we’ve grown
there goes a love song drifting out of my reach
G Bm
id sing along if i could see past the oil slick

outro : [ use bridge chords with bridge riff ]
there is light but there’s a tunnel to crawl through
there is love but it’s misery loves you
there’s still hope so i think we’ll be fine
in these disastrous times , disastrous times
there is light but there’s a tunnel to crawl through
there is love but it’s misery loves you
we’ve still got hope so i think we’ll be fine
in these disastrous times , disastrous times
