Marcus Mumford feat Brandi Carlile - How

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]

C Am

[Verse 1]
Am Amadd9 C
I have wondered what was done to you
F C G6 Am
To give you such a taste of flesh
Amadd9 C
I guess for years I just carried on
F C G6 Am
Didn’t feel much of a choice to suppress

[Verse 2]
Am Amadd9 C
I hope your memory is less vivid than mine
F C G6
And is free from that awful maple light
Am Amadd9 C
I have to say I wish you had just done it in the dark
F C G6
So the pictures didn’t burn so bright

[Chorus]
Am G6 C
But I forgive you now
F C G6 F
Release you from all the blame I know how
Am G6 C
And I’ll forgive you now
F C G6 F
As if saying the words will help me know how
C Am
Please help me know how

[Verse 3]
Am Amadd9 C
I’m afraid it will take a time
F C G6 Am
I make my case to the Shahanshah as I bring him his cup
Amadd9 C
And I tell him the best I can what I need
F C G6 Am
To build the walls of my Jerusalem back up

[Verse 4]
Am Amadd9 C
And I have reckoned with what you have taken from me
F C G6
And I killed that liar in my head
Am Amadd9 C
I buried him beneath the maple tree
F C G6
There’s no joy in dancing with the dead

[Chorus]
Am G6 C
But I forgive you now
F C G6 F
Release you from all the blame I know how
Am G6 C
And I’ll forgive you now
F C G6 F
As if saying the words will help me know how

[Outro]
G F C
How, how
