Omd - Green

a great song from omd’s 2010 album , “history of modern”

intro : C F Dm G C F Dm G

C F
if all the things you said were right
C F
how come you can’t go home tonight
G
you’re frightened on your own
F
scared to be alone
C
in your head
G
not at home

Dm G
and all the things you say and do
Dm G
won’t take the fear away from you

C F
and so you’re once again tonight
Dm
just praying for the light
G
when thoughts that haunt you so
C
will slowly let you go
F
and once again the dread
Dm
is burning in your head
G
you try but can’t let go
C
this pain that kills you so

C F Dm G C F Dm G

C F
if all the things you say were true
C F
why can’t you start this game anew
G F
it’s nothing that was said , it’s only in your head
C G
but the dread , oh god the dread

Dm G
and all the things you say and do
Dm G
won’t take the fear away from you

C F
and so we’re once again tonight
Dm
just praying for the light
G
when thoughts that haunt you so
C
will slowly let you go
F
and once again the dread
Dm
is burning in your head
G
you try but can’t let go
C
this pain that kills you so

C F
and so we’re once again tonight
Dm
just praying for the light
G
when thoughts that haunt you so
C
will slowly let you go
F
and once again the dread
Dm
is burning in your head
G
you try but can’t let go
Am
this pain that kills you so

coda : Am G F E ( to fade )
