This song is easy chord-wise, but the order the chords are played in is confusing. When
it first starts off, it starts on a very low F, then progresses up. For example, on the
first line you play a low F, then go up to Am, then up to C, then Dm, and the next F. 
You stop going higher on "stone", and play down, but stay on that octave until the next
verse(then you start over).

****Also, in the chorus I couldn't figure out what the note name was for the other chord
on "pancake". I put a star buy it; you basically play a Cm but instead of the last note
being a G, its replaced with a play G flat.

email me with any questions if this is confusing(sorry if it is!!)

Verse:

F        Am     C       Dm    F
They fell out into the navy night

    Am      C
with smiles of stone

Dm       F        Am        C
walking down roads that glittered,

   Dm            F       G
with winter light and snow

F           G    C       D      G
linking thin arms, they swam the sea

 Am   B♭
a soul sea
                     (play the lower Em, Dm, and C)
  F         G        Em        Dm
gleefully cackling, bitter and twisted

       C        G     Am
burning like golden rings

                 F             G         Am
it was the burning of the bright young things



    F         Am      C
not a penny on them, but

            Dm      F
they had expensive needs

     Am       C      Dm
flying down, hot city streets

         F         Am
country and the city mouse

      C              Dm
found an old Dutch Pancake house

        F        G       Am
ordered a plate of syrupy lies
(play A lower C)
C                     G
yeah they ate 'em all up

                Am
and licked the plate dry


(play these notes an octave lower)
F         G       Em      F
ordered 8, left without paying

F         G     Am
syrupy, syrupy lies

F               G                Em       Dm
ran down the streets, with pancake gods saying,

C                  G              Am
"we can see your guilty, guilty eyes

C                 G       Am
tonight, a pancake thief dies."

Verse: (start from the lower keys as in the beginning)

  F       Am       C    Dm     F
sleepy when drink the magical winds

Am          C
parting winds, all of the bright things

F          Am      C            Dm
split them apart, cement on their wake

F                      G
to places where the pancake gods wait



   F              G
one got lost and ended up

   C
in Leytonstone

F                  G
other missed his train or

               C             Dm
lost his wallet, man bag, and his phone

        F              G
sixty pounds spent on the black cab

         C        Dm
all the way back home

all the way back home

karma kicked your butt, real good

        F           G         Em          Dm
and next time you try making a runner for the door

       C              G         Am
don't be tight, just pay for your food

       C              G         Am
