Capo 5 - Chords relative to capo
A* x03130 (I don't know the actual name of the chord)
I like to play the F's as F7M (x33210) but F sounds good too
There's a melody that can be added on top of the intro chords, but it's
quite simple and you're all intelligent people, so I'm sure you'll figure it
out!
Intro
C5 E5 F5 G5 C5
Verse 1
C5 E5
The thrill here is quicker than you'd think
F5
The way some jet-lagged bar kept pouring the wine
C5 G5
From over their heads then sit back down again
C5 E5
Four times is once too much for luck
F5
That's how many times the clock struck
C5 G5
I wandered home, saying your name
A5 * C5 A5 *
Verse 2
C5 E5
The arches here were built 'cause they don't fall
F5
The cat dead drawls to make you feel small
C5 G5
You might find your small soul
C5 E5
Leave the preaching to the president
The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet
F5
I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is
C5 G5
So don't feed me more
Chorus 1
E5 F5 C5
You'll be having my head, big as a birthday
E5 F5 C5 G5
'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane
A5 * C5 G5
I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control
A5 * C5
I didn't know, I'm not invincible
(Intro chords)
Verse 3
C5 E5
And maybe some things are better left unsaid
F5 C5 G5
But if you wanted to test that, I will, yeah, I guess, I could've said
C5 E5
But there were nights in bars that I recall
F5
Your breath was courage laced with alcohol
C5 G5
You leaned in, you said,
Chorus 2
E5 F5 C5
"Make music with the chatter in here,
E5 F5 C5 G5
And whisper all the notes in my ears."
A5 * C5 G5
I didn't know, I didn't know the way of my tongue
A5 *
I didn't know, I didn't know what I'd done

Verse 4
( C5 ) E5
The lights here are softer than you'd think
F5
The dim lit peacocks in the trees,
C5 G5
They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me
C5 E5
But if my eyes were on my back
F5
I know what I'd be looking at
C5 G5
Through every shade of brown and green
Outro
A5 * C5 G5
I didn't know, I didn't know it was nothing new

I didn't know, I didn't know it was you
