Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Intro: F Am G F
 
Verse:
          Am
Say it again the way you did back then
And Iʼll pretend that Iʼm not set alight by cadence
Am
Oh, we head back home to overdose on black coffee
Drinking in monochrome and spit out blasphemy
 
Pre-chorus:
Am
I wanna say it to you but I was unsure
G                                                                 F
Iʼve heard this breathing before, this pitching, preening carnivore
               E
Carni-, carni-, carnivore
Am                                                      G
Constantly praying to you, holding thirty silver
                                       F
Hoping you can read between these lines
                              E
Proselytised, just like the way that we always used to
 
Chorus:
F                                            Am
   We talk, we talk a superstition
                        C                     F
And itʼs one that Iʼm not sure enough
                                                   Am
I think thereʼs only darkness when you
               C              F
Die, die, die, die, die.
Grant me one respite
                                     Am
I live, I live in split-decisions
                   C                       F
When I canʼt relegate my mind
                                               Am
Iʼll pray to anything that gets me.
           C
By, by, by, by, by
                                Am E G
The art of dying twice.
 
Verse:
                  Am
We all fake fine
Dishonest all the way
                Am
I see your face
Hello again, old neural pathways
  Am                                                                    Am
Oh, weʼll act it out to charge the crowd attendance fees
Weʼll sell the rights then weʼll donate the proceeds
 
Pre-chorus:
Am
I wouldnʼt say it to you if I was unsure
G                                                                   F
Feels like weʼve been here before this wretched, indoor carnival
                         E
Carni-, carni-, carnival
Am                                                           G
 The last time I held my breath, it was at yours
                                               F
Wish that I could be like rust or broken glass
                                 E
At least they Do while I just sit somewhere in the middle
 
Chorus:
F                                            Am
   We talk, we talk a superstition
                        C                     F
And itʼs one that Iʼm not sure enough
                                                   Am
I think thereʼs only darkness when you
               C              F
Die, die, die, die, die.
Grant me one respite
                                     Am
I live, I live in split-decisions
                   C                       F
When I canʼt relegate my mind
                                          Am
Down on my knees to get me
           C             F   Am G   F   F   Am G   F
By, by, by, by, oh.
 
Outro:
      F                                                                 Am
And if you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you?
                               G
Could you take me with you?
                                    F
Oh, could you take me with you?
      F                                                                 Am
And if you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you?
                               G
Could you take me with you?
                                    F
Oh, could you take me with you?
 F                                                                Am
If you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you?
                              G
Could you take me with you?
                                    F
Oh, could you take me with you?
 F                                                                Am
If you gotta leave tonight, could you take me with you?
                              G
Could you take me with you?
                                    F
Oh, could you take me with you?
