Black Country, New Road – Socks (Guitar)

  D
I thought it once

  A
I thought it well

    D
And maybe even

C#     A
Time could tell

     G              Gaug
That all I know and all I've known

      D
Could fit into a

A      G#   G
Little tiny box

    G       D           Em        D    Em    D
And all the world would laugh and lose their socks

G        Eb             G              D                C               C
How many things can one read till they feel they're not afraid of it all?

G        Eb       G           Eb      Cmaj7
How many cases of words? Am I being absurd? Doing fine

             Cmaj7
I'm having a whale of a time

           Eb          Db              Eb              C
But if the world could consume all the things that you knew

        C          Db
We'd be living the life

     Eb           C/E
A contender for a wife

        Fm       Edim
We'd be having a laugh

Fm     Eb              C      Bbm
Wish I could make them laugh, mm-mmm

   Bbm        Cm        Ab
In joke there comes the truth

         Bbm     Eb    Ab
I am not blinded by my youth

     Db/F      Eb/G      Ab
The five years had their time

                 Bbm
But you sit in a lane much like mine

         Bb     F/A      Eb/G
For when all is said and done

       F
What's left is

Bb     F/A     Gm                F
Far beyond the problems that are listed

   Bb     F
It may be easy

Gm      F
Just believe me

     Bb       F/A     Gm                F
That our life holds a light no life has held before

G                  Eb
Maybe I speak in a way

                   G                     Eb
That makes it seem like I was born yesterday

             C              C C D
But I'm not afraid of it all

G            Eb           G          Eb              C
There'll be another who's seen every colour but it's all in the shade

            Cm
Look at the life that we've made

C
No word or phrase

        C        C            Fm
Has the power to say what the tie is we share

         Ab           C        Db/F
It's far greater than rare, oh yeah

   Bbm        Eb        Ab
In dark there comes the light

            C#       Eb      Ab
And we must try with all our might

   Db        Eb    Ab
To keep this thing alive

               Bb
We've got that house by the bay

                      Fm
There's no place that I'd rather stay

                Bb
I'll stay there right till the day where you shall

            Eb
I too shall pass

                Bb
All things must pass

     Eb
Like days

               F      Bb           F
They pass from one to another and another

Gm             F
I will love no other, no

Bb
No

Gm                 F
I know now, I know now that, yeah, that

Bb      Dm         Gm        F
Life is good and I feel understood

Bb             F/A           Gm
Do you? If you don't, let me know

                       F
And now here comes the chorus

         Bb     F/A      Gm
For when all is said and done

       F
What's left is

Bb    F/A      Gm                F
Far beyond the problems that are listed

Bb
It may be easy

A7                          Bb      Bb A
Just, baby, believe me that our life

Bb                F/A           Gm         F
If time was on my side, I would ask him to return

     Bb           F/A         Gm
To a moment which holds for us

           F
A great concern

      Bb        F/A
Which moment to pick?

      Gm        F
Which time to select?

          Eb      Bb/D    Cm
There are so many chances steeped in regret

      Bb                F/A                  Gm           F
No matter which one you choose, baby, you're always gonna lose

             Eb              Bb/D
Well, that's what the demons say

        Cm7              C7     Bb F/A Gm F
I never liked those guys anyway
