Chords

[Intro] C Em x2 [Part I: Benedicente] [Verse 1]
C
 Didn’t hallucinate, it wasn’t strange

Em
 Inside the lines I drew, been staying in my lane

C
 Wasn’t assigned to me, I’m not to blame

Em
Brown bottles of Jameson, grey ashes in a tray I put out
[Chorus]
C
 Got cancer sick, got on a plane

Em
Visited the Vatican to watch the pontiff wave

           Ab                                   Fm
And he say, “Benedicente, benedicente, benedicente"

                 C
On a long hot Sunday
[Part II: Agotante] [Verse 2]
C
 Got to get out of here, I can’t remain

Em
Limbs, they hang like chandeliers from alcohol and age

C
 Down in the weeds again, tough to explain

Em
Mattress soaked in gasoline makes iridescent flames, I lay down
[Chorus]
C
 I’ll ask my love, what will she say?

Em
What’s it like to live with me here every fucking day?

              Ab                           Fm
But she stays; “Agotante, agotante, agotante”

                    C
In her most gentle way
[Bridge]
Fm                              C
 Still think of New York every time

Fm                             C                  G
 I see your face now, it just feels like another life

    C   Gm           Ab        Fm
I’m up late with an imaginary pain

  C                 Gm
Always did come in waves

           Ab                           Fm             C
All that’s constant is, constant is, constant is that change
[Solo] C Em Am Ab [Part III: Éphémère] [Verse 3]
C
 Just grab the kids real quick, can’t start the car

Em
Fading like a photograph, your taillights in the dark

C
 There’s nothing left no more to tear apart

Em
Agonies are infinite and sympathies just aren’t, they run out
[Chorus]
C
 I’ve seen that void, tried not to stare

        Em
There’s bodies in the Bataclan, there’s music in the air

              Ab                                  Fm
And they sing, “Éphémère, éphémère, éphémère, éphémère”

                     C
And “Wish You Were Here”
[Bridge]
Fm                                  C
 Enough blood to fill up this fish bowl

Fm                                      C                      G
 Keep swimming around, the exit’s blocked, there’s nowhere to go

           C    Gm   Ab          Fm
All these same fears year after year

        C              Gm
All the old ones reappear

     Ab                              Fm                       C
Only difference is, difference is, difference is, you’re not here
[Outro] C Em Ab Fm x2 C
