Florence + The Machine – One Of The Greats (Guitar)

  Dm              Dm7
I crawled up from under the earth

F                Am
Broken nails and coughing dirt

                Dm                       C       Db
Spitting out my songs so you could sing along, oh

                         Dm
And with each bedraggled breath, I knew I came back from the dead

   F                     Am
To show you how it's done

   Dm
To show you what it takes

                  C
To conquer and to crucify

     Db              Dm
To become one of the greats

           F     Am
One of the greats

  Dm                                    F
I kept a scream inside my chest, killed everyone I'd ever kissed

Am                                        C
Hung them on the wall like trophies, each name, a stain upon my lips

  Dm                                    F
I told the truth but could never see it through

            Am                             C
You see yourself hung on the wall but that song is not about you

        Dm                                F
I wrote down all my fumbling visions transmitted by a television

    Am                                C                            Dm
Got everything I thought I wanted and cried hungover in a hotel closet

             F                   Am
Did I get it right? Do I win the prize?

         C
Do you regret bringing me back to life?

Dm                      F
Arms outstretched, back from the dead

Am                    C
Streetlights bursting overhead

Dm                      F
Arms outstretched, back from the dead

Am                    C
Streetlights bursting overhead

  Dm                                F
I did my best, tried to impress, my childhood dream made flesh

       Am                                   C
And my dresses and my flowering sadness, so like a woman to profit from her

Dm                             F                      Am             C
Madness - I was only beautiful under the lights, only powerful there

       Dm                F
Burned down at thirty-six

                   Am          C
Why did you dig me up for this?

Dm                      F
Arms outstretched, back from the dead

Am                    C
Streetlights bursting overhead

Dm                      F
Arms outstretched, back from the dead

Am                    C
Streetlights bursting overhead

                 Dm                          F
You'll bury me again, you'll say it's all pretend

                      Am                         C          Dm
That I could never be great being held up against such male tastes

                   F                     Am                 C
Because who really gets to be one of the greats, one of the greats?

         Dm                       F
But I've really done it this time, this one is all mine

         Am
I'll be up there with the man and the ten other women

        C                               Dm
And the hundred greatest records of all time

           F                         Am                  C
It must be nice to be a man and make boring music just because you can

                 Dm           F
Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan

          Am               C
You're my second favourite front-man

              Dm             F                     Am
And you could have me if you weren't so afraid of me

               C                         Dm
It's funny how men don't find power very sexy

           F          Am
So this one's for the ladies

     C         Dm     F
Do I drive you crazy?

             Am     C
Did I get it right?

             Dm
Did I get it right?

             F
Do I win the prize?

         Am                       C
Do you regret bringing me back to life?

             Dm
Did I get it right?

             F
Do I win the prize?

         Am                       C
Do you regret bringing me back to life?

Dm                      F
Arms outstretched, back from the dead

Am                    C
Streetlights bursting overhead

Dm                      F
Arms outstretched, back from the dead

Am                    C
Streetlights bursting . . .

                Dm
Too feminine to function

  F                    Am    C
A pile of bodies and a trail 

      Dm      F    Am    C
Of destruction

                     Dm                       F
I will let the light in, I will let some love in

          Am                C
I will be happy, it will be perfect

                     Dm                       F
I will let the light in, I will let some love in

          Am                C
I will be happy, it will be perfect

                     Dm
I will let the light in... 

Dm                      F
Arms outstretched, back from the dead

Am                    C
Streetlights bursting overhead

Dm                      F
Arms outstretched, back from the dead

Am                    C
Streetlights bursting overhead
