One of my all time favourite Florence songs and most people don't even know it exists! I'm really not 100%
sure these are the right – did it all by ear – but I think it's pretty close...
[Verse 1]
Dm Old hope G Got stuck in your throat C F Wound its way around your neck F Dm And caused you to choke G Old hope C Made of rope Fmaj7 Gm Dm That held you tight when the chair legs broke
[Chorus]
Dm When they found you hanging in the wood Gm You said at least now I don't have to be kind or good F Dm I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene C Tear out my tongue Gm Dm Cause I've been redeemed Dm When they found you hanging in the wood Gm You said at least now I don't have to be kind or good F Dm I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene Gm Tear out my tongue C7 C Dm Cause I've been redeemed
[Verse 2]
Dm G Save my blushes for the grave C F No shy glance, no coy restraint Dm And I won't hang my head C And I won't repent F Gm C Won't face the wall and count to ten
N.C.
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
[Bridge]
Dm Well they tore you down G And they tore out your tongue C And they made you kneel F For all the things that you'd done Dm But you wouldn't cry C And you would't beg F You just grinned C Gm Dm And tore out your teeth instead
[Chorus]
Dm And when they found you hanging in the wood Gm You said at least now I don't have to be kind or good F Dm I'll be cruel and I'll be obscene Gm Tear out my tongue C Cause I've been redeemed
[Outro]
Dm I don't have to sit down and behave Gm Cause my darling I've been saved
