Hozier – Jackie And Wilson (Guitar)

C           Dm                          F            (C/E)
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes

C                    Dm         Em         F         (C/E)
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight

C                Dm  Em             F               
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine

      Dm          F      C
For reasons wretched and divine

C          Dm                    F               (C/E)
She blows out of nowhere roman candle of the wild

C         Dm     Em         F           (C/E)
Laughing away through my feeble disguise

C            Dm        Em             F         
No other version of me I would rather be tonight

     Dm              F    C
And lord she found me just in time

               Am      E            F
Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done

               Bb                          Bb    B   C
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause god I never felt young

C         Dm                   F                                 (C/E)
She's gonna save me, call me 'baby', run her hands through my hair

C         Dm                     F                               
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, better yet she wouldn't care

Am          G       Em        F                                  (C/E)
We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives, ride 'round picking up clues

C          Dm                       F
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise 'em on rhythm and blues

C             Dm                         F               (C/E)
Lord it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime

C           Dm  Em     F                           (C/E)
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine

C                Dm  Em              F                 
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside

Dm                 F        C
Sit back and watch the world go by

      Am   E              F
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust

Bb                               Bb    B  C
We tried the world good god it wasn't for us

C         Dm                   F                                 (C/E)
She's gonna save me, call me 'baby', run her hands through my hair

C         Dm                     F                               
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, better yet she wouldn't care

Am          G       Em       F                                  (C/E)
We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives, ride 'round picking up clues

C          Dm                       F

C            Dm                    F               (C/E)
Cut clean from the dream at night let my mind reset

C               Dm                   F           (C/E)
Lookin' up from a cigarette and she's already left

C                     Dm   Em                 F                          
I start diggin' up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette

Dm                      F  C
For whatever poor soul is coming next

C         Dm                   F                                 (C/E)
She's gonna save me, call me 'baby', run her hands through my hair

C         Dm                     F                               
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, better yet she wouldn't care

Am          G       Em      F                                  (C/E)
We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives, ride 'round picking up clues

C          Dm                       F
