Chords

[Intro] C [Verse 1]
F                Am   C              Gsus4
  A place in the city, a chair and a bed

F            Am                 C                Gsus4
  I cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yet

F                     Am
  I wear smoke like a wedding veil

C                     Gsus4
  Make a meal I won't eat

           F                      Am
  Step out into the street, alone in a sea

C          Gsus4
  It comes over me
[Pre-Chorus]
        G
Oh, I'm missing you

          Am
Yeah, I'm missing you

G/B
   And all the things we used to do
[Chorus]
  F                Am                     
  MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up

C                                     Gsus4
  We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?

F                       Am                       C
  I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"

          Dm7                  
  Well, I want you just like that

F                        Am                          
  Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm and it knocks me out

C                               Gsus4
  I didn't know then that you'd never be enough, oh

F                      Am
  Since I was seventeen, I gave you everything

      C             
  Now, we wake from a dream

        Dm7   N.C.
  Well, baby, what was that?
[Post-Chorus]
F Am C Gsus4
            What was that?

F Am C Dm7
       Baby, what was that?
[Verse 2]
F                          Am
  Do you know you're still with me

C                      Gsus4
  When I'm out with my friends?

F                  Am
  I stare at their painted faces

       C              Gsus4
  They talk current affairs

F                          Am
  You had to know this was happening

C                        Gsus4
  You weren't feeling my heat

           F                          Am
  When I'm in the blue light, down at Baby's All Right

    C         Gsus4
  I face reality
[Pre-Chorus]
  F              Am
I try (I try) to let (to let)

    C           Gsus4                  F
Whatever has to pass through me pass through

             Am                C
But this is staying a while, I know

   Gsus4
It might not let me go
N.C. [Chorus]
  F                Am                        
  MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up

C                                     Gsus4
  We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?

F                       Am                       C
  I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"

          Dm7
  Well, I want you just like that

F                        Am                   
  Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm and it knocks me out

C                               Gsus4
  I didn't know then that you'd never be enough, oh

F                      Am
  Since I was seventeen, I gave you everything

      C                         
  Now, we wake from a dream 

        Dm7
  Well, baby, what was that?
[Post-Chorus]
F Am C Gsus4
            What was that?

F Am C         Dm7                    
      'Cause I want you just like that 

          F                        Am              C Gsus4
(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)
What was that?
          F                        Am              C
(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)

Dm7           
Baby, what was that?
[Outro] C
