Chords

Although it looks like there's a lot of chords this song is quite easy as it's mainly a progression downward from Db to Eb, then Ab and then it begins again. The verses follow a different structure but it's more straightforward. Kinda. [Intro] Dbadd9 Ab6/C Bbm7 Db/Ab / Gbadd9 Db/F Ebm7 Dbadd9 Ab6/C Bbm7 Db/Ab / Gbadd9 Db/F Ebm7 [Chorus]
Db  Ab/C  Bbm7 Db/Ab
You have tamed  me

Gbadd9 Db/F     Ebm7 Ab
Now    you must take me

Db  Ab/C     Bbm7 Db/Ab
How am I supposed to be

 Gbadd9 Db/F     Ebm7  Ab
I don't have my thorns now

   Db  Ab/C Bbm7 Db/Ab
I feel them sprouting

       Gbadd9        Db/F       Ebm7  Ab
They'll grow right though if I don't watch it

         Db          Ab/C         Bbm7 Db/Ab
They'll grow right through even if I   watch it

      Gbadd9  Db/F    Ebm7    Ab
And a sunset couldn't save me now
[Verse]
        Gb6         Ab         Bbm7
These baobabs and baobabs and baobabs some more

But you can't outwait fate
[Chorus]

And I wouldn't raise my child inside this city anyway

      Gb6          Ab           Bbm7         Db
They grow up too savvy and they grow up too fast

         Gb6         Ab                  Bbm7       Db
And they know about buying shit and they know about sex

          Gb6            Ab                      Bbm7            Db

          Gb6             Ab             Bbm7             Db
And they know about the numbers and they know about the words

          Gb6            Ab              Bbm7        Db
And they know about the bottom line and also about stones

          Gb6          Ab        Bbm7           Db
And they know about careers and about the real deals

              Gb6           Ab             Bbm7              Db
And they all grow up and become people's people with people skills
[Chorus]

I don't have my thorns now

Db  Ab/C  Bbm7 Db/Ab
You have tamed  me

I don't have my thorns
