The Oh Hellos – In Memoriam (Guitar)

D Bm x2
(Start on last Bm)

Bm           D                         Bm
well, it's a long way out to reach the sea 

             D                               Bm
but I'm sure I'll find you waiting there for me 

            D                     A
and by the time I blink, I'll see your wild arms swinging 

         Bm                          G
just to meet me in the middle of the road 

           Bm                                G
and you'll hold me like you'll never let me go 

        Bm                           A
and beside the salty water, I could hold you close, 

            D                    Bm
but you are far too beautiful to love me 

       D                        Bm
it's a long climb up the dusty mountain 

           D                    Bm 
to build a turret tall enough to keep you out 

             D                           A
but when you wage your wars against the one who adores you, 

            Bm                           G
then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth 

         Bm                        G
but I've never been a wealthy one before 

         Bm                      A
I've got holes in my pockets burned by liars' gold, 

                D                       Bm
and I think I'm far too poor for you to want me 

            D                         Bm
it's been a long road, losing all I've owned 

              D                              Bm
and you don't know what you've got until you're gone 

            D                     A
and it's a nasty habit, spending all you have, but 

            Bm                                G
when you're doing all the leaving, then it's never your love lost 

            Bm                                   G
and if you leave before the start, then there was never love at all

            Bm                                A
and heaven knows I'm prone to leave the only God I should have loved,

               D                     Bm
and yet you're far too beautiful to leave me
