[Verse]
F First loves don't leave you,
the needles & pins My phantom limb likes
to cry full of gin A She's a molten mistake,
Bb
lightning blue at the wake C She just hangs tight Gm7 And I meant what
I said at the foothills Fmaj7 Won't you walk me,
talk with me, give me tonight Gm7 Ancient ruins bullied
by sky scraper lights Fmaj7 Hungry & homeless
I creep into the glow of it's A Lonely, dying flame, [Chorus] D I think I want to G A Be the memory that you turn to Bm A When you're drunk and your empty
D
'cause you're mine G But at the same time
A
I want to forget you Bm A Take a gun to the mantle D And spin myself into
G
a storm of grey skies A I'll climb all the trees and
Bm A
I'll pray for a lightning strike D G Tamed into numbness,
A
it's what I have become since Bm A G The person you recognise [Verse]
Fmaj7 First loves conditioned
like poisonous fate With optimism
we just contradict A Was I just your mistake,
Bb
cinnamon to the taste C Bitter but graceful Gm7 You know I meant what
I said in the moment Fmaj7 But now I'm pendulum sentiments,
swaying while I cry Gm7 Destined for abattoirs,
lovers only live Fmaj7 A penny for your thoughts,
I would kill for a kiss A Lonely, dying flame, [Chorus]
D I think I want to G A Be the memory that you turn to Bm A When you're drunk and your empty
D
'cause you're mine G But at the same time
A
I want to forget you Bm A Take a gun to the mantle D And spin myself into a
G
storm of grey skies A I'll climb all the trees and
Bm A
I'll pray for a lightning strike D G Tamed into numbness,
A
it's what I have become since Bm A G The person you recognise [Verse]
F First loves are lethal,
dilute all you like Reticent discontent
laboured in stride Dm Hear the acid rain dripping
Bb
down the water pipes to
C
the ocean floor Gm7 And I meant what
I said you're an angel Fmaj7 You were sent to me,
carefully right at the time Gm7 That I needed a petal
to throw into the fire Fmaj7 Something pretty and
impermanent that I could admire A Lonely, dying flame, [Chorus]
D I think I want to G
Be the memory
A
that you turn to Bm When you're drunk and
A D
your empty 'cause you're mine G But at the same time
A
I want to forget you Bm A Take a gun to the mantle D And spin myself into
G
a storm of grey skies A I'll climb all the trees
Bm A
and I'll pray for a lightning strike D G Tamed into numbness,
A
it's what I have become since Bm A The person you recognise G dun cheerssssss
