[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
