Macklemore - Neon Cathedral Chords

[Verse 1]
N.C.
Uh-huh, um, 1-2, now
Am
   'Round here they sing broken hymns
      Am                               D
Their prayers flow better when they're soaked in gin
          Em
The amp's dusty and sits in the corner
                           Em
By a bartender that’ll pickpocket your heart
 
And a jukebox that’ll steal your quarter
Am
   Bartender, please give me a confession
  Am                             D
Exchange fear for courage in the form of a well drink
Em
   There’s a heavy current, got a long way to swim
           D
Closed the Bible a while ago, I need some shots for this sin
     Am
Hail Mary, come with me, feel like Pac when it hits
         Am
Got some fire in my belly and a riot in the gut
    Em
Bushmills for a band-aid, the sweet taste of blood
             D
Then I might actually feel something if I don’t cover it up
Am
   Rusted faces, familiar places
     Am                             D
Even if they haven’t left the vinyl booth that they stayed in
    Em
The motel next door, a sign that reads vacant
      Em                              D
And a truth that’s so strong I’d be a fool not to chase it
Am
   But yea, I’m a fool and I stay here
Am                                    D
Hope these problems drown themselves,   I die in wait here
Em
   One more, four more, f**k it, a night cap
Em                           D                         Am
Service starts at 5 tomorrow   and I’ll be right back

     D                  C
Underneath this fragile frame
               D       Em
Lives a battle between pride and shame
            D                    C
But I’ve misplaced that sense of pride
              D                  Em
This crown of thorns is perched atop my spine
D                         C
  But listen closely as I testify
        D             Em
Dependency has been a thief at night
         D               C       D
Thief at night, thief at night
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
   I read the Bible but I forgot the verses
D
   The liquor store is open later than the church is
Em
Pure by their imperfections, everything is burning
   D
To hell with the confessions, all the Lord Have Mercys
G
Blessed in holy water, the sin, oh Holy Father
D
Have you ever smelled flesh that sweats out Monarch vodka?
 Em
Eleven AM in the morning and you can’t get it off ya
D
Calling to the preacher but it’s like the pastor isn’t talking
  G
Until the store opens and I can re-up on that doctrine
    D
The people close to me say that I’m in need of a doctor
Em
Think that I got a problem but these are not apostles
D
This is the drink of the Lord, that’s according to my gospel
G
Open to interpretation, if you’re judging it I don’t want it
      D
I got sins that scald like my throat when I hit the bottle
        Em
And I’m sinking and that’s why I keep on drinking
         D
I need a refill, far more than once every weekend
G
   Sweet Jesus, I’m getting amnesia
D
Shaking til I’d get a taste, my faith is having seizures
Em
   Every time I walk away and try to leave it
D
   Every time I walk away and try to leave it
G
   Wouldn’t miss it for the world
D
Baptized in my vices and the bar is my church
Em
   Traded my artist and I pawned off the easel
         D
Spend it all searching for God at the Neon Cathedral
G
   Wouldn’t miss it for the world
D
Baptized in my vices and the bar is my church
Em
   Traded my artist and I pawned off the easel
         D
Spend it all searching for God, Neon Cathedral
G                  D
   Neon Cathedral

                        Em     D
Underneath this fragile frame
                       G                D
Lives a battle between pride and shame
                                 Em     D
But I’ve misplaced that sense of pride
                              G             D

                      Em
Dependency has been a thief at night
         D               C       D
Thief at night, thief at night
                      Em
Dependency has been a thief at night
         D               C       D
Thief at night, thief at night
                      G
Dependency has been a thief at night
         D               Em
Thief at night, thief at night
