Elway - Folly After Death Chords

[Intro]
B C#m G#m F# B F# G#m F#  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
G#m                  E
   I recoil at every detail
  F#               E
Recounting all the sighs
       B    G#m
I’ve exhaled   I piece
             E
together the tale
       F#
In the tidelines of
    E              B
the ships that set sail
 
 
[Verse 2]
     G#m
With notes tucked into pockets
      E
Under wipers between sheets
              F#
or bike spokes  And every
E         B          G#m
couplet I wrote The ephemera
of past lives plastic
E
trinkets artifacts that I
     F#            E
stole  To feed the candle I hold
 
 
[Instrumental]
B C#m G#m F# B F# G#m F#
 
 
[Verse 3]
E           F#
  I held my breath like
      G#m           F#
folly chasing after death
          E
Until the only thing that’s
F#             G#m E
left to do was run  I bit my
F#              G#m
tongue until my mouth was
        F#             E
full of blood Til everything
         F#             B
and everyone I knew was gone
 
 
[Chorus 1]
    E                B
Now Denver in winter dreams
     G#m    F#     E
in a dull metallic blue
   E                   B
It blacks out the bravery
     G#m     F#  E
I am forever overdue
       E             B
But if even just one word of
              G#m   F#
this barstool prophecy rings
E        E
true I’d like to watch
    F#
the lights go out with you
 
 
[Instrumental]
B C#m G#m F# B F# G#m F#
 
then
B
 
then
B D#m G#m B E D#m F#
 
 
[Bridge]
      B
I’d believe you if you
D#m          G#m     B
said We were already dead
      E              D#m
There was no hope of rescue
       F#            B
coming through I can purge
         F#/A#        G#m
my heavy head of the specters
      B           E
in my bed But the only
      F#             B
one I dream about is you
 
 
[Chorus 2/Outro]
    E                B
Now Denver in winter dreams
     G#m    F#     E
in a dull metallic blue
   E                   B
It blacks out the honesty
         G#m    F#  E
You were always overdue
       E             B
But if even just one word of
              G#m   F#
this barstool prophecy rings
E        E
true I’d like to watch
    F#                 B
the lights go out with you
