Florence And The Machine - Mermaids Chords

[Intro]
Dm F C x2
 
[Verse 1]
Dm                    F          G
 I thought that I was hungry for blood
Dm              F          G
 Maybe I'm just hungry for love
Dm                        G
 Tear from a woman on the shore
Am                             C
 You prairie ghost on a cottage hall
Dm                          G
 Oh, the mermaids have sharp teeth
Am                       C
 Razor blades all in your feet
 
[Instrumental]
Dm F A
Dm F A G
 
[Verse 2]
           Dm                F
England is only ever grey or green
                   A                    A
The girls glitter striding glorious and coatless in the rain
Dm                               F
I remember fallin' through these streets
                A                     A
Somewhat out of place, if not for the drunkenness
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            Dm                     F
It makes my chest hurt to think of it
       A                          A
Not of regret, but of missing that
 
[Chorus]
         Dm      F
Cheerful oblivion
         A       G
Cheerful oblivion
 
[Verse 3]
               Dm                           F
It was not all pain and pavement slick with rain
                  Am                           G
And shinin' under lights from sh*tty clubs and doing sh*tty drugs
            Dm                                     F   Am      G
And huggin' girls that smelled like Britney Spears and coconuts
              Dm                    F
And with your mermaid hair and your teeth so sharp
    Am                                 G
You crawled from the sea to break that sailor's heart
         Dm                      F
You only get one night up on the shore
   Am                             G
So dance like you've never danced before
        Dm                             F
And the dance floor is filling up with blood
         Am                            G
But, oh, Lord, you've never been so in love
 
[Chorus]
Dm F         Am     G
   Cheerful oblivion
         Dm      F
Cheerful oblivion
         Am      G
Cheerful oblivion
 
[Bridge]
    F
And mermaids, they come once a year
     G
They climb the struts of Brighton Pier
     Am
They come to drink, they come to dance
   Em
To sacrifice a human heart
        F                                G
And the world is so much wilder than you think
    Am                                    Am
You haven't seen nothin' 'til you seen an English girl drink
 
[Chorus]
Dm F         Am     G
   Cheerful oblivion
         Dm      F
Cheerful oblivion
         Am      G
Cheerful oblivion
         Dm      F
Cheerful oblivion
         Am      G
Cheerful oblivion
 
[Outro]
