The Future Islands - Aladdin Chords

[Intro]
 
F                         Am       C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Same as Intro
 
F
Doubled the top knot flew out the lattice door
Am           C
Do what he wouldn't, do what he couldn't do
F
No lack of wouldn't could be my undoing
Am       C
No lack of trying, no lack of sighing loo
F
Weave songs of loving, late dream songs of dying
Am                       C
Recite the oakwood flame, rings count my olden days
F
I've seen the beaches breached the peak of please and thanks
Am                      C
I've seen my features age, my fingers strange
 
F              Am       C
 
~~~           From the dew
 
F                                Am        C
From the dew of the fields we grew
F
And I built a ship for two
Am             C
It waits for me and you
F
From the dew of the fields
 
Am   C
 
~~~~~       Is it real? Is it real?
 
 
 
[Chorus] (There's a quick C between the Em and the G here, accented when he says "SHOW you the way")
 
 
Em    C  G
~~~~~~~              I'll show you the way
 
C                                G
Just walk beside the low stream until it fades
             C
Into a melon colored field
             G
The wind will know your name
             C
And you don't have to run
           Em
You don't have to change
                        F
Don't ever change
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F                        Am               C
We were the candles that lit up the snow on dusty roads
F                         Am              C
We were the animals breathing life into June just to see faith
F                         Am              C
Blessed by the cannibal moon and the spoon dipping deep to your nose
F                         Am              C
Stressed by the distance of shoes and the bridges too far to be named
 
F                                Am               C
~~~~~                  Was it real?
 
F
When we held our hands close to flame
          Am           C
Just to feel
 
[Chorus]
Em             C    G
I'll show you the way
       C                                       G
Just walk beside the low stream until it fades
          C
Into a honey colored field
            G
The wind will know your name
      C
And you don't have to change
      G
You don't have to change
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em
Love is real
                  G
Our love was real
         C                          G
It's a hand, it's a hold, it's a shield
 
 
[Chorus]
Em
Our love was real
                G
Our love was real
       C                                Em
It's to hope, it's to dream, it's to heal
        G
It's to heal
 
End on G
