The Jezabels - Got Velvet Chords

Tuning: standard

G F Am G (x4)

     C   G
Well bravo,
                       Am    F
You lit a light in my life,
                      Am    G
Raised them chips and railroads,
                     Am     F
Headed off into the night.
                           Am    G
But you were just like the government,
              Am     F
Lying all the time,
                          Am       G
With a shattered piece of way-back-when
                       C      F
Stuck, forever in your mind.

                   G         F
When, baby, it was you and me,
Am                G                         F
One step forward, two step fighting infidelity,
      Am        G
Which always is velvet-covered.

C  G
I woke,
                Am    F
I awoke into a ghost
                Am    G
Of a ship that sailed,
                         Am   F
But I'ma laugh it up the most,
                           Am    G
'Cause I no longer have to worry
                          C     F
'Bout the shadows on your walls.
                     Am        G
Can you remember how proud we were
                 F
Right before the fall?

                   G         F
When, baby, it was you and me,
Am                G                         F
One step forward, two step fighting infidelity,
        Am             G
Though, truly we don't mind
                        F
Sleeping on a different bed,
Am              G
Long as you got velvet covers.
                F
Shouting it out to remind you,
Am             G
Hangin' it out to dry.
