[Intro]
G F/A Csus2/G C/G G F/A F G Dm Csus2/G Eb
[Verse 1]
G F/A
All the girls around me said you were gonna be there
Csus2/G C/G
Seattle moonlight motel, a rattlesnake the evening
G F/A
I smelled it in the wind, I can taste it in a cocktail
F G
She'll call me, I know she will look for me
Dm C Eb
[Verse 2]
G F/A
All the air that drowned me, it said a little secret
Csus2/G C
A sunken giant sleeps off the coast of California
G F/A
Go down the blue ravine where the way is steep and broken
F G
She'll call me, I know she will look for me
[Chorus]
F/A G
And they say that it doesn't look good
F G
They say that it doesn't look good for me
Dm Csus2/G Eb
[Verse 3]
G F/A
Like if I were a knight I'd hallucinate a movie
Csus2/G C
My CineColor baby, the lace sticks to your body
G F/A
Battlefields of death fought for palaces of money
C C
The song had my heart racing, the wine got my head heavy
G F/A
My sword became so bloody, I don't know what I've done
F G
Would you see me my love, would you wait for me?
F/A G
Would you stand by the high prison gate for me?
[Chorus]
F G
Well they tell me it doesn't look great
F G
And they say that it doesn't look great for me
Dm Csus2/G C/G Eb
[Verse 4]
G F/A
Like a breath of fall on your weekend,
C
I'm high F/A C
G
I said "you know it's great to be worth it or to fall behind
[refrain]
G C
Washed away
G C
Washed away
G C
Washed away"
[Verse 5]
G F/A
Oh, the breath escapes me, I'm shaking like a lost thing
Csus2/G C
Invaded by your face, overtaken by a feeling
G F/A
I saw the sky, it's spinning, I heard the branches snapping
F G
She'll call me, I know she would look for me
[Chorus]
F/A G
And they say that it doesn't look good
F G
Well they say that it doesn't look good for me
Dm Csus2/G Eb
