The xx - Shelter (XX-2009)
F Am
I find shelter, in this way
F Am
Under cover, hide away
F Am
Can you hear, when I say?
F Am
I have never felt this way
Chorus:
F Dm
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Am C
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
F Dm
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Am C
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
F Am
Could I be, was I there?
F Am
It felt so crystal in the air
F Am
I still want to drown, whenever you leave
F Am
Please teach me gently, how to breathe
Am F
And I'll cross oceans, like never before
Dm Am
So you can feel the way I feel it too
Am F
And I'll mirror images back at you
Dm Am
So you can see the way I feel it too
Chorus:
F Dm
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Am C
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
F Dm
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Am C
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
F Dm
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Am C
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
F Am
I find shelter, in this way
F Am
Under cover, hide away
F Am
Can you hear, when I say?
F Am
I have never felt this way
