FRIENDLY APES - Atlas Genius
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm losing you in lust
See it
Gm7
Strangers sleeping in my bed,
Am7 Bbmaj7
It should have been you instead
Gm7 Am7 Bbmaj7
All alone in the sweats with eyes I've never met
Gm7 Am7
I've been losing pieces of your face
Bbmaj7
I'm losing you, I'm losing you in lust
Gm7 Am7
Once distinct but how the memory fades
Bbmaj7 Dm C
I'm losing you, I'm losing you in lust
Bbmaj7 Gm7 Dm
It's just an option not to stay
C
Not a phase
Bmaj7 Gm7 Dm
It's just a chance you'll have to take
C
Not a phase
Gm7
Strange to sleep in this bed
Bbmaj7
I wonder what the lines of the ceiling meant
Gm7
Sign me up for regret
Am7 Bbmaj7
That's you up there if you makes the bed
Gm7 Am7
I've been losing pieces of your face
Bbmaj7
I'm losing you, I'm losing you in lust
Gm7 Am7 Bmaj7
Once distinct but how the memory fades
Dm C
I'm losing you in lust
Bbmaj7 Gm7 Dm
It's just an option not to stay
C
Not a phase
Bmaj7 Gm7 Dm
It's just a chance you'll have to take
C
Not a phase
Bbmaj7
And now love isn't right
Gm7 Dm
And now I'm fucking time
C
Not a phase
Bbmaj7 Gm7 Dm
It's just a chance you had to take
C
Not a phase
