Farewell Wanderlust

Am  Dm  E

    Am                         
You look like I need a drink he 
 Dm
winked as he slipped from my 
grasp to the bar
        E
And you are?
        Am
He said me? (me) Little me? (little 
me)
   Dm
He called from the brink of the day

(He called from the brink of the 
day)
         E
He said ´Hey darling hey, hey 
darling hey´

I’m the hardest goodbye that you’ll 
ever have to say


[Verse 1]
          Am
You don’t know it yet, but I’m the 
cupid of things
         G
That you just didn’t get, that you 
struggled to say
        F
I’m the saint of the paint that was 
left in the pot
         E
I’m your angel ellipsis, your devil 
of dots

      Am
Every time that you fumble, I’m the 
laugh from the back
         G
When you think about him, my wings 
start to flap
         F
When you make a mistake, my feet 
lift from the floor
             E
And when you lie there awake every 
night love, I soar


[Pre-Chorus]
  Am
I promise you I’ll be better
  G
I promise you I’ll try
         F
But like rubbing wine stains into 
rugs it’s my curse
   E
To try and make it right, but by 
trying make it worse

        Am
I’m the heartbreak that aches far 
too much to be shunned
          G
All those letters unsent and that 
garden ungrown
Continúa después del anuncio
        F
I’m the captain of courage you’ve 
eternally lacked
        E
I’m the Jesus of wishing to Christ 
he’ll come back


[Chorus]
        Am                         
Because Farewell Wanderlust, you’ve
 F
 been oh so kind
     Dm                            
You brought me to this party but 
    E
you left me here behind
Am                    F
So long to the person you begged me 
to be
         Dm           Dm
She’s down. She’s dead
   E
Instead what is left but this old 
satin dress
        E
and the mess that you left when you 
told me I wasn’t right in the head


[Post-Chorus]
        Am
´You alright?´
          Dm
Asked the boys from beyond
    E
You gave us such a fright
     Dm
We’d hate to see your mascara drip 
into your pint
Am                              
Might you allow me to slip into 
Dm
something more comfortable then?
              E
Be our guest. With hoik of her bra, 
she waved to the bar and she slipped
 into the night


[Verse 2]
Am
Come devil come, she sang, call out 
my name
      G
Let’s take this outside cos we’re 
one and the same
    F
Our gods have abandoned us, left us,
 instead
        E
Take up arms, take my hand, let us 
waltz for the dead

        Am
I’m the face that stares back when 
the screen goes to black
              G
When your mum says ‘you look 
healthy’ but you know she means you 
got fat
        F
I’m the tales that the guests will 
applaud and believe
        E
I’m the child that you just didn’t 
have time to conceive


[Pre-Chorus]
  Am
I promise you I’m not broken
  G
I promise you there’s more
        F                       
More to come, more to reach for, 
         E
more to hurl at the door

    Am
Goodbye to all my darkness, there’s 
nothing here but light
 G
Adieu to all the faceless things 
that sleep with me at night
     F
This here is not make up, it’s a 
porcelain tomb
         E    N.C.
And this here is not singing, I’m 
just screaming in tune


[Chorus]
        Am                   F
Because Farewell Wanderlust, you’ve 
been ever so kind
    Dm                             
You brought me through this 
          E
darkness but you left me here behind
    Am                    F
And so long to the person you begged
 me to be
       Dm         Dm
He’s down. He’s dead
    E
Now take a good long look at what 
you’ve done to me?


[Instrumental]
Am  F  G  E  Dm  Am


[Otro]
          Dm           Dm
S/He’s down, S/He’s dead
          E             E
S/He’s gone, S/He’s lost
           Dm           Dm
S/He’s flown, S/he’s fled
    E                            
Now take a good long look at what 
                     Am
you've all done to me
