Chords - The Amazing Devil

Think back to days in hidden caves

They’re still so small I gave them everything

They’d paint your eyes with sunsets

My saints, my sighs, my upsets, and the days I couldn’t cope

And the waves

Oh the waves

Remember they are safe

I forgot to pack them lunches

Think back to paddling pools and rainy days where they would

I need a drink or two

They’d harmonise with echoes Nor are you

With charcoal eyes, stilttos, they’re not ready

But th waves

Oh the waves

Oh

I don’t want them to go

Oh

Just tell them what your haggard mother told you long ago

Pick your chords well loves

But sing your notes off key

You can’t rehearse the chorus

But the verse is sweet

And if your voice begins to crack

If you ever feel alone

They might laugh because you’re leaving

But know we’ll sing your name when you come home

Remember today hey we did our best

I know they think I’m nightmare

Come paddle by the shore

I guessed pushed them pushed them all

You are your own magician, let the ocean give to you

And by my own admission, had no notion what to do

Its waves.

Oh the waves

Ah bollocks to your waves

Remember today you’re enough

Please don’t do this my heart is breaking

Know they love you you tried You did but So did they

But I raged so much But so did they

We built our castles just to watch them wash away

They are my rascals I can’t let them walk away

In the waves, oh the waves

Hold my hand

Oh

I need them to stay

Oh

Just remember those wicked words your mother used to say

Pick your chords well loves

But sing your notes off key

You dad will forget the words

And fucking bastard what is it

And if your voice begins to crack

And you ever feel alone

They might laugh because you’re leaving

But know we’ll sing your name when you come home

Walk into your waves my loves

Tell them all your names

Go tell them how we failed you

And gift to us all your blame

Cos we’ll be all that you hate about yourself

So you can grow

Cos life begins by leaving

And our love is shown in the letting go

Go walk into your dawn you snotrags

Tell them that we never cared

Go tell them how we fucked you up

And oh my god it’s so unfair

We were the winter nights

So you could be the morning snow

Your life begins by leaving

And our love is shown

In the letting go

Be good / be good

Be safe / be safe

Be kind / be kind

And know we’ll always love you

Even though you’re leaving us behind

Be good / be good

Be safe / be safe

Be kind / be kind

And know we’ll always love you

Even though you’re leaving us behind
