Intro 1
(B flat minor) (A minor)
Verse 1
Salt (A minor) coast, foul wind
Old ghosts, scrap tin
Leaves, rain
Leaves, rain
Salt coast, foul wind
Old ghosts, scrap tin
Leaves, rain
Leaves, rain
Verse 2
All dressed up with nowhere (A minor) to go
(C major) I love your sleeve pulling nervousness
I love (D major) the way you crumble
into chalk at your edges
I love (F major) the way you fade into a
sky that is as endless
(Gsus2) As your (A minor) willingness to try
Keep going (C major) and it will get better
I love the way (D major) you push to get clear
I love the way you dance
(F major) to get strong
Ancient
(Gsus2) Slick (A minor) clay, rock formed,
wet sand, moss- borne
What (C major) came before
And what will come after (D major)
(Dsus4) Be neath the orderly (D major) queues,
the bad moods, the nice views
(F major) The have- nots and have twos,
the night shifts (Gsus2) in (A minor) flat shoes
The discarded masks, the empty tube (C major) s
The colds, the flus, the reds, the blues,
the buy to let, (D major) the play to lose
The White Ace, the Grey Goose,
the Michelin starred, (F major) the fast food
The straight lies, the strange (Gsus2) truth (A minor)
I can hear the deep rasp of your laughter, (C major)
joyful
Beneath the stifled resent (D major)
ments and micro aggressions
All part of the fabric
The (F major) tension woven so tight
it defies its dimen (Gsus2) sion
(A minor) The see but don't feel
The know but (C major) don't mention
There you are, hedonistic,
(D major) self destructive, insecure
Try (F major) ing to get away from the mistakes
you've made before
Verse 3
Salt (F major) coast, foul wind
Old (G major) ghosts, scrap tin
(E minor) Leaves, rain
Leaves, (F major) rain
Salt coast, foul wind
Old ghosts, (G major) scrap tin
(E minor) Leaves, rain
Leaves, (F major) rain (A minor)
Verse 4
Veering into change (A minor)
I appreciate (C major) your efforts
Acknowledging your privilege
But prone (D major) to back- stepping
Sure, it's not by our past (F major) that
our future will be measured
It's by the very (Gsus2) mo (A minor) ment that we're slumping in,
disheveled
Six hours in (C major) to some TV show
that tastes like the feeling of pizza (D major)
I know what you reach for (F major)
All dressed up with nowhere to go (Gsus2)
(A minor) Benched, waiting for a
path to open up (C major)
Waiting for a thing that might
make you old enough
(D major) To get into the pub
Where people drink to lost youth (F major)
I see you,
scraping the gravel in (Gsus2) your Air (A minor) Max
So beautiful, so chaotic, (C major) so grounded
Home
(D major) Concrete and loam
Brick dust and loans
Wood floor (F major) s
Screen doors
And a place of your own
Pay (Gsus2) it off (A minor) the rest of your life,
but who's asking? (C major)
Restless, the damp night approaching
Distilling (D major) the heat
Too long on your feet
Now you want to be free (F major)
From the strain of what's
done in your name
Every (Gsus2) single (A minor) inch of you
is somebody's claim
(C major) The familiar refrain
Of their glory and your (D major) shame
You (D minor) just want (D major) to keep moving,
the energy con (F major) tained
Is spilling out and making
trouble for you (Gsus2)
(A minor) Nothing is the same
You got out from underneath
the weight (C major) of suffer and obey
The tyranny and hate (D major) of Britannia
rules the waves
And now you swing (F major) your hips as you
go strutting down the lane (G major)
(A minor) I love you when I see you this plain (C major)
Verse 5
Your salt coast, (C major) your foul wind (D major)
Your old ghosts, your scrap tin
The (F major) browning of your leaves
And the greening of your rain
Salt coast, foul wind
Old (G major) ghosts, scrap tin
(E minor) Leaves, rain
(F major) Leaves, rain
Salt coast, foul wind
Old ghosts, (G major) scrap tin
(E minor) Leaves, rain
(F major) Leaves, rain
Outro 1
