This is the chords of Farewell Wanderlust by The Amazing Devil on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Intro]
Am Dm E
Am Dm
You look like I need a drink he 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
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 F
Because Farewell Wanderlust, you’ve been oh so kind
Dm E
You brought me to this party but 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 Dm
Might you allow me to slip into 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 E
More to come, more to reach for, 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
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 E
You brought me through this 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
[Outro]
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 Am
Now take a good long look at what you\’ve all done to me
