Farewell Wanderlust

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

          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

  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

        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

        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

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

  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    N.C.
And this here is not singing, I’m just screaming in tune

        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?

Am  F  G  E  Dm  Am

          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
