[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C][F][C][Am][C][G][F][Dm]
[F][C][Dm][F][C][Dm][F][C][Dm]
[F][C][F][Dm]

[Verse 1]
I pushed your head [Dm]down, [F]flat onto the page
[Dm]I held the weapon,
[F]flat against your fac[Dm]e
I remembered [F]the promise
that I had [Dm]made
And turned the pen back,
[F]back onto myself

[Verse 2]
So you [Am]can stick your words [F]of comfort
And you can [Dm]take your well wishes [F]too
[C]We're singing "Al[Am]lez les blu[F]es"
[C]'Cause they [Dm]hold me closer than
[F]you would ever [C]do[Dm]
Al[F]lez les [C]blues[Dm]

[Verse 3]
I know your [Dm]shape and [F]I know your size
You [Dm]are the weight of the concrete
boots that [Am]pulled [F]me under the tide
And [G]now [Dm]you're marching on to a different drum,
leaving my [F]body here without a beat
A body [Dm]drained of all feeling can
be [F]nothing but a piece of meat

[Verse 4]
So you [Am]can stick your words [F]of comfort
And you can [Dm]take your
well [F]wishes too
We're [C]singing [Am]"Allez les [F]blues"
'Cause they [Dm]hold me closer
than [F]you would ever [C]do
[Dm]Allez les [F]blues
[C]They hol[Dm]d me closer than
[F]you would ever [C]do[Dm]
Al[F]lez [C]les blues

[Verse 5]
This [Am]lump in my throat [G]is
a knot that you tied
[F]With a flick of your tongue and
[C]a wink of your eye
This [Am]lump in my [Asus4]throat
[Am]is a kno[G]t that you t[C]ied
[F]With a flick of your tongue and
[C]a wink of your eye
[Am](I've been sitting sidesaddle [Asus4]on
[Am]the devil's chair)
(I've been [G]muddy[C]ing upholstery,
he didn't care)
(We've been [F]clinking glasses right
into the dead of night)
(He burns [C]a fire, keeps me warm and
keeps my heart [Am]alight)
(I've been sitting sidesaddle on
the devil's chair)
(I've been [G]muddy[C]ing upholstery,
he didn't care)
[F](We've been clinking glasses right
into the dead of night)
He burns [Dm]a fir[F]e, keeps m[C]e wa[Dm]rm and[F][C]
[Dm]keeps [F]my heart [C]alight
[Dm][F][C]

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
You pushed my head [Dsus4]down,
[Dm]flat[F] onto the page
[Dm]You held the weapon,
[F]flat to my fac[Dm]e
You remembered the [Dsus4]promise
[Dm]that[F] you would break
And [Dm]now the black [F]blood runs through my veins

[Interlude 1]

[F][Dm][F][C][Dm][F][C]

[Verse 7]
'Cause they [Dm]hold me closer
than [F]you would ever [C]do
[Dm]Allez les [F]blues[C]
They [Dm]hold me closer than
[F]you would ever [C]do[Dm]
Al[F]lez les [C]blues
