The Man With The Axe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
If [G]I had to break it d[D]own
I'd say [F#m]it's the way y[G]ou love to dance
Mov[Gm]ing t[D]he furniture when
my [Dm]back is [Bm]turned
[A]A flick of the lights and
the world falls away
And your [G]office job, and [D]your silver hair
But [F#m]our shapes in the dark are [G]the reason I've stayed
for [Gm]all these years

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Bm][A]

[Verse 2]
[G]I thought I was a geni[D]us
But now I'm [F#m]twenty two
[G]And it's starting [Gm]to feel like
all I know how to [D]do is
Put on a suit and [Bm]take it [G]away[A]
With my [G]fistful of tunes that
it's [D]painful to play
Finger[F#m]nail worlds, like f[G]avorite seashells
[Gm]They fill up my nigh[D]ts and
then they [Bm]float [G]awa[A]y

[Verse 3]
I've [G]got hundreds of gowns,
I've got [D]paintings in frames
And [F#m]a throat that fills with
panic every [G]festival day
[Gm]Dutifully falling apar[D]t for the
[Bm]princess of Norway
[A]

[Verse 4]
But [G]you with your [D]doll's lashes,
[F#m]your infinite T-shirts
[G]I I[Gm] should've known when
[D]your favorite record
[Bm]Was the same as my father's,
you'd [A]take me down

[Verse 5]
I [G]guess I'll always be this [D]way
Swallowed up [F#m]by the words and
[G]halfway [Gm]to space
But there by the fire,
[D]you offered your han[Bm]d
And as I took [A]it, I loved you,
the boy with [E]the plan

[Verse 6]
You felled [A]me clean as [E]a pine[A]
[E]The man with [A]the axe
And the [C]light [G]in [D]his

[Interlude 2]
eyes
[E][A][E][A]

[Verse 7]
[E]We've been through so [A]many hard times
I'm writing a [E]love song
For you, [A]baby

[Outro 1]
