A Story, A Sneak Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D][A][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
I took your [D]ankle,
tied you to the post
I fed you [A]grapes[G][D]
I asked for clemency and cut
[G]your throat[D]

[Interlude 1]
Held high your name
[D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
Ground down [D]the coffee beans
and lit the match
Wrestled the day
Chewed at the wristband
'til it came apart

[Verse 3]
Now I'm awake
[D]
[G]Back on the ground
you're dressing for uni
Thirty years old
What the hell am I doing here?
[D]

[Verse 4]
You [G]open the door
Say, "age before beauty."
Cringe as I pass
But I guess it's a story
[A]A sneak[D]

[Verse 5]
A rumor I won't believe
[D]
[A]And somewhere in my past
She's laughing, rolling [G]her eyes
"Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, al[D]right"

[Interlude 2]
[D]

[Verse 6]
Look at [D]the paper 'til
it chokes you up
The world won't wait
Luxury problems fill your gilded cup

[Verse 7]
You take the bait
[D]
[G]German girls pass
Grouped in teenage disasters
Gather you up in their confident
laughter
[A]Please[D]

[Verse 8]
Don't do this to me
[D]
[A]The gap from A to B
It never felt [G]this wide

[Interlude 3]
Yeah yeah, oh well, alright
[D][A][D][A][G][A][D][A][G]
[A][D][G][A][D]
[A][G][A][D][G][A][D][A][G][A][D][G][A]
[D][A][G][D][Em][G][D]

[Verse 9]
[G]Pinned to your seat
Practice circular breathing
Look down at the clouds
Where you'll be
Where you're leaving
[D]Between

[Verse 10]
You are always in- between
[D]
[A]"Sir, if you'd please observe
the 'Fasten Seat [G]Belts' sign,
[D]just calm down, you'll be alright."?
