Elephant Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]There's a great big elephant
up in this [F]room
No we [G]both refuse to face it,
we know it's [C]true, know it's [E]true
That there's a [Am]great big
elephant up in this [F]room
And still we [G]both can't say the words
I don't want [C]you, I don't want [E]you,
I don't want [Am]you

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Don't know if I should retreat or [F]de fend
Or if this is too broken [G]to mend
Can't remember what we're even
[C]fighting for [Em]any m[E]ore[Am]
I know you're with me but
I'm still [F]alone
We got this house but I don't
feel [G]at home
And though your arms are around me I [C]feel the cold,
[E]feel the cold

[Verse 3]
[Dm]We use to be so hard (ba-[Am]
boom, ba- boom, ba- boom)
Yeah you could hear our hearts
(ba- boom, ba- boom, ba- boom)
[Dm]I'm trying to find some light
But all I [E]get is a flat line

[Verse 4]
Cause there's a [Am]great big
elephant up in this [F]room
No we [G]both refuse to face it,
we know it's [C]true, know it's [E]true
That there's a [Am]great big elephant
up in this [F]room
And still we [G]both can't say the words
I don't want [C]you, I don't want [E]you,
I don't want [Am]you

[Verse 5]
[Am]
We should do injure but never to [F]kill
A roller coaster but devour to [G]thrill
Through it all I'm the black in a [C]losing
game [E]but still we [Em]play[Am]
How can I move on when
[E]you're all [F]I know
I forgot how to be on [G]my own
But is that a reason for [C]me to stay,
[E]I'm so afraid

[Verse 6]
[Dm]We use to be so hard (ba- boom[Am], ba-
boom, ba- boom)
Yeah you could hear our hearts (ba-
[Dm]boom, ba- boom, ba- boom)
I'm trying to find some light
But all I [E]get is a flat line

[Verse 7]
Cause there's a [Am]great big
elephant up in this [F]room
No we [G]both refuse to face it, we know it's [C]true,
know it's [E]true
That there's a [Am]great big elephant
up in this [F]room
And still we [G]both can't say the words
I don't want [C]you, I don't want [E]you,
I don't want [Dm]you

[Verse 8]
Oh, I'm trying to save [Am]us from
[Dm]drowning
You thought this distance
between us is [Am]going
We went from [Dm]running free,
running fast
[Am]To walking on broken glass, [E]yo oh oh
Still I can't seem to let you go

[Verse 9]
There's a [Am]great big elephant
up in this [F]room
And no we [G]both refuse to face it, we know it's [C]true,
know it's [E]true
That there's a [Am]great big
elephant up [F]in this room
And still we [G]both can't say the words
I don't want [C]you, I don't want [E]you,
I don't want [Am]you
There's a grey big elephant up
[F]in this room
And still we [G]both can't say the words
I don't want [C]you, I don't want [E]you,
I don't want [Am]you,
I don't want [F]you, I don't want [G]you,
I don't want [C]you
But I do [E]go when I don't love you
[Am]
