The Oil Slick Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G][D]
I went looking for [G]a song

[Verse 1]
[D]
for you
Something soft and patient
[G]to re[D]flect its muse
I took a walk will all my brightest thoughts
But the weather soon turned
and they all ran off
Took to the ocean, in a boat this time
Only an idiot [G]would swim
[D]through the[G] shit I w[D]rite
How can I talk [G]of [D]light and warmth?
I’ve got a voice like a
gutter [G]in a [D]toxic storm

[Verse 2]
All the [Bm]dark words [D]pouring
[A]from my throat
Sound like an [G]oil slick coating
[D]the wing[G]s we’veg[D]rown
There [G]goes [Bm]a love song drifting out [A]to sea
I'd sing [G]along if [D]I could h[G]ere over

[Interlude 1]
the oil slick
[G][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]So it came [G]to pass [D]and I came home
With four worn [G]out limbs
[D]and not one love song
How predict[G]able [D]this is all you've got
Yet another selfish sign
[G]post [D]to my ruin of faults

[Verse 4]
All the [Bm]dark words [D]pouring
from my throat
Sound like an [G]oil slick [D]coating
the wing[G]s we’ve grown
There [D]goes [Bm]a love song
[D]drifting out to sea
I’d sing [G]along if I [D]could [G]hear
[D]Over the dark

[Verse 5]
[Bm]words pissing
[D]from my throat
Sounds like an [G]oil slick coating
[D]the wing[G]s we’ve grown
There goes a [Bm]love song drifting
[A]out [D]my reach
I’d sing [Em]along [G]if I could
see past the oil [D]slick

[Verse 6]
[Bm]The [A]oil slick
The oil [G]slick
The oil [Bm]slick

[Interlude 2]
[A][G][Bm]
[A][G][Bm]
[A][G]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]There is light but there’s a tun
[A]nel to crawl through
[G]There is love but its misery
loves [D]you
There’s still hope so [A]I think
we’ll be fine
In these dis[G]astrous times,

[Verse 8]
disastrous times
[Bm]There is light but there[A]’s a tunnel
to crawl through
[D]The[G]re is love but misery
loves you
[D]We’ve still got hope so I [A]think we’ll be fine
In these dis[G]astrous times,

[Outro 1]
disastrous times
