Chorus 1:
Em          Gmaj7                    Am
I love you, I love you, I told you I do
                    Cmaj7                    Em
It's all I've ever felt, I've never felt so well
                      Gmaj7                 Am
And if you don't know it, I wrote you this tune
            Cmaj7                      Em
To be here loving you when I'm in the tomb
                      Gmaj7                Am
I've eddied the heart now, from Dublin to Paris
                  Cmaj7                    Em
And if there was sunshine, it was never on me
                    Gmaj7                 Am
So close, the rain, so pronounced is the pain
Cmaj7
Yeah

Em                 Gmaj7                   Am
Well, I love you, imagine a world without you
               Cmaj7                 Em
It's only ever you, I only think of you
                     Gmaj7               Am
And if it's a bless..ing, I want it for you
                  Cmaj7                  Em
If I must have a future, I want to with you
               Gmaj7                     Am
System in our hearts, you only had it before
                  Cmaj7                      Em
You only open the window, never open up the door
                       Gmaj7           Am   Cmaj7
And I love you, I love you, told you I do

Verse 1:
Em                            G
Selling genocide and half-cut pride, I understand
             Am                               C
I had to be there from the start, I had to be the f*cking man
          Em                               G
It was a clamber of the life, I sucked the ring off every hand
         Am                   C
Had 'em plying me with drink, even met with their demands
Em                          G
When the cherries lined up, I kept the spoilings for myself
Am                               C
'Til I had thirty ways of dying looking at me from the shelf
Em                         G
Cloud-parting smile I had, a real good child I was
Am                                  C
But this island's run by sharks with children's bones stuck in their jaws
Em                                   G
Now the morning's filled with cokeys tryna talk you through it all
Am                                     C
Is their mammy Fine Gael and is their daddy Fianna Fáil?
Em                                         G
And they say they love the land, but they don't feel it go to waste
         Am                     C
Hold a mirror to the youth and they will only see their face
Em                                          G
Makes flowers read like broadsheets, every young man wants to die
Am                             C
Say it to the man who profits, and the xxxxxxx walks by
Em                                 G
And the xxxxxxx walks by, and the xxxxxxx walks by
           Am              C
Say it to him fifty times and still the xxxxxxx won't cry
         Em
Would I lie?

Chorus 3:
Em                  G                Am
I love you, I love you, I told you I do
                    C                       Em
It's all I've ever felt, I've never felt so well
                  G                         Am
And if you don't know it, I wrote you this tune
             C                         Em
To be here loving you when I'm in the tomb
                G
System in our hearts, you only had it before
Am                C
Echo, echo, echo, the lights, they go
Em                    G
The lights, they go, the lights, they go
       Am  C
Echo, echo

Verse 2:
Em                             G
Selling genocide and half-cut pride, I understand
              Am                               C
I had to be there from the start, I had to be the f*cking man
          Em                                G
It was a clamber of the life, I sucked the ring off every hand
         Am                        C
Had 'em plying me with drink, even met with their demands
            Em                          G
And I loved you like a penny loves the pocket of a priest
          Am                                 C
And I'll love you 'til the grass around my gravestone is deceased
          Em                                      G
And I'm heading for the cokeys, I will tell them 'bout it all
           Am                        C
About the gall of Fine Gael and the fail of Fianna Fáil
              Em                                  G
And now the flowers read like broadsheets, every young man wants to die
       Am                               C
Say it to the man who profits, and the xxxxxxx walks by
          Em                        G
And the xxxxxxx walks by, and the xxxxxxx walks by
           Am                             C
Say it to him fifty times and still the xxxxxxx won't cry
         Em  G Am C
Would I lie?
