Shore to Shore Chords & Lyrics by Johnny Flynn
Shore to Shore
guitar chords lyrics
C F C
Shore to shore got some land between
C F C
Island life is living through a cup of broken queens
Dm F
hit the jackpot rolling through a pipe dream in a knot
A F C
and I'm missing what was pissing up the wall that I forgot
G
I forgot
F
I forgot
Am - G - C - F - Am - G - C
C F C
I am the masked rider, give me some grace
C F C
You've never seen me and you don't know my face
Dm F
She was no [Incomprehensible] it was cold, it was blue
A F C
And it only happened despite me or you
G F
Me or you, me or you
C F C
Smoking paper to the crimson flashing bars
C F C
Drinking cocktail wine or cottage cream and passing strangers' cars
Dm F
Live in one room housing with a roof to meet the sky
A F C
Spelling Jesus won't you please us 'cos you seem a damn nice guy
G F
Damn nice guy, damn nice guy
C F C
We listened to passengers stamping old songs
C F C
And we lose what's to lose when you haven't done wrong
Dm F
Drums too slow for a funeral beat
A F C
No strumming of strings and no stamping of feet
G F
Of feet, of feet
C F C
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me
C F C
And it's not so hard to see you smoking fags and drinking tea
Dm F
It's the crummy lost at seasick with a floating on the waves
A F C
To join the other flotsam with the ripped up queens and knaves
G F
Queens and knaves, queens and knaves
C F C
There lies a lady, she's gone and she's gone
C F C
She'll be a fine lady before too long
Dm F
But I hit her head and she finished her walking
A F C
She shouldn't be dead, she was too busy talking
G F
Busy talking, busy talking
C F C
They can fill a cup or two and still disturb the peace
C F C
It's never made it all the way from shore to shore, from west to east
Dm F
I read that independence was a lightness in your step
A F C
You walked away, I felt so heavy at the start of every day
G F
Every day, every day
C F C
I've been waiting an hour and the bus hasn't come
C F C
I've been cursing my God for the lack of the sun
Dm F
I've been ruined by destiny, lowered by fate
A F C
And the upshot of this is I'm going to be late
G F
To be late, to be late
