Version 1[Intro] C Em x2 [Part I: Benedicente] [Verse 1] C Didn’t hallucinate, it wasn’t strange Em Inside the lines I drew, been staying in my lane C Wasn’t assigned to me, I’m not to blame Em Brown bottles of Jameson, grey ashes in a tray I put out [Chorus] C Got cancer sick, got on a plane Em Visited the Vatican to watch the pontiff wave Ab Fm And he say, “Benedicente, benedicente, benedicente" C On a long hot Sunday [Part II: Agotante] [Verse 2] C Got to get out of here, I can’t remain Em Limbs, they hang like chandeliers from alcohol and age C Down in the weeds again, tough to explain Em Mattress soaked in gasoline makes iridescent flames, I lay down [Chorus] C I’ll ask my love, what will she say? Em What’s it like to live with me here every fucking day? Ab Fm But she stays; “Agotante, agotante, agotante” C In her most gentle way [Bridge] Fm C Still think of New York every time Fm C G I see your face now, it just feels like another life C Gm Ab Fm I’m up late with an imaginary pain C Gm Always did come in waves Ab Fm C All that’s constant is, constant is, constant is that change [Solo] C Em Am Ab [Part III: Éphémère] [Verse 3] C Just grab the kids real quick, can’t start the car Em Fading like a photograph, your taillights in the dark C There’s nothing left no more to tear apart Em Agonies are infinite and sympathies just aren’t, they run out [Chorus] C I’ve seen that void, tried not to stare Em There’s bodies in the Bataclan, there’s music in the air Ab Fm And they sing, “Éphémère, éphémère, éphémère, éphémère” C And “Wish You Were Here” [Bridge] Fm C Enough blood to fill up this fish bowl Fm C G Keep swimming around, the exit’s blocked, there’s nowhere to go C Gm Ab Fm All these same fears year after year C Gm All the old ones reappear Ab Fm C Only difference is, difference is, difference is, you’re not here [Outro] C Em Ab Fm x2 C
