Of Monsters and Men Sloom
Capo 1 Note: Let the last chord of the Outro ring
[Intro]
CAmFC
[Verse]
CAm The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice FC The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you CAm The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grass FC and I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me
CAm The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories FC That I drew up from a little dream of mine a little nightmare of yours CAm To be asked to take this plunge to forgive and forget FC and be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man
[Chorus]
CAmFC So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
[Verse]
CAm The cat's silhouette as big as a monster FC In this concrete jungle with street lights hanging their heads CAm So make all your last demands for I will forsake you FC and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last
[Chorus]
CAmFC So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
CAmFC So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
CAmFC So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
CAmFC So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
[Outro]
CAm I met a man today and he smiled back at me F Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet C that keep me on my feet
