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