Linger On by Two Gallants
Linger On
Intro: C G C G F G C G
C G C
step out to clutch the evening air
G F G C G
˜straction from your disrepair and all of those who say they know
C G C G F
walk the balustrade till dawn you won™t blink and you won™t yawn
G C G
never let your weakness show
Am G F Am G F
though i keep your picture on the wall unplug the phone in case you call
G C G
and dust collects upon the sill
Am G C G F
still you misplace all your faith in words as though you™ll ever feel assured
G C G
if you don™t know you never will
Chorus:
C G Am G
but no i never meant you any harm
Dm Am G
suffocating shelter of your arms
C G Dm F (G) C
if i let you down it wasn™t me but you who kept me round
G C G
linger on linger on
C G C G F
and while your tears fall dawn his cheek for the fallen, small and meek
G C G
look what the invalides compose
C G C G F
well he should've warned you from the start another callus on the heart
G C G
another victim of the throes
Am G F Am G F G C G
so sip your cigarettes and tea be sure you never think of me when your vanities unload
Am G C G F
and in case your beauty makes you weep for what you touched but couldn™t keep
G C G
for what you had but couldn™t hold
Chorus:
C G Am G
but no i never meant you any harm
Dm Am G
suffocating shelter of your arms
C G Dm F (G)C
if you should feel betrayed it wasn™t me but you who made me stay
G C G
linger on linger on
Interlude:
C G Am G
F G C G
C G C G F
well i™ll take your convalescent dreams patch the wounds and sew the seams
G C G
get you ready for the fall
C G C G F
but should you miss me when i™m gone girl your memory serves you wrong
G C G
you never needed me at all
Am G F Am G F
but you can miss the hollow of my hand and all the lives that we had planned
G C G
all the jealousies you sold
Am G C G F
and i™ll take back the youth you can™t repay all the hours i gave away
G C G
and all the lies i never told
Chorus
C G Am G
but no i never meant you any harm
Dm Am G
suffocating shelter of your arms
C G Dm F (G) C
and if i did you wrong it wasn™t me but you who wrote this song
G C G
linger on linger on
Outro:
C G Am G
F G C
