Key: C
Introduction:
C G
Nice to meet you boy, I know your momma knows,
Am
I fell in love with her, seven thousand summers ago,
I was a runner kid, a too much too heartily kid,
F G
Your momma helped me out, and now, here to pay the due back, though.
C G
Nice to meet you boy, I knew your momma's song
Am
I knew how she would move along to every rhythm
I know she'll do her best for you, she wants to get the rest of you,
F G
Now here to take care of you, whatever you need to come on through,

C G Am F G
VERSE
C G
Sad, juiced up, loose cannon fodder,
Am
We used to be happily, savagery,
fell rapidly into love telepathy,
F G
I must admit, before I slipped, your mother knew the best of me.
C G
Mad, clued up, we were not lovers,
Am
Band of brothers, sister, easy company,
Didn't tell me she was sick until she wrote to me,
F G
Then out the blue, the years we knew they all come flooding back to me,
C
Magnolia melan-call-it-love,
G Am
magnolia melancholia,
F
Magnolia melan-call-it-love,
G
magnolia melancholia,
VERSE
C G
Like how she smiled and how I cried and how I finally felt,
Like how I lied and how we died, inside the Chelsea Hotel,
Am F
Could tell that when she told me I had never had a broken heart,
G
Well I was mad, I said a couple of things I shouldn't of,
C G
We didn't talk for years, it's clear to me I was ostracised,
Am
Threw me out a heart, a head, a soul, a whole damn life,
I'm sittin' on the other side of London penance for shit,
F G
Guess it's all just hurt too much for her to deal with it,
C G
Nice to meet you boy, I know your momma knows,
Am
I fell in love with her, seven thousand summers ago,
I was a runner kid, a too much too heartily kid,
F G
Your momma helped me out, and now, here to pay the due back, though,
C G

BRIDGE
C G Am
This is just a story I tell, she's alive and well,
F
Somewhere in the city swell,
C G
I guess I just miss my friend,
Am
As for the broken heart,
F
it grates every time I start,
C G
I guess I just miss my friend,
Am
that's with a broken heart,
F
it grates every time I start,
C G
I guess I just miss my friend,
Am
that's with a broken heart,
F
it grates every time I start,
C G
I guess I just miss my friend,
Am
that's with a broken heart,
F
it grates every time I start,
