Dermot Kennedy - An Evening I Will Not Forget Chords

[intro]
                    C
When love was found
           G
I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to
                 Am                   G    F
Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue.
           C
Coming down
          G
We've had problems that we've grown through
              Am                G         F
But I bet you dream of what you could do.

[verse]
   F         G        Am
At seventeen I was alright
         F               G      Am
Was like nothing I could feel inside
    F           G           Am
And wishing you were here tonight
                 F G Am
Is like holding on.
             F               G          Am
But I still get to see your face, right?
                F                G           Am
And that's like nothing they can take, right?
                     F              G
So there won't be no feeling in the firelight
Am
Hoping this will be right
F                 G           Am
Time to show your worth child.

[pre-chorus]
                    F
I remember when her heart broke

over stubborn shit
       G
That's no way to be living kid
    Am
The angel of death is ruthless.
                        F
And I'm always thinking summertime

with the bikes out
G
pushing our luck getting wiped out
Am
Days with nothing but laughing loud.
                              F
Underneath my coat won't you tap my shoulder,

hold my hand
G
Nights with nothing but dark in there
Am
You can be my armour then.
F
Islands smiles and cardigans
    G
The nights that we've been drinking in
      Am
We're here to help you kill all of this

hurt that you've been harbouring.
    F
Confessions should be better planned
  G
Alone, that night, I'm surely damned
Am
Run away, I'll understand.

[chorus]
                         F
What's important is this evening

I will not forget
G
Purple, blue, orange, red
      Am
These colours of feeling, give me love,

I'll put my heart in it.
   F
I think about it all the time
    G
The lights went out, you were fine
    Am
You kinda struggle not to shine.
                         F
I still love you though,
                         G
I still love you though,
                  Am
I still love you always.
                         F
So hold me when I'm home,
                       G
keep the evenings long
                     Am
Crack and break and part ways.
                         F
I still love you though,
                         G
I still love you though,
                  Am
I still love you always.
                      F
So hold me when I'm home,
                       G
keep the evenings long
                     Am
Crack and break and part ways.

And I wonder if I can let it down.

[instrumental]
F  G  Am
F  G  Am
F  G  Am
F  G  Am

[outro]
Am                        F  G  Am
 It's for real, it's for real.
Am                        F  G  Am
 It's for real, it's for real.
