Dermot Kennedy - Innocence and Sadness Chords

[intro]
B  B  G#m  G#m

[verse 1]
B
 Never felt alone till the late night
B
 Never knew she was my home till the tears dried
G#m
 Workin' on the karma, but it takes time
N.C.
Innocence and sadness was a fine line
E
 Better savour every moment as it flies by
G#m                F#
 Every minute, boy, better live it, boy
E
 Maybe someday you'll be happy for me, oh, I
G#m                F#
 Every minute, boy, steady rhythm joy

[pre-chorus]
     E
The reason I stay
         G#m        F#
Wеll, I need you today
         E
Baby, I would bleed in your name
               G#m                   F#
I'm tryin' to be who you need me to bе

[chorus]
                        E
I woulda waited for you all night to talk for a minute
                    G#m                      F#
I'll sing into the cold dark night till you listen
                    E
People spend their life heads down, souls hidden
                G#m                  F#
I'm tryin' to be who you need me to be, well

[instrumental]
B  B  G#m  G#m

[verse 2]
B
 Never felt alone till the late night
B
 Never knew she was my home till the king cried
G#m
 Lost inside the forest, but it feels fine
N.C.
Innocence and sadness in the same night
E
 All the love that just got stolen from your wide eyes
G#m                F#
 Every minute, boy, better live it, boy
E
 Let your tears erode my shoulder like a cliff side
G#m                 F#
 Heavy minutes, boy, steady rhythm joy

[pre-chorus]
     E
The reason I stay
         G#m        F#
Wеll, I need you today
         E
Baby, I would bleed in your name
               G#m                   F#
I'm tryin' to be who you need me to bе

[chorus]

I woulda waited for
    E
you all night to talk for a minute
                    G#m                  F#
I'll sing into the cold dark night, you listen
                         E
Some people spend their life heads down, souls hidden
                G#m                  F#
I'm tryin' to be who you need me to be

[instrumental]
G#m  F#  E

[bridge]
G#m     F#             E
 I'd do anything for smiles, I'd move Heaven and Earth
G#m      F#              E
 Nobody told me at the start how heaven can hurt
G#m       F#              E
 I'll be waitin' under streetlight at Bowery and 3rd
G#m          F#           E
 Know I was waitin' on ya, know I was waitin' on ya
G#m        F#
 Darlin', don't spend
         E
another second wonderin' what you're worth
G#m     F#             E
 Don't you ever get affected by the ways of this world
G#m        F#               E
 Wouldn't say my soul's protected,

but there's somethin' at work
G#m     F#           E
 I was waitin' on ya, know I was waitin' on ya

[instrumental]
B  B  G#m  G#m  F#

[outro]
E
 Better savour every moment as it flies by
G#m                F#
 Every minute, boy, better live it, boy
E
 Return me safely, turn me homeward at the right time
G#m                F#
 Every minute, boy, steady rhythm joy
E
 Better savour every moment as it flies by
G#m                F#
 Every minute, boy, better live it, boy
E
 Return me safely, turn me homeward at the right time
G#m                 F#
 Heavy minutes, boy, steady rhythm joy
