Bastille - Joy Chords

[intro]
A  E6/G#  F#m  D

[verse 1]
A
 Thought I'd never be waking,
E6/G#
 on the kitchen floor
F#m                D
 But here I lie,  not the first time
A
 Now my morning has broken,
E6/G#
 and it brings the fear
F#m                   N.C.
 My mind's falling,    falling

[pre-chorus 1]
     D     E         F#m
Then I feel my pulse quickening
    D      E             F#m     A
But regrets can't change anything
     D     E         F#m
Yeah I feel my pulse quickening
D        E            F#m
When your name lights up the screen

[chorus 1]
    A             D
Oh joy, when you call me
  F#m                   D             Bm7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
 A           D
Joy, set my mind free
  F#m                   D             Bm7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in

[post-chorus 1]
A                              D
How'd you always know when I'm down?
F#m                             D
How'd you always know when I'm down?

[verse 2]
A
   Take a walk through the wreckage,
E6/G#
     clearing out my head
F#m                       D
   I hear your eyes roll,  right down the phone
A
   I'm your walking disaster,
E6/G#
     keep on dragging me
F#m                D
   From self-pity,  poor me

[pre-chorus 2]
     D     E         F#m
Then I feel my pulse quickening
    D        E     F#m
But I wouldn't change a thing

[chorus 2]
    A             D
Oh joy, when you call me
  F#m                   D             Bm7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
 A           D
Joy, set my mind free
  F#m                   D             Bm7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in

[post-chorus 2]
A                              D
How'd you always know when I'm down?
F#m                             D  E
How'd you always know when I'm down?

[bridge]
       Bm7
As the night dissolves
  D
into this final frame
         F#m
You're a sweet relief,
    E
you saved me from my brain
        Bm7            D
From my brain, from my brain
       F#m            E
From my brain (brain,  brain)
         Bm7             D
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh-oh
         F#m              E
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh-oh

[chorus 3]
    A             D
Oh joy, when you call me
  F#m                   D             Bm7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
 A           D
Joy, set my mind free
  F#m                   D             Bm7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in

[post-chorus 3]
N.C.
How'd you always know when I'm down?
N.C.
How'd you always know when I'm down?

[outro]
A             D
 I feel joy,  when you call me
F#m              D
 I feel joy, (I-I-I feel joy)
A             D
 I feel joy,  when you call me
F#m            D
 I feel joy,  when you call me
A                              D
How'd you always know when I'm down?
F#m                             N.C.
How'd you always know when I'm down?
