Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am | - |

[Verse 1]
F               Am
 A place in the city
C                 G
 A chair and a bed
F              Am
 I cover up all  the mirrors
     C           Dsus4
Can't see myself yet  
F                    Am
 I wear smoke like a wedding veil
C                       G
 Make a meal I won't eat
         F                         Am
Step out into the street, alone in a sea
C          Dsus4
 It comes over me
           G
Oh, I'm missing you

[Pre-Chorus]
             Am
Yeah, I'm missing you
G/B                              F
   And all the things we used to do

[Chorus]
                    Am
MDMA in the back garden,
blow our pupils up
C                                    G
 We kissed for hours straight, well, baby,
what was that?
F
 I remember saying then,
Am                           C
  "This is the best cigarette of my life"
        G
Well, I want you just like that
F
 Indio haze,
               Am
we're in a sandstorm and it knocks me out
C                              G
 I didn't know then that you'd never be enough,
oh
F
 Since I was seventeen,
Am
  I gave you everything
   C
Now we wake from a dream, well,
Dsus4
baby, what was that?

[Interlude]
F Am C G
        What was that?
F Am C Dsus4
       Baby, what was that?

[Verse 2]
F                             Am
 Do you know you're still with  me
C                             Dsus4
 When I'm out with my friends?
F                     Am
 I stare at their painted faces
         C               G
They talk current affairs
F                            Am
 You had to know this was happening
C                           G
 You weren't feeling my heat
           F
When I'm in the blue light,
          Am
down at Baby's All Right
      C       G
I face reality

[Pre-Chorus]
      F      Am
I try, to let
     C              G                       F
Whatever has to pass through me pass through
                Am                 C
But this is staying a while, I know
        Dsus4             Amadd11/D
It might     not let me go

[Chorus]
F                    Am
 MDMA in the back garden,
blow our pupils up
C                                    G
 We kissed for hours straight, well, baby,
what was that?
F
 I remember saying then,
Am                           C
  "This is the best cigarette of my life"
        Dsus4
Well, I want you just like that
F
 Indio haze,
               Am
we're in a sandstorm and it knocks me out
C                              G
 I didn't know then that you'd never be enough,
oh
F
 Since I was seventeen,
Am
  I gave you everything
   C
Now we wake from a dream, well,
Amadd11/D
baby, what was that?

C         Dsus4                  F
 'Cause I want you just like that (When I'm in the blue
                    Am
light, I can make it  alright)
C G              F
   What was that? (When I'm in the blue light,
             Am
I can make it  alright)
C Dsus4
  Baby, what was
