Chords with lyrics
Carnation
(Weller)
A minorAm C majorC
If you gave me a fresh carnation
G+G Bb majorBb
I would only crush it's tender petals
A minorAm C majorC
With me you'll have no escape
G+G Bb majorBb
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle -
G minorGm Eb6Eb6
I trample down all life in my wake
D MajorD B minorBm
I eat it up and take the cake
E MajorE A minorAm
I just avert my eyes to the pain
D MajorD A minorAm
Of someone's loss helping my gain
If you gave me a dream for my pocket
You'd be plugging in the wrong socket
With me there's no room for the future
With me there's no room with a view at all -
G minorGm Eb MajorEb
I am out of season all year 'round
D MajorD B minorBm
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
E MajorE A minorAm
Touch my heart and feel winter
D MajorD C minorCm
Hold my hand and be doomed forever -
Cm/Bb6/Cm/Bb6/Am/F6/Am/Em7/Fmaj7/G6/E
Piano solo: Am/C/G/Bb (x2)
If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush it's tender petals
With me you'll have now escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle.
G minorGm Eb6Eb6
And if you're wondering by now who I am
D MajorD B minorBm
Look no further than the mirror -
E MajorE A minorAm
Because I am the Greed and Fear
D MajorD C minorCm
And every ounce of Hate in you.
