Gold Past Life — Fruit Bats

Chords and lyrics for Gold Past Life by Fruit Bats (key of C).

Verse 1

You may notice a differentiation between Cmaj7 and C in the chorus,
however I feel as though they are interchangeable (maybe the piano plays C
while guitar plays Cmaj7?).
Also, playing C/G or Cmaj7/G could give it a fuller sound. Up to you.

Chorus

[Am]You know you're [D]never [Bm]gonna [Em]feel [Bm]as [Am]right
[Bm]Than in your gold past [Cmaj7]life
[Am]A ship of [D]paper [Bm]on a [Em]sea [Bm]of [Am]fire
[Bm]Back to your gold past [C]life

Verse 1

[Gmaj7]Helplessly staring at the stagnant stars
What was this [Dm]thing that took your spirit away?
[Am]Head on the bug splattered hood of your car
You [G]pray[Cmaj7]

Verse 2

[Gmaj7]Breathlessly calling up your old love
Why did she [Dm]have to take your essence from you?
Life's been [Cmaj7]rougher but lately it's pretty rough
For [Amaj7]you

Verse 3

[Cmaj7]You used to dance in the night
With a girl you [Amaj7]loved so much
[Cmaj7]You used to look her in the eyes as the nightbirds [Am]sang

Chorus

Verse 4

[Gmaj7]Helplessly staring at a cumulus
What caused this [Dm]flood that washed your courage away?
With your [Cmaj7]heart in a knot you cry for love and loss
For all of [Amaj7]us

Verse 5

[Cmaj7]You used to stare into the void
With the love of your [Amaj7]life
[Cmaj7]You used to whisper in her ear
"Little [Am]butterfly..."

Chorus
