Film Noir — The Gaslight Anthem
Chords and lyrics for Film Noir by The Gaslight Anthem (key of F).
Intro
Dm Bb 2x
[Dm]I'm all washed out by the side of the road.
[Bb]Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose.
Saying [Dm]"Baby honey child, I love you so long but you [Bb]deserve much better
than [F]me"
[Dm]So I'm just burning all around.
All the miles on the road.
[Bb]And I'm never going back.
And I'm never going home.
[Dm]I've been gone too long.
I've been less right than wrong.
[Bb]I've lost so much blood in the [F]falling [Bb]out[C]
[F]And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
Until it [Bb]consumed the walls and roof of this house.
Until all I [F]remember was burning away.
And all I [Bb]remember, you burnt it [C]away.[Dm]
[Dm]See for 10 long years I've been hustling around.
[Bb]Tryin' to wash the sins and sweat from my brow.
[Dm]Just trying to find a better life for me and my own.
[Bb]Just some rest for these tired working [F]fingers.
[Dm]But nobody's ever going to tear you away.
[Bb]
It's all for the rain, and the [Dm]fools in the night, and the heat in the day.
When all you ever [Bb]really wanted was [F]someone to [Bb][C]understand.
[F]And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
Until it [Bb]consumed the walls and roof of this house.
Until all I [F]remember was burning away.
Bb C barre
And all I remember, you burnt it away.
Well don't you take it so [F]hard and baby don't you cry.
Cross your hard [Bb]heart and hope to die.
Don't you tell me no [F]more lies, you lied all the time.
Bb C barre
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night.
And your sugar and [Dm]spice, and everything [F]nice.
You got Monroe [Bb]hips, your poison lips and [F]knives.
And your sugar and [Dm]spice, and everything [F]nice.
Bb F (Bb C barre 2nd time)
Open wounds and a young boy's pride.
2X
[F]And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
Until it [Bb]consumed the walls and roof of this house.
Until all I [F]remember was burning away.
Bb C barre
And all I had left, you burnt it away.
Well don't you take it so [F]hard and baby don't you cry.
Cross your hard [Bb]heart and hope to die.
Don't you tell me no [F]more lies, you lied all the time.
Bb C barre
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night.
