Amber Lamps - Floodgates Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Am G C F  FM7add9

AmLying awake and lGookingC above

 The Fstars and their light fill my thoughts

 From Amhere all this shit seems like Gnothing atC all

 But the Fmorning will break soon enough

 I Amstood on the corner

 The Glight from the sCtreetlamp

FDanced on your skin

And it made me think

AmBack and remember when Gyou longed toC be

FOne of the stars I now see

FBut the floodgates were opened

CAnd I watched you run

 Each dGeparting step

 Seemed Dmmore like an ocean in lFength

 And by the Amtime I had turned you wereC gone G

 And AmI've never felt such such Csudden ambitioGn

FTo see something through to it's end

AmDespite all my longing

CMy humble conGviction

 We've alFready drawn our last breath

 And Amall the complaints that you Chad now make Gsense

FNo book, just a cover

Not soul mates, just FM7add9 lovers

AmI finally chose to iCgnore all the Gblows

 And I lFeft you alone

To leave

Cause the floodgates were opened

And I watched you run

Each departing step

Seemed more like an ocean in length

By the time I had turned you were gone
