[Verse 1]
B
So we got straight to the heart
E
And I was a coward and worse to my shame

I fell hard upon the weightless weeks
B
But wasted every day

‘Til you emerged in the park
E
Like some patron of Washington Square

For the first time in a long time
B
Inside everything stood clear

So went out to find me a job
E
But I didn’t think I would hold this one down

It gives the same old sinking feeling
B
Of fucking hammers in my bowels

But you are good to me still
E
And when my old man was near to the end

You loved his broken body

In thе same way that I did

[Chorus]
G#m B E
I wanna lay me down
G#m
And be lovеr of the year
B E
In this strange new town
G#m B
This strange hemisphere

[Verse 2]
B
God, it was state of the art
E
You called each of my sorrows by name

And a tide of tender mercies
B
Shook my body from the grave

And in the festival years
E
Of our makeshift parade

In perpetual fall
B
And immeasurable rain

I wanna see this one out
E
And I wanna join the impossible swing

And fall hard beside you
B
Screaming at the bowels of everything

And in the Islington morn
E
You’re the angel of 8th

And what’s more, the goddamn greatest thing

That Laney ever made

[Chorus]
G#m B E
I wanna lay me down
G#m
And be lover of the year
B E
And in this strange new town
G#m
This strange hemisphere
B E
You persuade me now
G#m
To look closer in the mirror
B E
And I wanna lay me down
G#m
For years and years and years and years

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
B
Ah, there’s heaven in you now

Ah, there’s heaven in you now
E
Ah, there’s heaven in you now

Ah, there’s heaven in you now
B
There is heaven in you now

Ah, there’s heaven in you now
E
Ah, there’s heaven in you now

Ah, there’s heaven in you now
B
There is heaven in you now

Ah, there’s heaven in you now
E
Ah, there’s heaven in you now

Ah, there’s heaven in you now
B
Ah, there’s heaven in you now

There is heaven in you now

Now, now
