As Far As I Could Get

Florence + The Machine


Tom: Am

[Intro] Am  G  Am  G  
        Am  G  Am  G

        Am           G   Am                        G
In a celestial vault, I drew bedraggled breaths
      Am
Cause I am unloved
G           Am                G
  I went as far as I could get
        Am                      G
And the cedars like spires
  Am            G    Am  G  Am
Wasting my goddamn time
G           Am           G        Am          G
  Pass the museum of death, and the mad man yelling answers
   Am                    G    Am                     G
I sail on new beginnings, as psychics taking chances
        Am                       G
And the cedars like spires
  Am            G    Am  G  Am  G
Wasting my goddamn time

    F                 G           Am                F
As far as I could get, I went as far as I could get
      Dm                       Em                  Am   G  Am  G
And the cedars like spires, wasting my goddamn time

            Am                  G       Am                            G
Pass the spires and the temple, looking like a Disney castle
          Am                G         Am                      G
Went as far as I could get, past the girls late for rehearsal
      Am                 G     Am                 G
For a pirate on the left, and Jesus on the right
           Am                 G        Am            G
And the pacific sweeps through like a bird in flight

    F                 G           Am                F
As far as I could get, I went as far as I could get
     Dm                         Em                 Am   G  Am  G
And the cedars like spires, wasting my goddamn time

         F             G               Am   Em
Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too
         F             G               Am   Em
Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too

    F                 G           Am                F
I went as far as I could get, I went as far as I could get
    F                 G           Am                Em
I went as far as I could get, I went as far as I could get

          F                               G
Past the city and the sermons, the cemetery standing still
          Am                              G
Past the mountain and the monument, the houses and the hills
          Dm                         G                               Em
Past the signs and the sirens, the sinners and the saints, I went as far as I could get
          F                            G                               Am                 G
Past the hallowed and the horror, the humbled and the greed, I went as far as I could get
         F            G               Am  G  Am
Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too

   G       Am                    G      Am
I went as far as I could get, I went as far as I could get
   G       Am                    G      Am                           x4
I went as far as I could get, I went as far as I could get
G        Am             G  Am
But I'm not far enough yet
