South London Forever

Florence + The Machine


Tom: Am

G
When I go home alone

I drive past the place where I was born
F
And the places that I used to drink
Am                                   
Young and drunk and stumbling in the street
                              G
Outside the Joiners Arms like foals unsteady on their feet
G
With the art students and the boys in bands
G                                F
High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met


[Refrain]
G                          F
I thought, "It doesn't get better than this
                     Am                G
There can be nothing better than this, better than this."


[Verse 2]
G
And we climbed onto the roof of the museum
                 F
And someone made love in the grass
Am
And I forgot my name
                       G
And the way back to my mother's house
G
With your black pool eyes and your bitten lips
G
The world is at your fingertips


[Refrain]
F              Am
It doesn't get better than this
                   G
What else could be better than this?


[Chorus]
G
Oh, do you know what I have seen?
                F
I have seen the fields aflame
Am
And everything I ever did
         G
Was just another way to scream your name


[Post-Chorus]
G                               F
Over and over and over and over again
Am                              G
Over and over and over and over again


[Verse 3]
G
And we're just children wanting children of our own
         F
I want a space to watch things grow
    Am                                G
But did I dream too big? Do I have to let it go?
                                                     F
And what if one day there is no such thing as snow?
                  Am       G
Oh God, what do I know?


[Interlude]
N.C.
And I don't know anything
N.C.
Except that green is so green
N.C.
And there's a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring


[Chorus]
G
Oh, do you know what I have seen?
                F
I have seen the fields aflame
Am
And everything I ever did
         G
Was just another way to scream your name


[Post-Chorus]
G                               F
Over and over and over and over again
Am                              G
Over and over and over and over again


[Chorus]
G
Oh, do you know what I have seen?
                F
I have seen the fields aflame
Am
But everything I ever did
         G
Was just another way to scream your name
