I love you, I love you, I told you I do

It's all I've ever felt, I've never felt so well
Gmaj7 Am
And if you don't know it, I wrote you this tune
Cmaj7 Em
To be here loving you when I'm in the tomb
Gmaj7 Am
I've eddied the heart now, from Dublin to Paris
Cmaj7 Em
And if there was sunshine, it was never on me
Gmaj7 Am
So close, the rain, so pronounced is the pain
Cmaj7
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Em G
Selling genocide and half-cut pride, I understand
Am C
I had to be there from the start, I had to be the f*cking man
Em G
It was a clamber of the life, I sucked the ring off every hand
Am C
Had 'em plying me with drink, even met with their demands
Em G
When the cherries lined up, I kept the spoilings for myself
Am C
'Til I had thirty ways of dying looking at me from the shelf
Em G
Cloud-parting smile I had, a real good child I was
Am C
But this island's run by sharks with children's bones stuck in their jaws
Em G
Now the morning's filled with cokeys tryna talk you through it all
Am C
Is their mammy Fine Gael and is their daddy Fianna Fáil?
Em G
And they say they love the land, but they don't feel it go to waste
Am C
Hold a mirror to the youth and they will only see their face
Em G
Makes flowers read like broadsheets, every young man wants to die
Am C
Say it to the man who profits, and the bastard walks by
Em G
And the bastard walks by, and the bastard walks by
Am C
Say it to him fifty times and still the bastard won't cry
Em
Would I lie?
[Instrumental]

[Chorus 3]
Em G Am
I love you, I love you, I told you I do
C Em
It's all I've ever felt, I've never felt so well
G Am
And if you don't know it, I wrote you this tune
C Em
To be here loving you when I'm in the tomb
G
System in our hearts, you only had it before
Am C
Echo, echo, echo, the lights, they go
Em G
The lights, they go, the lights, they go
Am C
Echo, echo
[Verse 2]
Em G
Selling genocide and half-cut pride, I understand
Am C
I had to be there from the start, I had to be the f*cking man
Em G
It was a clamber of the life, I sucked the ring off every hand
Am C
Had 'em plying me with drink, even met with their demands
Em G
And I loved you like a penny loves the pocket of a priest
Am C
And I'll love you 'til the grass around my gravestone is deceased
Em G
And I'm heading for the cokeys, I will tell them 'bout it all
Am C
About the gall of Fine Gael and the fail of Fianna Fáil
Em G
And now the flowers read like broadsheets, every young man wants to die
Am C
Say it to the man who profits, and the bastard walks by
Em G
And the bastard walks by, and the bastard walks by
Am C
Say it to him fifty times and still the bastard won't cry
Em GAm C
Would I lie?
