Alvvays - Next of Kin: chords

   C#m                                  Bm
We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour
   C#m                                    Bm
I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight
    C#m                                    Bm
You took something before you went in the shower
   C#m                                         Bm
To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight

           E                 E/B           E              E/B
If I had known you couldn't swim we would never have gone in

Chorus:
A          E           D
I left my love in the river
A        E        D
The only one who sees
A           E           D
I lost his hand in the current
    E              C#m            Bm
It was the life I wanted and I’d hoped for
     E             C#m                 Bm
And now I am left sifting through the leaves

The sun so hot, I saw his skin through his t-shirt
The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found
We climbed into the stream so no one would be heard
And in no time at all, there wasn't a sound

If I'd known you couldn't swim
We would never have gone in

Chorus

    E
No colour to his skin, inform the next of kin
                   D
No colour to his skin

Chorus:
I left my love in the river
The only one I see
I left his hand in the current
And now I am left blowing through the trees
