Ben Howard - Towing The Line: chords

A#
Towing the line
               F
I watched the host drink all the wine
             C                                   Dm
And now she rambles through the who and who have not
    A#                             F
The old man is a painter of tired seascapes
                               C
Tired of adventure so my mind wanders
                                  Dm
Picking at the table to cure the rot

        A#
Like a bird in a world with no trees
          F
You were hung up there in your disbelief
              C                 Dm
I know I'm a hard rock to drag around

Chorus:
        Dm            F
Love is in the early mornings
        Dm                C
In the shadows under the trees
            Dm       G
Not in the cuckolded ashes
          F                  C
Floating down from the rookery

             A#       F                 C
Down here I crow for you, you crow for me
             A#       F                 C
Down here I crow for you, you crow for me

Towing the line
I watched the host drink all the wine
And now I’m purring
For a drop of anything
Throwing stones at your window
You turn to me as if it’s simple
Why can’t you be like the blackbird
And sing

I say I’m the westerlies in Ireland
So decadent and violent
Can’t you see I’m a forager
Clawing at the bedrock

Chorus
