Lorde - The Man with the Axe: chords

A                     E
If I had to break it down
                 G#m   A
I'd say it's the way you love to dance
 Am              E                    C#m
Movin' the furniture when my back is turned
      B7
The flick of the lights and the world falls away

Chorus:
         A                    E
And your office job and your silver hair
         G#m                        A
But our shapes in the dark are the reason
                Am
I've stayed for all these years

I thought I was a genius, but now I'm twenty-two
And it's startin' to feel like all I know how to do is
Put on a suit and take it away

Chorus:
With my fistful of tunes that it's painful to play
Fingernail worlds like favourite seashells
They fill up my nights and then they float away

I've got hundreds of gowns, I've got paintings in frames
And a throat that fills with panic every festival day
Dutifully fallin' apart for the Princess of Norway

Chorus:
But you with your doll's lashes, your infinite T-shirts
I should've known when your favourite record
was the same as my father's
You'd take me down

I guess I'll always be this way
Swallowed up by the words and halfway to space
But there by the fire, you offered your hand
And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan

Chorus:
 F#             B         F#  B
You felled me clean as a pine
     F#          B           D7  E7        F#
The man with the axe and the lo- ok in his eyes

F#                          B
We've been through so many hard times
               F#                 B
I'm writin' a love song for you, baby
