Crywank – It Was A Swift Not A Swallow I Never Listen chords

[Intro]
Bm  F#  G  Em 


[Verse 1]
      BmDon't tell me I'm the one

I wouldn't want to be the one
            F#I wouldn't want to know
             GYeah there's context of course

These are temporary thoughts
            EmI think one day they'll go
Bm                                                      F#Yes I know I love you but as time goes on I think we'll both get hurt
    G                                                      EmAnd we keep clinging on whilst we treat each other like we don't deserve


[Chorus]
        Bm                                             F#When we met you gave me a necklace of a bird you said didn't have a home
         G                                             EmI can't remember for sure but I think it was a type of swallow
    Bm                                  F#Sometimes I think we both knew from the start that this was doomed
       G                                  EmPlease know, my love, I treasure all the time I spent with you


[Interlude]
Bm  F#  G  Em


[Verse 2]
     Bm                             F#           G            EmAnd truth be told I'm so unsure if I should even walk away
    Bm                        F#              G                   EmBut I keep clinging on whilst knowing that I treat you worse everyday
     Bm         F#            G           EmI am distant in mind and I am distant in body
     Bm                    F#                   G         EmEven with me by your side you'll be inevitably lonely

       Bm                           F#And of one thing I'm sure it's that you deserve more
      G                                   EmI am selfish and distracted, some weeks barely interacted
     BmI am difficult and late
  F#I do not save the date
          GI have myself prioritised
  EmI ask your help and time
         NC
I so rarely give you mine


[Chorus]
        Bm                                             F#When we met you gave me a necklace of a bird you said didn't have a home
         G                                             EmI can't remember for sure but I think it was a type of swallow
    Bm                                  F#Sometimes I think we both knew from the start that this was doomed
       G                                  EmPlease know, my love, I treasure all the time I spent with you


[Verse 3]
          Bm               F#                GAnd now I feel like such a fool for this to be what I choose
   EmAs if you weren't enough
Bm            F#            G             EmBecause I can say that I've never felt as loved
   Bm              F#          G           EmI can't apologize more for my absence of emotion
  Bm               F#                G             EmI know this song I write for you is just a selfish token


[Outro]
Bm              F#          G        EmAlthough theres pain in the end
        Bm        F#         G        EmI would love to remain your friend
Bm                 F#             G     EmBreak the past and make amends
     Bm               F#          G        EmAnd learn to love you again in a new way
