Alvvays – Next Of Kin chords

[Intro] (x2)
A  E  D 

[Verse]
   C#m                                  BmWe walked along the rocks for nearly an hour
  C#m                                    BmI caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight
    C#m                                   BmYou took something before you went in the shower
    C#m                                           BmYou have suppressed the things that make you feel uptight
         E                  E/B           E               E/BIf 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            BmIt was the life I wanted and I’d hoped for
    E             C#m                 BmAnd now I am left sifting through the leaves

[Verse]
    C#m                                      BmHis arms so hard, I saw his skin through his t-shirt
    C#m                                   BmThe grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found
   C#m                                    BmWe climbed into the stream so no one will be heard
    C#m                              BmAnd in no time at all there wasn't a sound
       E                  E/B           E               E/BIf I’d known you couldn't swim we would have never 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            BmIt was the life I wanted and I’d hoped for
    E               C#m                 BmAnd now you’re left sifting through the leaves

[Instrumental] (x4)
  A  D 

[Bridge]
   ENo colour to his skin, inform the next of kin
   E             DNo colour to his skin

[Chorus]
A          E           D I left my love in the river
A         E     D The only one I see
A           E           D I left his hand in the current
    E             C#m                 BmAnd now I am left blowing through the trees

[Outro] (x4)
A  E  D
