Ben Howard – The Defeat chords

[Intro]
C    E    x4

[Verse 1]
GThere is no rush when you don't belong
CTurns out we don't all
           Am              EFight like dogs in the end
CMost of us want to roll out
CRoll under the grass
EYou are limbless, cartoon
ENo bridge in your song
CSpirulina won't cure my heartbreak
CI was a dreamer when I learned to take
EIn between her and the fireplace
CThere are factors that conditioned me Something in the canopy
EClearly

[Verse 2]
CAnd the blank ones
CCartwheel out of the furnace
                        EThe mould never cracked you see
                EThe girls in St Denis
                     CStill sleep on their backs
             CUnderstood a fact
                           EWhen you spoke in all your marvelous ideologies
                    AmThe world is always at ease, at ease, at ease
          EDon't you see

[Verse 3]
        CAnd the deaths on the highways
     CFrom drinking at casinos
        EFeel so natural
            EEvery day a dice roll
              EEvery way you gamble
                     CWhere is something I can handle?
                      AmAnd the world void of Petrov, our savior
        AmWe are taught to savour
               CEveryone else's failures
       EEndlessly

[Verse 4]
         CEven the greatest
              CThe very very greatest, gave up, tapped out
         ETold all you fuckers to lie down
          EYet still you found
                  CCathedrals of dissent
                      CWhere does the robber go
                      EWhere does the robber go to repent?
     CTell me

[Verse 5]
G              AmTill there you were
                      CYou wouldn't buy a round
              AmFor your best friend
                    ESee, it's trickled down
                  AmOn you I don't depend
                  CThere you go then bye
             AmAnother end, bye
          AmInfinitum bye
E            Am        CThere you go then, bye
Am                       E  With such a heavy sound

[Verse 6]
                CThere is no rush when you don't belong
          Am                           CTurns out we don't all fight like dogs in the end
                  AmMost of us want to roll out
    AmRoll under the grass
                EYou're limbless, cartoon
             ENo bridge in your song
              AmMake me wonder, again
                EOr make me learn, to pretend
              AmMake me wonder, again
                EOr make me learn,
CTo pretend
AmMake me wonder
CAgain
                EOr make me learn, to pretend
