The Flinch

	  		
Intro: C 

Verse 

C 
Maybe next year is the line that you hear 
       Am                G  F 
In the city I got stuck waiting 
     C  
For something to give, so tentative 
      Am                G   F 
That mantra I just kept saying 
          C  Am  G  F 
Whoa-oh-oh  
          C  Am  G  F 
Whoa-oh-oh 

Verse 

C    
Everyone around this cold hard town 
       Am                            G         F 
Has a dream that they can't seem to quite run down 
      C  
Your car gets towed or you run out of road 
     Am                          G           F 
You learn how to fight but The Flinch just grows 

Am                     G  
But I don't wanna look back now 
C                 F                Am 
Regret is like a street beat down 
    C                  F    G  
It keeps you on your knees 
Am              G           
The ringing of that broken bell 
C                   F           Am 
It always seems to cast a spell 
   C                 F 
I know I flinched before 
         G           
I ain't flinching anymore 


Interlude 

C Am G F 

Verse 

C 
She came along like one of those songs 
          Am                      G   F 
That you hear and you can't stop singing 
     C     
The Flinch started in like a phantom limb 
      Am                   G  F 
That broken bell's always ringing 

Am                   G 
But I don't want to look back now 
C                  F                Am 
Or waste a lyric about leaving town 
     C             F         G               Am 
Her face is all I see, she's waiting by the sea 
                G               C 
The ringing of that broken bell 
                    F           Am 
It always seems to cast a spell 
       C                      F 
I was young and I flinched before 
         G 
I ain't flinching anymore 


Bridge 

Dm                      F 
Always stuck in my own way 
        C       G 
Always falling down 
Dm                             F 
Her song's the home I want to stay 
             C         G 
It's like a brand new sound 

Outro 

Am               G         C   F   Am  C  F 
I don't want to look back now 
      G              Am 
She's waiting by the sea 
                G      
The ringing of that broken bell 
C                   F 
It always seems to cast its spell 
Am     C                      F 
I was young and I flinched before 
        G             C    Dm   F 
I ain't flinching anymore 
        G             C    Dm   F 
I ain't flinching anymore 
        G             C    Dm   F 
I ain't flinching anymore 
               G           C   Dm  F 
I don't want to look back now 
         G            C 
I ain't flinching anymore
