808 Hymn

Gm            F                 Eb 
When I was a kid, I used to think 
          Eb                 Gm 
The moon was following me home 
           F                        Eb 
But now I drink and dance in the street 
            Eb              Gm 
I know I've never been more wrong 
          F                  Eb 
Now I'm grown, I've come to know 
         Eb                  Gm 
Every girl's out here on her own 
             F              Eb       Eb 
The faces of God, they never showed 


Gm      F 
Oh, oh, ooh 
Eb      Cm 
Oh, oh, ooh 
Gm      F      Eb 
Oh, oh, ooh 



Gm                 F 
The stars and the gods 
                   Cm 
They’ve come to watch 
               Eb                 Gm 
Me stumbling home in the silver dark 
            F                 Cm 
I’ve been praying to the constellations 
           Eb                             Gm 
Turns out they were all just satellite stations 
          F                  Cm 
Now I’m grown, I’ve come to know 
         Eb               Gm 
Every blame and every fault 
                F 
So I do what I want 
        Eb            Eb 
I wear those clothes 



Gm      F 
Oh, oh, ooh 
Eb      Cm 
Oh, oh, ooh 
Gm      F      Eb 
Oh, oh, ooh 


         Gm                              F 
Can you tell me where it hurts when you feel it kicking in? 
           Eb                            Eb 
Grit your teeth, make a scene, put your keys between fists 
         Gm                    F           Eb 
It's an 808 heartbeat, it's a funeral hymn 
         Gm                       F 
And if this is my end, then the sky is my witness 
     Eb                        Eb 
The night isn't kind, it's a cruel, cruel mistress 
     Gm                    F                         Eb 
And any God watching will beg my forgiveness for this 



Gm            F                 Eb 
When I was a kid, I used to think 
          Cm                 Gm 
The moon was following me home 
                F                    Eb 
With shoes in hand I hear the marching band 
               Cm                    Gm 
Playing their song for my untimely end 
        F           Eb         Eb 
Now I’m grown, I should know 
     Gm                           F 
I should know, I should know, I should know, I should know 
Eb            Eb 
I should know 



            Gm 
There’s humming in the air 
       F 
The street lights are dimming 
         Eb 
It’s the dark before dawn 
        Eb 
When the birds start singing 
        Gm 
It’s praying you can make it 
         F                 Eb 
For just five more minutes 
           Gm 
God it’s quiet and it’s violent 
            F 
And it’s everywhere I go 
           Eb 
It’s the sweat in my palms 
           Eb 
When i’m praying to the god 
    Gm                           F                    Eb 
I promise I’ll believe, if you could just get me home 


       Gm                            F 
Oh, tell me where it hurts when you feel it kicking in 
           Eb                            Eb 
Grit your teeth, make a scene, put your keys between fists 
         Gm                    F           Eb 
It's an 808 heartbeat, it's a funeral hymn 
         Gm                       F 
And if this is my end, then the sky is my witness 
     Eb                        Eb 
The night isn't kind, it's a cruel, cruel mistress 
     Gm                    F                        Eb 
And any God watching will beg my forgiveness for this
