Chords by The Amazing Devil Lyrics

[Verse 1]
[Joey Batey]
Remember today you are loved
[Madeleine Hyland]
What?
[Joey Batey]
Think back to days in hidden caves
[Madeleine Hyland]
They’re still so small I gave them everything
[Joey Batey]
They’d paint your eyes with sunsets
[Madeleine Hyland]
My saints, my sighs, my upsets, and the days I couldn’t cope
[Joey Batey]
And the waves
[Both]
Oh the waves

[Verse 2]
[Joey Batey]
Remember they are safe
[Madeleine Hyland]
I forgot to pack them lunches
[Joey Batey]
Think back to paddling pools and rainy days where they would
[Madeleine Hyland]
I need a drink or two
[Joey Batey]
They’d harmonise with echoes Nor are you
[Madeleine Hyland]
With charcoal eyes, stilеttos, they’re not ready
But thе waves
[Both]
Oh the waves
[Chorus]
[Both]
Oh
[Madeleine Hyland]
I don’t want them to go
[Both]
Oh
[Joey Batey]
Just tell them what your haggard mother told you long ago

[Both]
Pick your chords well loves
But sing your notes off key
You can’t rehearse the chorus
But the verse is sweet
And if your voice begins to crack
If you ever feel alone
They might laugh because you’re leaving
But know we’ll sing your name when you come home

[Verse 3]
[Joey Batey]
Remember today hey we did our best
[Madeleine Hyland]
I know they think I’m nightmare
[Joey Batey]
Come paddle by the shore
[Madeleine Hyland]
I guessed pushed them pushed them all
[Joey Batey]
You are your own magician, let the ocean give to you
[Madeleine Hyland]
And by my own admission, had no notion what to do
[Joey Batey]
Its waves. Oh the waves
[Madeleine Hyland]
Ah bollocks to your waves
[Verse 4]
[Joey Batey]
Remember today you’re enough
[Madeleine Hyland]
Please don’t do this my heart is breaking
[Joey Batey]
Know they love you you tried You did but So did they
[Madeleine Hyland]
But I raged so much But so did they
[Joey Batey]
We built our castles just to watch them wash away
[Madeleine Hyland]
They are my rascals I can’t let them walk away
[Joey Batey]
In the waves, oh the waves
[Madeleine Hyland]
Hold my hand

[Chorus]
[Both]
Oh
[Madeleine Hyland]
I need them to stay
[Both]
Oh
[Joey Batey]
Just remember those wicked words your mother used to say
[Both]
Pick your chords well loves
But sing your notes off key
[Madeleine Hyland]
You dad will forget the words
[Joey Batey]
And fucking bastard what is it
[Madeleine Hyland]
And if your voice begins to crack
[Both]
And you ever feel alone
They might laugh because you’re leaving
But know we’ll sing your name when you come home

[Both]
Walk into your waves my loves
Tell them all your names
Go tell them how we failed you
And gift to us all your blame
Cos we’ll be all that you hate about yourself
So you can grow
Cos life begins by leaving
And our love is shown in the letting go

[Both]
Go walk into your dawn you snotrags
Tell them that we never cared
Go tell them how we fucked you up
And oh my god it’s so unfair
We were the winter nights
So you could be the morning snow
Your life begins by leaving
And our love is shown
In the letting go

[Outro: Both: Madeleine Hyland / Joey Batey]
Be good / be good
Be safe / be safe
Be kind / be kind
And know we’ll always love you
Even though you’re leaving us behind
Be good / be good
Be safe / be safe
Be kind / be kind
And know we’ll always love you
Even though you’re leaving us behind
