Keane - Sovereign Light Café (Acoustic) - Live at Amoeba Records in San Francisco chords
Start Jamming...
[B] [N] It's gonna be good.
Whoo!
Will Maxwell!
Will Maxwell, Jesus.
[F#] If I can [N] even remember how that one goes, I would love to sing it [B] for you.
[E]
[C#m] [C#] [N] Closer now.
Closer now, wow, okay.
You guys are the Hardcore [D#] Rhyming team.
[E] You [Em] know songs that have never even been released?
[B] Impressive.
[G#m] Songs that [E] we wrote about 15 years ago.
[Bm] [A#] What?
[G#m]
Release them?
[D#] I was far too stupid to do that.
[E] [D#] There was that one too.
We could stand here all day, couldn't we?
Just listening to old songs that [F] we've done.
We're going to do a new one though, is that alright?
[N]
[B]
I was getting [D#] ready to play Slow Down today.
[G#] It'll [B]
[D#] [B] [Gm]
[Dm] [Gm] be embarrassing [D#] because we'll get halfway through the first verse
and then we'll just look at each [B] other physically.
[D#]
[D#m] [N]
[D#] [N]
We, I mean, that Slow Down we wrote before Jesse joined the band
so he probably doesn't even, probably hasn't even heard of that one.
Jesse just said he'd never even heard it.
Still kind of better than me.
[C#m] Can anyone out there play [A] bass?
[F] [Dm]
[C] [Dm] [Am] [A#]
Right, we're going to do [Dm] The Strawberry Light Cafe if that's alright.
[E]
I'm [B] [G#m]
[B] [D#]
[B] going back to the time when we both used to
Down [E] by the mill later in the batches
[C#m] We were [B] friends and lovers and [G#m] through the ice [F#] well
I didn't know I [B] was fine enough how I'd be turned from you
When [E] they talked about things we were gonna [C#m] do
We [B] were wide-eyed dreamers, [G#m] the noisier the tune
[F#]
We'd go down [E] to the rides on East [B] Parade
By the [G#m] lights of the Palace [F#] Arcade at watch night
[E] Coming down to [G#m] Strawberry Light [C#m] [F#] Cafe
[Bm]
[F#] I'm begging you, pass [B] on the signs, you still got nothing to say
[E] Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
[B] I'm a better man now [G#m] than I was back [F#] in the day
Let's go down [E] to the rides on East [B] Parade
[G#m] By the lights of the
[F#] Palace Arcade
[E] Coming down to Strawberry [B] Light Cafe
[F#]
Let's go [B] down [E] to the bandstand [B] on the pier
Let [G#m] the drunks and lovers [F#] up in the stairs
[E] Start the [B] Strawberry Light [F#] Cafe
I'm [E] [F#] without [B] my bike or [F#] the train
Often I'll trade [E] roads [F#] for [B] you
From Marble [F#] Lane to every building, every [G#m] street sign
Oh, why did we ever [E] go so far?
[F#]
You've got [B] nothing to hide, you've got a chance to use it all
You [E] can get a big house and a faster [C#m] car
You [B] can be a boy, but [G#m] you won't go [F#] too far
Let's go down [E] to the rides on East [B] Parade
[G#m] By the lights of the Palace [F#] Arcade
[E] Coming down to Strawberry [B] Light Cafe
[F#]
Let's [D#m] go [E] down to the bandstand [B] on the pier
Watch [G#m] the drunks and the lovers [F#] up in the stairs
[E] Start the Strawberry [B] Light [D#] Cafe
[F#m] [F#] [B] [E] Shaddaaah!
[B] Yeah!
[G#m]
[F#] People [E] know My [B] name is
[F#]
[B] [E] the root [B] of
all the things
[G#m] [F#m] [E]
