[Intro]
Gm  F  Em  Dm
[Verse 1]
BeCtween last breaths and Csus4first Cregrets
The Cdays dragged on like Csus4cigarettCes
In the Cdistance martyrs and Csus4martineCts
GmDally, Fdancing with the Emempty silhoDmuettes of threats
[Verse 2]
So, Cwhere but heaven Csus4does loCve end
And Cwhere on earth does Csus4it begiCn
It's Cnot the kind of Csus4love thCat is Gmpinned
Like a Fmedal or Empresses pennies Gin a tin
[Chorus]
FThere is hope, Gand after that, Fthere is only Cfaith
FLove like a Cwraith
DmNever made me Gafraid
FmConsoled as I was by that Cshade
[Post-Chorus]
FHere lie the Croses Gin the Cashes
FDeep as the CbarnaGcles that Ccling
FJust like a Clace that Gruns through CeveryDmone and Geverything
[Verse 3]
CIn that other Csus4still foCrever
CIn that time beCsus4fore the Cpast
I Ctold myself we'd Csus4be togCether
GmCan you Fpromise me that Emit will be eGternally?
[Chorus]
FThere is hope, Gand after that, Fthere is only Cfaith
FLove like a Cwraith
DmNever made me Gafraid
FmConsoled as I was
[Outro]
N.C.
Consoled as I was
ConFsoled as I was by that CshadeF  C

From the album "Momofuku" by Elvis Costello and the Imposters (2008)

[Intro]

Gm F Em Dm

[Verse 1]

C Csus4 C

Between last breaths and first regrets

C Csus4 C

The days dragged on like cigarettes

C Csus4 C

In the distance martyrs and martinets

Gm F Em Dm

Dally, dancing with the empty silhouettes of threats

[Verse 2]

C Csus4 C

So, where but heaven does love end

C Csus4 C

And where on earth does it begin

C Csus4 C Gm

It's not the kind of love that is pinned

F Em G

Like a medal or presses pennies in a tin

[Chorus]

F G F C

There is hope, and after that, there is only faith

F C

Love like a wraith

Dm G

Never made me afraid

Fm C

Consoled as I was by that shade

[Post-Chorus]

F C G C

Here lie the roses in the ashes

F C G C

Deep as the barnacles that cling

F C G C Dm G

Just like a lace that runs through everyone and everything

[Verse 3]

C Csus4 C

In that other still forever

C Csus4 C

In that time before the past

C Csus4 C

I told myself we'd be together

Gm F Em G

Can you promise me that it will be eternally?

[Chorus]

F G F C

There is hope, and after that, there is only faith

F C

Love like a wraith

Dm G

Never made me afraid

Consoled as I was

[Outro]

Consoled as I was

F C F C

Consoled as I was by that shade
