What Was That

• Verse 1

Verse 1
F              Am   C               G
A place in the city, a chair and a bed
F          Am                      C            G
I cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yet
F                   Am
I wear smoke like a wedding veil
C                   G
Make a meal I won’t eat
         F                      Am       C
Step out into the street, alone in a sea
         G
It comes over me

Pre-Chorus
        F
Oh, I'm missing you
          C
Yeah, I'm missing you
    G
And all the things we used to do

Chorus
F                Am                        C
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
                                   G
We kissed for hours straight, well baby, what was that?
F                     Am                         C
I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"
         G                 F
Well, I want you just like that
                       Am                             C
Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out
                              G
I didn't know then that you'd never be enough, oh
F                      Am
Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything
     C
Now, we wake from a dream
      G              F
Well, baby, what was that?

Am C G

Post-Chorus
         F     Am C 
What was that?
G               F
Baby, what was that?

Verse 2
F                        Am
Do you know you're still with me
C                    G
When I'm out with my friends?
F              Am                  C              G
I stare at the painted faces that talk current affairs
F                        Am
You had to know this was happening
C                      G
You weren't feeling my heat
         F                          Am              
When I'm in the blue light, down at Baby's All Right 
   C        G
I face reality
F
I try (I try)
   Am
To let (To let)
    G            F                     Am
Whatever has to pass through me, pass through
            C                   G
but this is stayin' a while, I know
                       
It might not let me go

Chorus
F                Am                        C
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
                                   G
We kissed for hours straight, well baby, what was that?
F                     Am                         C
I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"
         G                 F
Well, I want you just like that
                       Am                             C
Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out
                              G
I didn't know then that you'd never be enough, oh
F                      Am
Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything
     C
Now, we wake from a dream
       G             F     Am C G
Well, baby, what was that? 
 
Post-Chorus
         F     Am C 
What was that?
          G                  F   
'Cause I want you just like that
                                  Am               C G
(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)
         F
What was that?
                                  Am               C
(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)
G              F
Baby, what was that?
