The Flinch

C

[Verse]

C
Maybe next year is the line that you hear
       Am                G  F
In the city I got stuck waiting
     C
For something to give, so tentative
      Am                G   F
That mantra I just kept saying
          C  Am  G  F
Whoa-oh-oh
          C  Am  G  F
Whoa-oh-oh

[Verse]

C
Everyone around this cold hard town
       Am                            G         F
Has a dream that they can't seem to quite run down
      C
Your car gets towed or you run out of road
     Am                          G           F
You learn how to fight but The Flinch just grows

[Chorus]

Am                     G
But I don't wanna look back now
C                 F                Am
Regret is like a street beat down
    C                  F    G
It keeps you on your knees
Am              G
The ringing of that broken bell
C                   F           Am
It always seems to cast a spell
   C                 F
I know I flinched before
         G
I ain't flinching anymore

[Interlude]

C Am G F

[Verse]

C
She came along like one of those songs
          Am                      G   F
That you hear and you can't stop singing
     C
The Flinch started in like a phantom limb
      Am                   G  F
That broken bell's always ringing

[Chorus]

Am                   G
But I don't want to look back now
C                  F                Am
Or waste a lyric about leaving town
     C             F         G               Am
Her face is all I see, she's waiting by the sea
                G               C
The ringing of that broken bell
                    F           Am
It always seems to cast a spell
       C                      F
I was young and I flinched before
         G
I ain't flinching anymore

[Bridge]

Dm                      F
Always stuck in my own way
        C       G
Always falling down
Dm                             F
Her song's the home I want to stay
             C         G
It's like a brand new sound

[Outro]

Am               G         C   F   Am  C  F
I don't want to look back now
      G              Am
She's waiting by the sea
                G
The ringing of that broken bell
C                   F
It always seems to cast its spell
Am     C                      F
I was young and I flinched before
        G             C    Dm   F
I ain't flinching anymore
        G             C    Dm   F
I ain't flinching anymore
        G             C    Dm   F
I ain't flinching anymore
               G           C   Dm  F
I don't want to look back now
         G            C
I ain't flinching anymore
