Velvet Ring - Big Thief
[Verse 1]
G Bm C
Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb
G Bm C
The light would flicker like a violent womb
G Bm C
The night was thicker than a smokey fume
G Em Bm C
Eliza waited in the room
[Verse 2]
G Bm C
Ben, he loved her like he loved no one
G Bm C
The way she laughed and held a smoking gun
G Bm C
The way she always said what's done is done
G Em Bm C
And he is not the only one
[Chorus]
G
Love is a gentle thing
Csus2 G Csus2
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Csus2
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
[Verse 3]
G Bm C
A victim healer with a sharp sharp blade
G Bm C
Ben, he knew how she was getting paid
G Bm C
Her water broke and they would have to wait
[Verse 4]
G Bm C
When he knew that she was fooling
G Bm C
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing
G Bm C
We're outta money and we sold the bling
G Bm Em C
And I just wanna take you home,
G Bm Em C
I just wanna take you home
[Chorus]
G
Love is a gentle thing
Csus2 G Csus2
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Csus2
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
[Outro]
G C Em
And I am wandering
G
I am wandering
