An Evening I Will Not Forget - Dermot Kennedy

[Intro]
C
When love was found
G
I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to
Am G F
Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue.

C
Coming down
G
We've had problems that we've grown through
Am G F
But I bet you dream of what you could do.

[Verse]

F G Am
At seventeen I was alright
F G Am
Was like nothing I could feel inside
F G Am
And wishing you were here tonight
F G Am
Is like holding on.

F G Am
But I still get to see your face, right?
F G Am
And that's like nothing they can take, right?
F G
So there won't be no feeling in the firelight
Am
Hoping this will be right
F G Am
Time to show your worth child.

[Pre-Chorus]
F
I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit
G
That's no way to be living kid
Am
The angel of death is ruthless.
 F
And I'm always thinking summertime with the bikes out
G
pushing our luck getting wiped out
Am
Days with nothing but laughing loud.

F
Underneath my coat won't you tap my shoulder, hold my hand
G
Nights with nothing but dark in there
Am
You can be my armour then.

F
Islands smiles and cardigans
G
The nights that we've been drinking in
Am
We're here to help you kill all of this hurt that you've been harbouring.

F
Confessions should be better planned
G
Alone, that night, I'm surely damned
Am
Run away, I'll understand.

[Chorus]
F
What's important is this evening I will not forget
G
Purple, blue, orange, red
Am
These colours of feeling, give me love, I'll put my heart in it.

F
I think about it all the time
G
The lights went out, you were fine
Am
You kinda struggle not to shine.
 F
I still love you though,
G
I still love you though,
Am
I still love you always.

F
So hold me when I'm home,
G
keep the evenings long
Am
Crack and break and part ways.

F
I still love you though,
G
I still love you though,
Am
I still love you always.

So hold me when I'm home,

G
keep the evenings long
Am
Crack and break and part ways.

And I wonder if I can let it down.

[Final]

It's for real, it's for real.

F G Am

Am
It's for real, it's for real.
