These are Nightingale Lane chords by RAYE for Piano and Ukulele.
[Intro]
This is a song about
the greatest
heartbreak I have ever known.
The song is called
"Nightingale lane".
[Verse 1]
F
On the street in the
Eb
South London suburbs
Bb/F
Where my first love kissed
F
me goodbye
F
His lips were thin (thin),
and beer-stained (beer-stained)
Eb
and tear-stained
Bb/F
Was a pain that made me colder now
After the oceans I cried,
F
I´m made of steel
Just floating now, mm-mm
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 Dm7
But when I drive (when I drive)
Dm7 Gm7
Down this road (down this uff)
Gm7 F/A Bbm
I reminisce, (Lose my mind)
F/A
I drive slow, I've
let him go now (I,I..)
Dm7
I just see a ghost town
Ebm6
And sometimes at red lights
Ebm6
With closed eyes, I tell myself
Ebm6 Bb/F
I dare myself to go on, just say it
[Chorus]
Bb/F F
Somebody loved me once (Loved me once)
F
And someday somebody will love again
Eb
Like the way you loved me
(Take me back in your arms,
love me right, just tonight)

On Nightingale Lane
(Nightingale Lane,
Nightingale Lane)
Ebm/Bb Bb/F
Although we never made it, stranger
Bb/F
You showed my it´s true
F
I´m capable of loving
someone the way I loved you
Cm/Eb
It was right there,(And it was)
early June (Right next to..)
Next to Old Park Avenue
Ebm/F#
(on Nightingale Lane)
Standing in the rain,
Ebm
I watched him walk away
F
Yeah, ba-bo-boo
[Verse 2]
Eb
Took me long old years
to get over you
Bb
It was an aching I refuse
F
to feel again
F
And looking back now
Eb
We never were quite right
for each other, baby
Bb/F
But in the abscence of
passion in my life
Bbm
I remember how alive
love once was
