Transpose up

(INTRO)

(VER)

Without

shame

Two outfits then to my

name

You’d

end up in one

When you’d

stay

We had

nowhere to go

And

every

sire for

going

there

I heard

once

It’s the

comforts that make us feel

numb

We’d go

out with no way to get

home

And we’d

sleep on

somebody’s

floor

And

wake up fee

ling like a

millionaire

(PRE CHO)

Wish I had

known

Was

just our

turn (We just got by)

Being

blamed for a

world

We had

no power

in (But we tried)

You and

I had

nothin’

show (We didn’t know)

But the

best of the

world

In the

palm of our

hands (Anything darlin’)

(CHO)

And

darlin'

I haven’t felt it since

then

don’t know how the feelin’

ended

But

I know being

reckless and young

not how the

damage gets

done

(VER)

One time

we would

want for

nothin’

(One time we had it all, love)

We knew

what our

love was

worth

(When we had nothing)

Now we’re

always

missing

something

(I miss when)

I miss

when we

did not need much

(VER)

Oh, if the

car

ran

The car was e

nough

If the

sun shone on us, it’s a

plus

And the

tank was

always filled up

Only

nough for our

gettin’

there

(PRE CHO)

That first

car was like

wings

On an

angel (You flew away)

fore the

whole wide

world

Got too

thin (From me then)

I swear C

goodwill

kept up the

engine

You were

steerin’ my

heart

Like a

wheel in your

hands (Turn back, darling)

(CHO)

And

darlin'

I haven’t felt it since

then

I C

don’t know how the feelin’

ended

But

I know being

reckless and young

not how the

damage gets

done

(INSTRUMENTAL BRI)

(OUTRO)

All I

needed

was

some

one

When the

whole wide

world

felt

young

All I

needed

was

some

one

When the

whole wide

world

felt

young

ABOUT

Song based on G scale and played with 5 chords.

In the song “Damage Gets Done,” Hozier asks Brandi Carlile to think about the empty feeling when we’re young and not serious compared to when we’re thoughtlessly destructive. They also talk about the real damage we cause to the planet and society over time. This song is inspired by Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy and focuses on the idea of greed, using the 4th circle of hell from the story as a reference.
