about

I wrote Plasterboard about the first relationship that truly inspired me. I met someone who’s combination of personality, outlook and drive I had never come across before, who made me feel calm and at ease with the unpredictability of life and fierce about achieving my dreams. Unfortunately we were one of those unpredictable things, and distance prevented us from reaching a place where we could feel strongly enough to commit, and one of us sacrifice our personal visions to be closer to the other. So, with all its shiny newness and promising horizons, we had to end it before it really had a chance to grow. It wasn’t until a while afterwards that I could really look back and reflect on the impact this crossing of paths had had on me, and so ’Plasterboard’ was born.

lyrics

PIANO

INTRO CHORUS
A B
I’m gonna miss you more
C#m7 B
Than anyone before
A B E
Cos you’re the first to know me

A B
You reached into my core
C#m7 B
Like it was plasterboard
A B C#m
It’s gonna heal slowly

V1
C#m7
You were in the room with me
Always to the nth degree
F#
Always
A B C#m7
Shame that the room never came to us

Only dipped my toes in you
Painting walls the same shade of blue
Building a home that we’d never see

PRE-CHORUS
F#m B
I wanted to come home to you
E
Close miles between
Db F#m
Cos coming home to a phone is mean
B E A
Its a wonder I didn’t fall cos I


CHORUS
A B
I’m gonna miss you more
C#m7 B
Than anyone before
A B E
Cos you’re the first to know me

A B
You reached into my core
C#m7 B
Like it was plasterboard
A B
It’s gonna heal slowly
E C#m A C#m A
No one else got to know me like you do

V2
C#m
Shut my eyes and fill my lungs with air like a balloon
A F#m C#m
Where are you you’re not there to take off with me
A B
Or bring me back down to Earth with your blue eyes


[PRE-CHORUS]

BRIDGE
A B
Saw you again and my brain fried
Cdim C#m7
Felt the rubble creepin up for a landslide
A B B7
Thought whatever we were was buried and gone but hey I was wrong

LAST CHORUS
I’m gonna miss you more
Than anyone before
Cos you’re the first to know me
You showed me I could hold
Anything that life throws
And smile in the morning
