FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE – What Kind of Man

A-

This song is from the album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful(2015), released on Jun 02, 2015.
I loved the complexity of the composition. Even though the chords sound simple and the background music is not sophisticated, I loved the vibe and feel of this song. The rhythm felt powerful and groovy, while the energy in the background vocals and the harmonies felt explosive. I hope the rest of this album turns out as great as this song.

[INTRO] G Em Bm x4
[VERSE]
            G
I was on a heavy tip
        Em                   Bm
Tryna cross a canyon with a broken limb
                  G
You were on the other side
      Em                       Bm
Like always, wondering what to do with life
          G
I already had a sip
            Em                        Bm
So I'd reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it
                  G
You were on the other side
       Em                     Bm
Like always, you could never make your mind

[PRE-CHORUS]
C         Am  Em D
And with one kiss
C     Am            Em     D
You inspired a fire of devotion
C               Am  Em D
That lasted 20 years
C            Am     Em
What kind of man loves like this

[INSTRUMENTAL] C Am Bm Em x2

C       Am            Bm     Em
To let me dangle at a cruel angle
C      Am                    Bm D
Oh my feet don't touch the floor
C      Am          Bm               Em
Sometimes you're half in and then you're half out
C      Am           Bm D
But never close the door

[CHORUS]
C              Am   Bm        Em
What kind of man loves like this
C            Am Bm D
What kind of man
C             Am  Bm         Em
What kind of man loves like this
C          Am Bm D
What kind of man

[VERSE]
G               Em
You're a holy fool all coloured blue
Bm                  Em
Red feet upon the floor
G            Em
You do such damage, how do you manage?
Bm
Tryna crawl in back for more

[PRE-CHORUS]
C         Am  Em D
And with one kiss
C     Am            Em     D
You inspired a fire of devotion
C               Am  Em D
That lasted 20 years
C            Am     Em
What kind of man loves like this

[CHORUS]
C              Am   Bm        Em
What kind of man loves like this
C            Am Bm D
What kind of man
C             Am  Bm         Em
What kind of man loves like this
C          Am Bm D
What kind of man

[BRIDGE]
C     Am          Bm
But I can't beat you
           Em
Cause I'm still with you
C    Am          Bm D
Oh mercy I implore
C    Am
How do you do it
Bm  Em
I think I'm through it
C          Am            Bm  D
Then I'm back against the wall

[CHORUS]
C              Am   Bm        Em
What kind of man loves like this
C            Am Bm D
What kind of man
C             Am  Bm         Em
What kind of man loves like this
C          Am Bm D
What kind of man

[CHORUS]
C              Am   Bm        Em
What kind of man loves like this
C            Am Bm D
What kind of man
C             Am  Bm         Em
What kind of man loves like this
C          Am Bm D
What kind of man
