"Barbaric"
 
Standard tuning.
 
 
[Intro]
C  Bm  G   F
C  Am  Dm  F
 
 
[Verse]
   C
   Who blinks first
Bm
   You’re gonna win
G             F
   The fallen doves of lovers’ vows
C         Am         Dm    F
   In the world all around us
           C                      Bm
   And I'd like if you’ve got the time
G     F                C           Am         Dm         F
   To talk to you about what this breakup has done to me
 
 
[Chorus]
          C   Dm   C              Dm                     Am
   I have lost the feeling that I thought I’d never lose
C                 F      C
   Now where am I going
           C   Dm    C              Dm                     Am
   At what cost, the feeling that I thought I’d never lose
C           F     C
   It is barbaric
 
 
[Verse]
      C             Bm
  Now you can’t play to every taste
G            F
  The powder keg of common cause
C        Am       Dm  F
  All of us carry trauma
         C               Bm
  And in lieu of an explanation
G        F                    C       Am          Dm F
  I will pour oil from the cup on the pyre of abdication
 
 
[Chorus]
           C   Dm
  You have lost
      C                Dm                       Am
  The feeling that you thought you’d never lose
C                   F      C
  Now where are you going, darling
          C   Dm    C                Dm                       Am
  At what cost, the feeling that you thought you’d never lose
C              F     C
  And it is barbaric
 
 
[Bridge]
Am                    C
  Empty grove, winter darkness
        Ab                             G
  We're taking down the scaffolds very soon
           Am                            Ab
  Crow dappled the lonely baubles on the plane tree
                                        G
  The can of soup and heating up to ten
                 F
  Which leads me to the part
            G
  Where we agreed on different dreams
 
 
[Chorus]
                        C   Dm   C               Dm                      Am
  And that we never had lost the feeling that we thought we’d never lose
C                  F     C
  Now where are we going
          C   Dm    C               Dm                      Am
  At what cost, the feeling that we thought we’d never lose
C          F     C
  It is barbaric
          C   Dm   C               Dm                      Am
  We have lost the feeling that we thought we’d never lose
C                  F     C
  Now where are we going
          C   Dm   C               Dm                      Am
  We have lost the feeling that we thought we’d never lose
C          F      C
  It is barbaric, darling
          C   Dm   C               Dm                      Am
  We have lost the feeling that we thought we’d never lose
C                  F     C
  Now where are we going
          C   Dm   C               Dm                      Am
  We have lost the feeling that we thought we’d never lose
C          F     C
  It is barbaric

I am confused if its plane tree or plain tree? I know the official youtube lyric video says plane free. What is a plane tree? I could understand plain tree.

Towards the end the chorus is something like C, C+, C6, C7, Am. At least that's what the strings imply. What a lovely tune, a career highlight.
