  			Chords for Ellijah by Lake Street Dive. I love this song and the chords are really easy. 
There are quite a few little guitar solos inbetween the G chord, which are mostly just  
freestyle. I haven't figured that out yet so this is purely just chords. Enjoy!!!:))) 

verse 1: 
(all the verses are simply just G and some licks) 
  G 
Elijah has brains and long legs and wears jeans at his hip 

and nary a girl in the world has been missed by his grip 

He's long curly hair, that when wet, goes as far as his chin 

and his knowledge of poets and punks is debatably thin 

      F                      C                      G 
The thing i like most about him is what I see on the surface 
      F                          C                        G 
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus 

F  D   G 
Oh Elijah! 

G 
Elijah, he lay in psychosis one bright sunny day 

and even in sleep I cannot make myself walk away 

So pretty was he, I said something I couldn't retract 

and so for three years, he spent most of his time in the sack 

F                        C                           G 
Although it's November, I know we won't make it to christmas 
F                               C                          G         E 
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus 

F   D   G     E 
Oh Elijah! 

F   D   G 
Oh Elijah! 

G 
Elijah once told me in private that he'd like a break 

although he revealed through his actions that he was a fake 

And so, then in public I told him that he's too dependent 

and now to this day I maintain that I am unrepentant 

F                           C                       G 
All he can see through the tunnel is none of his business 
F                               C                           G 
Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus 

F  D  G       E 
Oh Elijah! 

F  D  G       E 
Oh Elijah! 

F  D  G       E 
Oh Elijah! 

F  D  G       E 
Oh Elijah! 

Outro: F D G E (four times)
