Chords with lyrics

verse 1

G+G            D MajorD
In the beginning we were scrambled together
       C majorC           G+G
Mixed in a celestial bowl and hand fluffed with a feather
    E minorEm    D MajorD        C majorC
And the tears of bliss were not amiss

  G+G       D MajorD
The second day, we created the earth
C majorC              G+G
Tickled in irony as we made love upon it's girth
      E minorEm      D MajorD        C majorC
And to our delight, the sun gave us the stars

  G+G             D MajorD
The creation of the moon was a miracle of light
 C majorC                 G+G
Descended from the rift in the dark star of night
  E minorEm      D MajorD               C majorC
My veins pulsed butter as it illuminated your thighs

    G+G           D MajorD
On the fourth day, we felt compelled to whistle
  C majorC             G+G
For how could we call the love birds to nestle
      E minorEm       D MajorD       C majorC
And keep us company in this world anew and fresh?

C majorC                 G+G
Today I paint to life, a portrait of the sacred friend, the perfect wife
E minorEm D MajorD     C majorC
In synesthesia
C majorC
Together we have filled the world with colored wine
    G+G
But the story nears the present time
  E minorEm        D MajorD    C majorC
Of restlessness and wake up calls


verse 2
G+G             A minorAm
Years have flown fast but then who's counting
  C majorC               G+G             E minorEm
The wars have been won but there's few left standing between us
    D MajorD          C majorC
And the shadows of Christmas past

G+G            A minorAm
Critically acclaimed but sadly underrated
C majorC                 G+G
Fortune definitely favored us, but no one celebrated
  E minorEm    D MajorD         C majorC
Our wits were splitting at their ends...

  C majorC
We gazed upon the city lights
    G+G                 E minorEm
We each laughed aloud one final time and agreed:
    D MajorD        C majorC
This is one thing we'll miss
     C majorC
And as we held our breath and forced our will
  G+G
The minutes stopped, the air was still
  E minorEm       D MajorD       C majorC
And minds began to unlearn their faulted ways


Bridge
            C majorC
We blasted through the hills!
                        G+G
They were the first to go, and the most painful so

Because we made them first when we learned to bleed
     E minorEm              D MajorD
With our fingers on the seeds that we sowed in the dirt
     C majorC
And then cried when we came in the glorious masterwork of life ending
   G+G
And beginning again
   E minorEm           D MajorD
We ignored the pleas of the forest and the seas
   C majorC
As we scorched the earth with our tears?


Outro
         C majorC
We burned them in fear
       C majorC
Until there's nothing left
C majorC
Nothing left
     C majorC
Nothing, nothing left
  G+G
But us
