Louis holds their hands

As he’s walking down the street

Eyes down to see them at his feet

And then he laughs

Another heart attack

And the sky opens up

Down comes the ash

The more we try
E F#m G#m
To see through the lies
A
Out from Versailles
E F#m G#m
En dies Irae

And they say
A E F#m G#m
"Drop me into the sea

'cause I don’t see the Irony"

And then I see

My messiah took it all from me

The burning papers

Of a liar
E
And then he laughs
C#m
Another heart attack

All those things you learn to steal

N.C. A
Cause the moment you fall
A
He’ll start to look tall
E
Take a minute off the hour
E
And he’ll still try to stall
A
As the seasons go by
A
He’ll stand by your side
E
Take a bite out of your ear
C#m A E C#m A E C#m
And tell you what’s fine
