Chords with lyrics

(single note: C#, C#, C#, C#C#)


   C#C#      G#G#
I was wasted on the trigger
    A#mA#m     F#F#
in the river, I was waiting
   C#C#       G#G#
I was wanting, never wanting
    A#mA#m       F#F#
what I could not yet become
    C#C#         G#G#
Let the sea change, let's remember
    A#mA#m      F#F#
all the good I did the ending
    C#C#        G#G#
was no more than spare repentance
    A#mA#m       F#F#
This is nothing like my home

    C#C#      G#G#
On the table, I was ready
     A#mA#m         F#F#
Blood it glistened, gods they listened
    C#C#     G#G#
Running wild after chalice
    A#mA#m       F#F#
just to let them take me on
    C#C#        G#G#
See the whirling of the skylights
      A#mA#m       F#F#
Beasts surround me, all around me
      C#C#       G#G#
Trains pull out from under mantles
    A#mA#m      F#F#
just to listen with us all


     A#mA#m     G#G#
And with colours captivating
   F#F#
Eleanor stood cold and waiting
    A#mA#m      G#G#
She was bathing me in blessings
     F#F#
that confronted as I cried
    A#mA#m      G#G#
See the whole of me igniting
    F#F#
Clever hands with brushes biting
     A#mA#m      G#G#
Cross the river to the towers
    F#F#
with remains of every sacrifice inside

   C#C#       G#G#
Oh my precious demon darlings
    A#mA#m        F#F#
come to hold me, death unfold me
    C#C#       G#G#
Colour move me to the chambers
    A#mA#m       F#F#
where I know I'll feel alive
     C#C#      G#G#
Dance in circles, atop grasses
     A#mA#m    F#F#
Crossing over, lo behold her
    C#C#      G#G#
in the places of our reaches
     A#mA#m        F#F#
where the beasts upset their lives

    C#C#       G#G#
But the water ceased to bargain
    A#mA#m         F#F#
We are stranded where we've landed
     C#C#       G#G#
Break the cycle, take us back
      A#mA#m       F#F#
to where we feel we need to be
     C#C#       G#G#
Watching careful, the completion
    A#mA#m        F#F#
of the cosmos, where the zygote
     C#C#         G#G#
Sleeping sound now that I've found
      A#mA#m        F#F#
my dearest friend outside my door


     A#mA#m         G#G#
Bound for new life, masons thunder
    F#F#
East is over, West is under
     A#mA#m         G#G#
Found the hum of drag race runners
    F#F#
Comfort flaring in my sheets
     A#mA#m       G#G#
Now we'll head back up to Monmouth
     F#F#
where the kids are seldom honest
     A#mA#m        G#G#
Cross the borders, past the trainyards
    F#F#
I will enter just to breathe
    A#mA#m         G#G#
But the time will come for lovers
    F#F#
We will cradle one another
    A#mA#m        G#G#
We will wander past the distance
     F#F#       F#F#
from our merry mouths to meet


A#m, G#, C#, (single note: C, C#C#)
