Dry The River - Vessel
Tuning: half-step down
G+G
Verse 1:
G+G
I knelt at the sink,
E minorEm D/F#D/F#
Like a priest or a prince
D MajorD C majorC
Maybe I'm to be king
G+G
And they're waiting at Westminster
G+G
And the walls are paper thin
E minorEm D/F#D/F#
I hear the neighbours arguing
D MajorD C majorC
Could you lower your voice?
G+G
I would sell my unborn daughter (maybe)

Verse 2:
G+G
We didn't stage a passion play
E minorEm D/F#D/F#
Didn't change our given names
D MajorD C majorC
Or waltz to our bed
G+G
Or need to make a scene
G+G
But I see your skin, paler now
E minorEm D/F#D/F#
Than the host in your mouth
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Where the truth never seems to be

It whispers like

I don't wanna be your vessel any more

I don't wanna be your vessel any more
A minorAm G+G
These are my words, this is my mouth
D MajorD E minorEm G+G
I don't wanna be your vessel now
A minorAm
And I may not see the future
But I see its lonely architect
E minorEm D MajorD
At the door of my house
A minorAm G+G
I don't wanna be your vessel any more

I don't wanna be a vessel of your doubt

Verse 3:
G+G
Truly I never dreamt
E minorEm D/F#D/F#
Of all the dumb accoutrement
D MajorD C majorC
I would want for myself
G+G
For the shelf
G+G
I laid it all at your feet
E minorEm D/F#D/F#
On your neck and your cheek
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
But the burning branch wouldn't speak to me
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
I don't wanna be your vessel any more

I don't wanna be your vessel any more

These are my rules, this is my house
D MajorD E minorEm G+G
I don't wanna be your vessel now
A minorAm
And I may not see the future
But I see its lonely architect
E minorEm D MajorD
At the foot of my bed
A minorAm G+G
I don't wanna be your vessel any more
D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Didn't wanna be your vessel anyway
