• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

[Verse 1: Ethel Cain]
G
There's a hole in the wall where you keep your head
C
Lost it one too many times
               G
Say your mama's funeral's next Sunday
C                            Cmaj7
What'd your daddy go and do now?
                   G                                                                           C
No matter just how hard they cry, a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog and they still get hungry
              Cmaj7
And they look hungry
G                                           C
So once you're dead, who'll be there to let them out?

[Interlude: Ethel Cain]
Cmaj7
(And suddenly, he opened the door
And he yelled at the top of his lungs
"Lord Jesus")
G
You don't need me like you think you do
                     C
And I can't pull you through
 G
You just need to feel like someone wants you
                  Cmaj7
And I promise you they do

[Verse 2: Ethel Cain]
               G
You are young, you are young
                                                  Cmaj7
You're too young, and you cry 'til you're soaking wet
             G                                      C   Cmaj7
You're not your father, but you wear his clothes to bed
                         G
Goin' over something he said
All-American
                               C     Cmaj7     G       C       G
No good, worn through, and on fire (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
                  D                  C
And they'll chew holes in whatever's left
                      D
'Til there's nothing left

[Chorus: Ethel Cain]
G
You've tasted love and it tasted sweet
D
You drank the blood and bit the meat
C
If you hold it and it cries
D
You should let it go
G
I'm trying hard, so baby, please
D
Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
Cmaj7                      D
Please, I'm already on my knees
          G
In God's country
D C D
Ah, ah, ah

[Post-Chorus: Ethel Cain]
G
You smell like gasoline
                                       Cmaj7
Trailing the death of me when you come home
C
Then you're gone
G
Stained like the memories
                       C
Stuffed under the car seat
Dmaj7     G
Behind me (Behind me, behind me)
I'm not coming back
                     C
I'm not coming back again (Oh, oh)
                   G
You ruined all of that
I always told you that
                       C
Your white horse can't hold your hand
                  Cmaj7
So it passed you running again and again

[Verse 3: Wicca Phase Springs Eternal]
G
Drive the pathway through the pines
And the moors of mystery
C                                        Cmaj7
Welcome conflict and let crisis come and shake the ground beneath
         G
And the family secret hiding
In the farmhouse down the street
        C
Rushes open door on your front porch
Cmaj7          C
And shadows me
G
Taken and entirely, I embraced the bonny beast
C              Cmaj7                                    C
Over hills and highlands, we rode hard the passing peaks
G
Danger liked the virgin wife, beside me she would sleep
Cmaj7                Cmaj9          Cmaj7
Cherry was her dad's truck that she crashed at seventeen
 G
I kneel before what temper broke the branches on the beach
          Cmaj7
And those thrilling highs and southern nights are always out of reach

[Pre-Chorus: Wicca Phase Springs Eternal]
      G
I learned a lesson
          D
I need to pray and hard
Final hours
Cmin                D
Take care of me God

[Chorus: Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, Ethel Cain & Wicca Phase Springs Eternal]
G
You've tasted love and it tasted sweet
D
You drank the blood and bit the meat
C
If you hold it and it cries
D
You should let it go
G
I'm trying hard, so baby, please
D
Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
Cmaj7                      D
Please, I'm already on my knees
          G

[Post-Chorus: Ethel Cain]
C D G C D G
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Aah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

[Bridge: Ethel Cain, Ethel Cain & Wicca Phase Springs Eternal]
G
Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
C                              Cmaj7
Don't sink in me with your dog teeth, ah
G
Taken and entirely I embraced the bonny beast (Don't sink in me)
C                                                         G
Over hills and highlands we rode hard the passing peaks (Don't sink in me)

Danger like the virgin wife beside me she would sleep (Don't sink in me)
D              Dsus4        G
Cherry was her dad's truck that she crashed at seventeen (Don't sink in me)
Em      Am      Gm         G
I kneel before what temper broke the branches on the beach (Don't sink in me)
G          C                                      D
And those thrilling highs and southern nights are always
      G
Always

[Chorus: Ethel Cain, Ethel Cain & Wicca Phase Springs Eternal]
                                  D
You've tasted love and it tasted sweet
                                C
You drank the blood and bit the meat
                             D
If you hold it and it cries, you should let it go
G                        D
I'm trying hard so baby, please
                                    C
Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
                       D
God, I'm already on my knees
         G      D
In God's country
C G D C
Ah, ah
G
In God's country
