SOFT OFFERING (FOR THE OFT SUFFERING)

Dm Eb

    Dm    Eb           Dm   Gm
the long knife of the sun rising
F           Bb           F      Bb     Eb
up the horizon and into our tired eyes

    Dm    Eb           Dm   Gm
the spell of night is struck down
F           Bb           F      Bb     Eb
our second sight is bleeding out

F                 Bb           Eb
anna. can i come and walk you home?
F                 Bb           Eb
i?m not gonna wanna be alone
F                 Bb           Eb
beaten up when the sunlight comes
F                 Bb           Eb
bullied and cut by the clock on the wall

Bb                           F       Gm
take the morning and the chlorinous light
Bb                           F       Gm
you can have the afternoon. bury the evening too
Bb                           F       Gm
give me gathering calm of the night
Dm       Eb             Dm          Eb
when the day is done and the rest is coming on

Bb                           F       Gm
under the pitch and the pull of the moon
Bb                           F       Gm
sweet silver medicine swim in my temples and
Bb                           F       Gm
bring in the shadows to cover our flaws
Dm       Eb             Dm          Eb
when the pain is gone and the rest is coming on

F           Bb           F      Bb     Eb
out in the streets when everyone else is asleep

 Dm    Eb           Dm   Gm
see the way the body sways
F           Bb              F            Bb
in empty air when there's nobody there
             F    Bb    Eb
and you don?t even care if there is

F                 Bb           Eb

F                 Bb           Eb
cover your shame with a shield of black
F                 Bb           Eb
cover your body with my trembling hands
F                 Bb           Eb
have you dancing while i hold them back

Bb                           F       Gm
hold back the morning and her chlorinous light
Bb                           F       Gm

Bb                           F       Gm

bring in the shadows to cover our wounds
Dm       Eb             Dm          Eb
