Intro:
Emaj7 - Emaj7add13 - Emaj7 - D#m7 - C#m7 - C#maj9


Emaj7             Emaj7
Scratch the nape, just like a snake
                 D#m7                                   C#maj9
I will shake the scales and dry self I have been dragging
         Emaj7
And I'll walk into the sun
    Emaj7
And I won't bite my thumb
                        D#m7                         C#m7 C#maj9
If the splendor ruptures, I'm gonna take it as it comes

Chorus 1:
C#m7                                   Fm7
Lurch, murky depth can tear your heart cruel
C#m7                                  Fm7
Deep calls to deep, a chance to sift through
C#m7           Fm7 C#m7         Fm7
Harsh may burn you love to seek truth
C#m7       C#maj9
Shed a new view

C#m7                              Fm7
Lurch, murky depth can pull you under
C#m7                              Fm7
Deep calls to deep raucous as thunder
C#m7         Fm7 C#m7      Fm7
Shake the wonder, prey to other
C#m7               C#maj9
Oh, we melt hearts a flutter


Interlude 1:
Emaj7 - Emaj7 - D#m7 - C#m7 - C#maj9
x2


           Emaj7
A new stain etches through the veins
            Emaj7
A small grace bathed in old refrain
                          D#m7
Stretch the frame a little further
                        C#m7 C#maj9
This aria will play again
        Emaj7                              Emaj7
Come now shiver through the soft aching jasmine ribbon around your claws
                          D#m7
Rambles through the heart eons that dart

But never part
        C#m7             C#maj9
Now I finish the morning spark


Chorus 1:
C#m7                                   Fm7
Lurch, murky depth can tear your heart cruel
C#m7                                  Fm7
Deep calls to deep, a chance to sift through
C#m7           Fm7 C#m7         Fm7
Harsh may burn you love to seek truth
C#m7       C#maj9
Shed a new view
