After The Scripture chords by Manchester Orchestra

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Half-step down


Em, G, C, E minorEm x2


E minorEm     G+G    C majorC        E minorEm
After the scripture, We started to pray
       G+G   C majorC       E minorEm
Holdin' our hands up, Waitin' for change
     G+G    C majorC        E minorEm
I hardly knew you, You knew me the same
        G+G         C majorC       E minorEm
So we built a shelter, While we turned the weak away

Em, G, C, E minorEm x2


E minorEm       G+G   C majorC        E minorEm
Your mother beside me, Rattlin' her brain
       G+G  C majorC      E minorEm
Makin' an offering, Pacing the pain
      G+G   C majorC       E minorEm
We took a picture, Placed it in frame
      G+G      C majorC        E minorEm
We built a fire, And we turned the cold away


    C majorC     G+G    D MajorD   E minorEm
And I know it's not what you desire
   C majorC      G+G      D MajorD    E minorEm
This pain can't crumble, Won't soon retire


Em, G, C, E minorEm x2


D/F#D/F#   D MajorD          C majorC         G+G
Everybody there was trying to hide some great desire
D/F#D/F#     D MajorD       C majorC         G+G
Put away the positives and let that good girl die
D/F#D/F#    D MajorD           C majorC       G+G
Everybody's prayers were turned into a gradual sigh
   C majorC         G+G      D MajorD
So I paced around the backyard for a while


E minorEm      G+G    C majorC        E minorEm
That was a bee sting, A augmentedA speck in my eye
      G+G   C majorC         E minorEm
A augmentedA casual movement, A augmentedA thief in the night
        G+G    C majorC       E minorEm
Now I can't forget you, Sword in my side
       G+G    C majorC       E minorEm
Candle that burned me, Deliver me light


    C majorC    G+G    D MajorD   E minorEm
And I know it's not what you desire
    C majorC     G+G      D MajorD    E minorEm
This pain can't crumble, Won't soon retire
