Chords with lyrics
[Verse 1]
C majorC
We married him on fire
G+G
Like the nuns who married God
E minorEm
Then we jumped out of the airplane
A minorAm
And trusted we would fall
C majorC
Then we traveled through the mountains
DmDm
With our bodies weighed down
FF
By the perfect lovely vision
G Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
In the absence of all sound
[Verse 2]
D C majorC
And though he was a faithful tailor
G+G
Our deeds we must confess
E minorEm
We loved so many others
A minorAm
Despite our wedding dress
C
So when the lace snagged on the fender
G
Of the car he left to drive
FF
When we took it on a bender, when we
G Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
Took it for a ride
[Interlude]
A minorAm G+G
[Verse 3]
C majorC
We wound up thirsty in this jail cell
G
But we heard he's headed here
Em G+G
To excavate this holy well and
A minorAm
Pour it crystal clear
C majorC
And we filled our cup with silence
DmDm
And the words who keep in time
F
With the song that he will sing us
G Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
As forgiveness for our crime
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
G C
Well, love, it's true you're golden-throated
G+G
And your history is long
E minorEm
And you've had so many lovely creatures
A minorAm
Occupy your songs
C majorC
So may we take you to the altar
DmDm
We'll feed you bread and wine
FF
And be swimming in the fountain with you
G Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
'Til the end of time
[Outro]
