Intro:
G5 D5
C5 D C5 D

Verse 1:
C5        (C)
Wars are raising for her
C5     (Dsus2) D
Crusades to adore her
   C5           D
The light of your afterword

    C5       Am
Are you losing her true nature
     Am      D
When you loosen nomenclature
     C5           D
When you gift another moniker?

    C5      (C)
What’s true is like a sickle
   C5  (Dsus2)  D
It’ll cut you to the middle
     C5            D
That your rose is without a thorn

      C5         Am
But no, my mouth don’t taste of metal
     Am        D
From the pot here to the kettle
  C5                C5
I think we got a lot we gotta learn


Chorus:
  C5       C     F
And even though by any other name
   F         C  (C5)     D
Her scent would linger sweetly, all the same
 F       C
Call her briar long enough
      D             C
And you’ll tangle up the true and the fable


C D
C G D


Verse 2:
   C5
Your dowry, it ain’t fooling
   C5         D
The pyrite is showing through
     C5            D
It won’t buy you that empty tomb

     C5     Am
And no alchemic incantation
    Am       D
For a counterfeit salvation
    C5             D
Can appease your leviathan groom

   C5        (C)
No, love’ll get you slaughtered
    C5     D
Like a ram at the altar
    C5                  D
What is safe ain’t the same as what is good

    C5       Am
So lay compress to the aching
     Am       D
Of your body made for breaking
     C5                C5
Oh we’ve got a lot of breaking left to do


Chorus:
   C5     C      F
Cause even under any other creed
   F        C  (C5)     D
The crucifix and the hangman – they both agree
 F        C
Change comes so cheaply
   D             C
For those of us already at the table


C D
C G D
