Key: F# minorF#m

♫ Verse 1:
    F# minorF#m            Bm7Bm7
A augmentedA dozen crows and then some on the rhododendrons
    Dmaj7Dmaj7       C#7C#7
In the cemetery where I lay
   F# minorF#m          Bm7Bm7
Like Rebecca reigning over Manderley
  Dmaj7Dmaj7         C#7C#7
My foot fell upon your grave
    F# minorF#m          Bm7Bm7
Like a pressure point hidden beneath the soil
     D MajorD         C#7C#7
Down came sheets of pouring hail
 F# minorF#m            Bm7Bm7
I sheltered in the church's archway then
     D MajorD              C#7C#7
From the shards of glass falling so pale

♫ Chorus:
F# minorF#m             E minorEm    B minorBm
And I looked up and saw the sun, it separated all the colors
    E MajorE           D MajorD        C#7C#7
And the ice, into my eyes, it fell and left me blind
       F# minorF#m        B minorBm             C#m7C#m7   C#7C#7
That was the last thing that I saw, the fractured glass in its downpour
      F# minorF#m        B minorBm         C#C#
I felt the blood mix with the water and I didn't see no more

♫ Verse 2:
F# minorF#m            Bm7Bm7
 I came across an injured dove
D MajorD            C#7C#7
I wanted to put her out of her misery
F# minorF#m            B minorBm
There came no signal from above
D MajorD              C#7C#7
No sign, no guide, I thought whatever could this mean
F# minorF#m              Bm7Bm7
And with my hand I picked her up
Dmaj7Dmaj7            C#7C#7
 And in that moment, oh, it shifted magically
F# minorF#m              Bm7Bm7  Dmaj7Dmaj7    F# minorF#m
For when her feathers felt my touch, I saw her a demon

Feathers, they turned black
B minorBm       F# minorF#m       C#7C#7
Oh, she was no Phoenix, but a creature of the ash

♫ Chorus:
     F# minorF#m       E MajorE
I let her go, she hit the ground
      D MajorD         C#7C#7
I heard the thud, regained her color
    F# minorF#m         E MajorE      B minorBm       C#C#
Saw the scars, she had been bound by someone and left to die

♫ Bridge:
        B minorBm
I never really found that dove
      A augmentedA
It's just a story I made up
         D MajorD
Because I wanted all of this to stop
         A augmentedA
And I didn't know how to tell you
D MajorD           B minorBm    D MajorD
 I didn't know how (mhm, mhm, mhm)
A augmentedA           B minorBm  D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE
Oh, I didn't know how (mhm, mhm, mhm) (ooh)

♫ Chorus:
       B minorBm      D MajorD      A augmentedA
And I looked up, into the sun, it separated all the colors
    B minorBm              A augmentedA
And the ice into my eyes, it fell and left me blind
       Bm7Bm7       D MajorD       A augmentedA     E MajorE
And I looked up, and saw the sun, it separated all the colors
    B minorBm     D MajorD         A augmentedA        E MajorE
And the ice into my eyes, it fell and changed my mind
