Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
G G
Doubt’s an elastic that snaps where you grasp it
Bm F#
With idle hands clasped on your wrist just as sharp as
G G
A kiss on the scar where you carved out her name
Bm F#
Or a line that is straight and confined to your fate
G G
You’re resigned to be damned by your hand in her hand
Bm F#
She will hold you as soft as feather on water
G G
You float on her fingers, she pulls you apart
Bm F# G A Bm
It’s not hard, it won't hurt, it’s not right for a daughter of God
Chorus 1:
D G A Bm
Not for one of his flock
D G A Bm
Not for good little girls
D G G
But good God you’re not
D E
Good girl
Verse 2:
G G
Hate is a bile that starts in your guts
Bm F#
And erupts from your throat like a geyser, you try to provoke
G G Bm
And emote and spit angry black stains on their lies
F#
As they hock more to block out their shame
G G
And their cries, how they try, but it won't be enough
Bm F#
Not as long as you live, you’ll all drown in the stuff
G G Bm
It won't help to be patient, the water will rise after all
F# G A Bm
You’re all in the same place aren’t you, daughter of God?
Chorus 2:
D G A Bm
Just one of his flock
D G A Bm
Like the good little girls
D G G
But good God you’re not
D E
Good girl
Verse 3:
G G
Light, you can see now the dark is receding
Bm F#
Parts leaving, not bleeding, just holes for the healing to start
G G
There’s your heart and it sees with its wings out
Bm F#
It reads what you think in the bones of the body
G G
You shrink and you smile and you try to make small
Bm F#
But the devil sees all and she thinks you’re a beauty
G G
You’re bursting and beating and burning up
Bm F# G A Bm
Hotter each second, the reckoning comes for you daughter of God
Chorus 3:
D G A Bm
Comes for one of his flock
D G A Bm
For the good little girls
D G G
But good God you’re not
A
Good girl
Bridge:

Love is a place where she touches your face, but also your thighs (and it's alright)
G G F# F#
Love is a place where the tide always rises, the ink never dries (and it's alright)

Love is a place where you see with your heart and fly with your eyes (and it's alright)

Love is a place where your innocence goes when it dies

You’ll never know what you could find (let love make you whole, daughter of God)
