Chords with lyrics

Intro: DmDm F7M G+G DmDm

DmDm         F7M
Well, I used to wake and run with the moon
G+G        DmDm
I lived like a rake and a young man
DmDm       F7M
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
G+G         DmDm
My laughter the devil would frighten

F7M     G+G   C majorC   DmDm
The sun she would come and beat me back down
C majorC     G+G     DmDm
But every cruel day had it's nightfall
F7M     G+G    C majorC   DmDm
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars
C majorC    G+G    DmDm
Full of fire and forgetful

DmDm         F7M
Well, my body was sharp, the dark air clean
G+G       DmDm
And outrage my joyful companion
DmDm        F7M
And whisperin' women how sweet did they seem
G+G       DmDm
Kneelin' for me to command them

F7M      G+G    C majorC   DmDm
And time was like water but I was the sea
C majorC    G+G      DmDm
I wouldn't have noticed it passin'
F7M     G+G    C majorC    DmDm
Except for the turnin' of night into day
C majorC       G+G    DmDm
And the turnin' of day into cursin'

DmDm       F7M
They look at me now, don't think I don't know
G+G        DmDm
What all your eyes are sayin'
DmDm         F7M
Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies?
G+G               DmDm
They're just tricks that his brains been playin'

F7M    G+G  C majorC    DmDm
A augmentedA lover of women he can't hardly stand
 C majorC   G+G     DmDm
He trembles, he's bent and he's broken
F7M     G+G    C majorC   DmDm
I've fallen it's true but I say to you
C majorC    G+G      DmDm
"Hold your tongues until after I've spoken"

DmDm           F7M
I was takin' by pride in the pleasure I'd known
  G+G       DmDm
I laughed and said I'd be forgiven
DmDm           F7M
But my laughter turned around, eyes blazing and
    G+G    DmDm
Said, "Friend, we're holdin' a wedding"

F7M    G+G    C majorC    DmDm
I buried my face but it spoke once again
C majorC    G+G    DmDm
Night to the day we're a bindin'
F7M   G+G     C majorC     DmDm
And now the dark air is like fire on my skin
C majorC    G+G    DmDm
And even the moonlight is blinding
F7M    G+G   C majorC     DmDm
Now the dark air's like fire on my skin
C majorC    G+G    DmDm
