Lyrics


Verse 1:
 D/A    D/B  D/F#     A   A/G
Now that I fell into your arms
     G/B
My only lover
         D/A
Give out to give in
  A/G      D/F#   A/E   A/G
I search for the capsule I lost


Verse 2:
 D/A    D/B     D/F#     A   A/G
Drag me to hell in the valley of The Dalles
     G/B
Like my mother
         D/A
Give wings to a stone
   A/G    D/F#    A/E   A/G
It’s only the shadow of a cross


Interlude:
 Bm   F#m   G    D/A
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhhh, Ohhhhhh,
 A/E    A/G
Ohhhhhh, Ohhhhh


Verse 3:
 D/A     D/B     D/F#        A  A/G
I slept on my back in the shade of the meadowlark
    G/B
Like a champion
         D/A
Get drunk to get laid
  A/G     D/F#      A/E  A/G
I take one more hit when you depart


Verse 4:
 D/A       D/B        D/F#    A   A/G
I'll drive that stake through the center of my heart
    G/B
Lonely vampire
       D/A
Inhaling its fire
   A/G     D/F#    A/E  A/G
I’m chasing the dragon too far


Interlude:
 Bm   F#m   G    D/A
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhhh, Ohhhhhh,
 A/E    A/G
Ohhhhhh, Ohhhhh


Verse 5:
     D/A      D/B
There’s blood on that blade
 D/F#         A   A/G
Fuck me, I'm falling apart
  G/B
My assassin
         D/A
Like Casper the ghost
      A/G     D/F#     A/E  A/G
There’s no shade in the shadow of the cross
