Murder And Crime chords by Sufjan Stevens

Bm Em F#m E7

Verse 1:
Bm                Em
Evidence known so long
   F#m                 E7
Oh god, I'm lost in my wrongs
Bm                    Em
Everything froze like stone
         F#m                      E7     G
Saw your heart couldn't take much more




Em              Bm            A
My boy, I don't know why this life
      G           D           F#m          G
Is so cruel and unkind but it weighs on my heart
Em              Bm            A
All joys were taken from your eyes
       G          D       F#m        G
As the law would abide in murder and crime
Em                Bm       A
Hard lines as the fossil defines
         G          D        F#m           G
It's own shadow in lime and reveals how it dies

Bm G F#m E7
Verse 2:

Bm                                   G
If anything goes, then everything's flawed
      F#m                         E7
Oh my love, what the violence has caused
Bm                        G
Malevolence flowed from beyond
       F#m                    E7     G
And my heart cannot take much more


 Verse 3:
Em          Bm           A
Oh joy I'm afraid of the light
       G           D           F#m      G
As the jewel of my mind begins to fall apart
Em                      Bm         A
Do not destroy what has taken it's time
       G           D       F#m        G
As the lord would abide in murder and crime



Em    F#m           Bm            A
Oh my love, I don't know why this life
      G           D           F#m          G
Is so cruel and unkind but it weighs on my heart
Em     D            Bm     A
Fading lines as the fossil denies
         G             D                      G
It's own shadow in the time to conceal how it died

Verse 4:

Bm                    Em
Evidence known, march on
   F#m                  E7
Oh god, I'm lost in the antiphon
Bm                                         Em
Where does everything go when everything's gone?
       F#m                     E7    G
For my heart cannot break much more
