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
