Am Gsus4
How's one to know?

I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones

In from the snow

Tarnished but so grand

And the old widow goes to the stone every day

Grieving for the living

C Am
Oh, goddamn
Gsus4 Fsus2 C
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Am Gsus4
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
C Am
Oh, I can't
Gsus4 Fsus2 C
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Am Gsus4
My house of stone, your ivy grows

And now I'm covered in you

I wish to know

The fatal flaw that makes you long to be

Clover blooms in the fields
Fsus2 Gsus4 Am
Spring breaks loose, the time is near
C/B C
What would he do if he found us out?
Dm7 Em
Crescent moon, coast is clear
Fsus2 Gsus4 Am
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear
C/B C
He's gonna burn this house to the ground
Am Gsus4
How's one to know?
Fsus2 Dm7 Am
I'd live and die for moments that we stole
Fsus2 C Gsus4
On begged and borrowed time
Am Gsus4
So tell me to run
Fsus2 Dm7 Am
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become
Fsus2 C Gsus4
And drink my husband's wine

Oh, goddamn

And you started it

You started it
