Stakes chords by Vancouver Sleep Clinic

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard


C#m, A augmentedA (x2)

     C# minorC#m
From the lake
        A augmentedA
Where I lost it all
         C# minorC#m
Stacked on the stakes
           A augmentedA
Yet you blessed the fall

         C# minorC#m
I guess that I knew I was warned
      BB
I left my words in the cold
          A augmentedA
The things that I built for myself
       C# minorC#m
Castles are tumbling down
        BB
Surrender the heir, savour the crown
          A augmentedA
Here lies where I drown

   A(once)
The first time that I sought for grace
       B(once)
But not the last lung I'd put to waste

            C# minorC#m BB
I'm burning down the sta_____kes
    A augmentedA
Wash away, wash away
            C# minorC#m BB
I'm burning down the sta_____kes
    A augmentedA
Wash away, wash away

 C# minorC#m
Fumbling through this jaded book
   BB
The hearts I stole, the air I took
   A augmentedA
What love is this
       C#m(once)
And now the photograph is all that's left
  B(once)
To feed the wolves and empty chests
   A(once)
To break the best

   A(once)
The first time that I sought for grace
       B(once)
But not the last lung I'd put to waste

I'm burning down the stakes
Wash away, wash away
I'm burning down the stakes
Wash away, wash away
I'm burning down the stakes
Wash away, wash away
I'm burning down the stakes
Wash away, wash away


     A augmentedA
I never bled for a thousand lies
          BB
Just to stem the flow
     A augmentedA
I never wept over a thousand lives
         BB
Just to let this go

I never bled for a thousand lies
Just to stem the flow
I never wept over a thousand lives
Just to let this go

    A augmentedA     BB     A augmentedA     BB
Wash away, wash away, wash away, wash away...
