[Verse 1]
C
We married him on fire
G
Like the nuns who married God
Em
Then we jumped out of the airplane
Am
And trusted we would fall
C
Then we traveled through the mountains
Dm
With our bodies weighed down
F
By the perfect lovely vision
G Gsus4 G
In the absence of all sound
[Verse 2]
D C
And though he was a faithful tailor
G
Our deeds we must confess
Em
We loved so many others
Am
Despite our wedding dress
C
So when the lace snagged on the fender
G
Of the car he left to drive
F
When we took it on a bender, when we
G Gsus4 G
Took it for a ride
[Interlude]
Am G
[Verse 3]
C
We wound up thirsty in this jail cell
G
But we heard he's headed here
Em G
To excavate this holy well and
Am
Pour it crystal clear
C
And we filled our cup with silence
Dm
And the words who keep in time
F
With the song that he will sing us
G Gsus4 G
As forgiveness for our crime
[Interlude]
A C D C Dm A C Dm C G D
Hmmmmmmm... Hmmmmmmm...
[Verse 4]
G C
Well, love, it's true you're golden-throated
G
And your history is long
Em
And you've had so many lovely creatures
Am
Occupy your songs
C
So may we take you to the altar
Dm
We'll feed you bread and wine
F
And be swimming in the fountain with you
G Gsus4 G
'Til the end of time
[Outro]
Am C G C
Hmmmm...
Am C G
Hmmm...
Am Em C
Hmmm...
