[Verse 1]
Gm D7
To see the world through an empty shotglass
Gm D7
Shake order on the rocks of chaos
Cm D
Liberty as the ripest fruit
D# D
That if not eaten shall rot and bruise
Gm D7
See a saint succumb to sin
Gm D7
Bow down, return again
Cm D
To find rage in passion and fear in love
D# D
Poverty in wealth above
[Chorus]
Gm Cm
Give me life and all sweet pain
D7 Gm
The knives of truth, the hope in rain
Gm Cm
Savage beauty and the fiery plains
D7 Gm
Show me dawns never tamed
D# Cm D
To think we'd live on bread alone
D# Cm D
Betting on angels to carry us home
Gm D7 Gm D7 Cm D Cm D
I'll take some flesh and bone
[Verse 2]
Gm D7
Heard a priest condone the bombings
Gm D7
But heard a cop condemn the shootings
Cm D
Good flirts with bad and the scholars go mad
D# D
'Twas the strangest meal I've ever had
Gm D7
And you long for a steady journey
Gm D7
Stable country, simple morning
Cm D
But the evening of a ruthless knife
D# D
Brought the sweetest sunrise of your life
[Chorus]
Gm Cm
Give me life and all sweet pain
D7 Gm
The knives of truth, the hope in rain
Gm Cm
Savage beauty and the fiery plains
D7 Gm
Show me dawns never tamed
D# Cm D
To think we'd live on bread alone
D# Cm D
A'fearing devils, fire and stone
Gm
A'fearing flesh and bone

A'cursing devils, fire and stone

A'cursing flesh and bone

Flesh and bone
[Outro]

Away away

Away with purity

Away away!
