[Verse 1]
Bm A
Down a spiral stairway
D G
Like a blackout memory
Bm A
You prop up your work
D G
Like a figure of straw
Bm A D G
Keeping your ghosts from the garden
Bm A D G
But is it red ripe or deadened skin?
Bm A D G
Spiraling further in
Bm A D G
Spiraling further in
[Chorus]
G Bm
Burn a candle to my skin
A G
Turn the handle, let me in
Bm A G
I can not be your guardian anymore
Bm
Burn a candle to my skin
A G
Turn the handle, let me in
Bm A G
I can not be your medicine anymore, anymore
[Play intro riff twice]
Bm A D G (x2)
[Verse 2]
Bm A
I am a moment in time
D G
When your eyes start to wander
Bm A
And your head starts to spin
D G
From the simplest task
Bm A D G
Deciding what you will wear
Bm A D G
Finding faults in a straight line
Bm A D G
I have to remember to stop
Bm A D G
Wringing out the same cloth
[Chorus]
G Bm
Burn a candle to my skin
A G
Turn the handle, let me in
Bm A G
I can not be your guardian anymore
Bm
Burn a candle to my skin
A G
Turn the handle, let me in
Bm A G
I can not be your medicine anymore, anymore
