[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
It's probably now that I need you the most
D
When I'm one half child and the other ghost
D Cadd9
And one of 'em wants to pull you close and the other to let you go
Cadd9
Time's criminal love heart won
G
And love defies everyone
D Cadd9 G
Inside my skin, a skeleton is warming up his act
[Verse 2]
G
Though my body's my dog and my friend doesn't bite
D
Though he looks severe and erudite
D Cadd9
A hundred degrees Fahrenheit he's as cool as an ermine
Cadd9 G
If one of these is the poison cup and my acceptance seems abrupt
D Cadd9 G
But if you're gonna line 'em up, well I have to knock 'em down
[Instrumental]
G D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G
[Verse 3]
G
Well there's nothing so wrong that what's right can't fix
D D Cadd9
Despite how blood and water mix and when a pony runs out of tricks and his work has just begun
Cadd9
Now lord, duty bade me fight
G D
Just a lonely impulse of delight and balancing had brought to mind
D
The years to come, the years behind
D D Cadd9 G
Will I grow weary of the sun, remembering what I have done with old mythologies?
[Chorus 1]
G D
You gotta choose
C G C G Am7
You wanted the song to rescue us
Amadd9 Am C G D
A - my, what did you leave for us?
G
So we could get home
[Instrumental]
G D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G
[Verse 4]
G D
Solomon sang Sheba's grace and he kissed her soft and sulking face
D Cadd9
If one of us has to leave this place, will the other come along?
Cadd9
We been on the round and round
G D
Shared our kisses by the pound and chased our shadows on the ground
D
Spilled our cups in China town
D
Put up the moon, took down the sun
D
Played our songs for everyone
D Cadd9 G
Remembering what we had done with old mythologies
[Chorus 2]
G D
You gotta choose
C G C G Am7
You wanted the song to rescue us
