GmCm Close your eyes and you draw one more day to a close Dm You choose to be alone CmGm You float through your life as a ghost Gm And everything heals given time Cm And everything dies given time DmCmGm And the scars run together mixing the nerves with the blood CmGm And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down CmGm And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground Dm When your heart's deep and dark as a well CmGm And everything that's golden and green goes to hell
GmDmFCmDmCmGm
Gm And I was born to wind in the cradle Cm And I ride on the hot southern breeze GmCm and I twist in the green and the gold DmCmGm and you see and there is blood on my elbows and knees Gm And people want to grow old in the cradle Cm When there's snakes all around in the reeds DmCm And you ask me to fear of no evil DmCmGm When your fire's all over my feet CmGm And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down CmGm And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground Dm When your heart's deep and dark as a well CmGm And everything that's golden and green goes to hell
Gm I said bring out your Vivian girls Cm Bring out your cloud-covered girls DmCm and bring me a cup of your tears DmCmGm and give me the rest of your years Gm Because everything dies given time Cm And I know that this world could be mine DmCm So I closed both my eyes and I count my heartbeats DmCmGm and I know that my wings are on fire CmGm And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down CmGm And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground Dm When your heart's deep and dark as a well CmGm And everything that's golden and green goes to hell
