[Verse]
F# G#m
It's what you see in men, does my rugged face cut scars like daggers
F# G#m
Faces on the wall, we can't touch you but you move our hobby
F# G#m
Reach into the hall, step around the feast and find the lobby
F# G#m
Open up the door, see an angel and you'll lose your body
F#
My body...
F#
Her angel...
F# G#m D#m
Picking out a name, stretching out on your sheets
C#m
Isabelle, Isabelle, can't you hear me I can't tell
F# G#m D#m
Is the devil in the room, is he hiding in the first drawer
C#m
Hold me dear, hold me dear, can't you feel me touch your ear
[Verse]
F# G#m
Meat was on the bone, but the children huddled and devoured
F# G#m
Keep them in the home, let their minds go where their bikes can't take them
F# G#m
Flinching finds me first, so I'll hide 'til she is in the basement
F# G#m
When I light the match, touching angels shadows on the ceiling
F#
My body...
F#
My angel...
F# G#m D#m
Racing 'round the room, your forehead is on fire
C#m
Isabelle, Isabelle they're all talking you're not well
F# G#m D#m
Looking like a ghost doctors shaking their heads
C#m
Say my name, say my name, can't you see that I'm to blame
F#
I'm to blame...
[Bridge]
E D#m
(There have been sadder days...)
E D#m
Sadder Days
B
Starting to rot in their mind, pretty angel
[Verse]
F# G#m
Grab the preachers throat, can't you see the light within the shutters
F# G#m
Who set up the ball, don't you see your dancing frees my chances
F# G#m
Put me on my feet, there's an angel with a hand thats open
F# G#m
Write my name in ink, send a letter to the ground and beg him
F#
My body...
F#
My angel...
F# G#m D#m
Folding all your clothes, changing all your bed sheets
C#m
Isabelle, Isabelle, you're not with me where I dwell
F# G#m D#m
Drinking from your glass, smash it on the pyre
C#m
It's a shame, it's a shame don't you see me, I'm to blame
F#
I'm to blame...
[Outro]
F#
Some people's lives awake to itsy-bitsy I'm-so-sorry's
The branch breaks, you crack a window and the wind might say...
E B G#m F#
"The birds are calling for you please don't follow..."
