[Verse 1]
Bm G
I've got a darkness so rich and so fine
D Bm G
Swallowed the world as if the world were mine
D A
Open the broken window and I'll leave
Bm G D A
A speck of blood for the birds and the bees
Bm G D A
A speck of blood for the birds and the bees
[Verse 2]
Bm G
Got one taste of sorrow and one taste of fear
D Bm G
Left them for you and now we're laying here
D A
Martyrs for honesty offering up
Bm G D A
A speck of blood for the birds and the bees
Bm G D A
A speck of blood for the birds and the bees
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
And on and on the road she goes
Bm G D A
Her secret even time don't know
Bm G D A
And time, time her paramour
Bm G A
He'll take his weight in gold
[Verse 3]
Bm G
Swing low the chariots I'm an Iscariot
D Bm G
Never so lonesome as I was today
D A
Give me a kiss a nonsensical wish
Bm G D A
A speck of blood for the birds and the bees
Bm G D A
A speck of blood for the birds and the bees
[Verse 4]
Bm G
And when I am knocking on gates I don't recognize
D Bm G
Clothed like an emperor wearing my secrets
D A
What kind of mercy is there for a thief?
Bm G D A
A speck of blood for the birds and the bees
Bm G D A
A speck of blood for the birds and the bees
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
And on and on the road she goes
Bm G D A
Her secret even time don't know
Bm G D A
And time, time her paramour
Bm G A
He'll take his weight in gold
