Holly Branches - Radical Face
by batucaca,      Capo, 1. Bund
Intro, Em, G, D, A 
When you were Emyoung
You'd bite your Gtongue
DCalm, always did what you were Atold
Never ran your Emmouth
Lived life on Gtiptoes
DOnly felt peace if by Ayourself
When mistakes don't Ccount
There's a Emhole in your cDhest
From the time that you were Cborn
One that don't get Cfilled
                     Em                         D    /Dsus4/D/Dsus4
'cause you've always known you're nothin' they want
Refrain:
But everybody's Embones are just Aholy Cbranches
Cast from Dtrees to cut patterns into the Emworld
And in Atime we find some Cshelter
Spill our Dleaves and then sleep in the CEarth
And when we're Cthere we'll belong
'cause the DEarth don't give a damn if you're Emlost
Em, G, D, A    x2 
ooo..ooo..ooo
EmNow I live Galone
DWorking the belly of Amachines
Wring my soot-black Emhands
And I don't sleep Gmuch
DDays don't feel different
From the Anights
With no goals in Cmind
There's a Emhole in my cDhest
From the time I walked Caway
One I fill with Csweat
         Em                     D   /Dsus4/D/Dsus4
So now I know I'm nothin' they want
Refrain:
But everybody's Embones are just Aholy bCranches
Ride the bDreeze to cut patterns in the leEmaves
And in Atime we find some Cshelter
Spill our Dseeds and then wait for our tCurns
But for Emnow we're adrDift on the waves of Cdiscontent
Trying to carve our Cplace
All in Emhopes we'll be something they Dwant
But I'm not holding my Embreath
Em, G, D, Am    x2 
ooo..ooo..ooo
ATrace your Cfingers down my Aspine
AMake your Chome behind my Aeyes
ALine my Cskull with harmless Alies
I'll bide my Ctime until I'm Dsomething they Emwant

Holly Branches - Radical Face

by batucaca, Capo, 1. Bund

Intro, Em, G, D, A

When you were young

You'd bite your tongue

D A

Calm, always did what you were told

Never ran your mouth

Lived life on tiptoes

D A

Only felt peace if by yourself

When mistakes don't count

Em D

There's a hole in your chest

From the time that you were born

One that don't get filled

Em D /Dsus4/D/Dsus4

'cause you've always known you're nothin' they want

Refrain:

Em A C

But everybody's bones are just holy branches

D Em

Cast from trees to cut patterns into the world

A C

And in time we find some shelter

D C

Spill our leaves and then sleep in the Earth

And when we're there we'll belong

D Em

'cause the Earth don't give a damn if you're lost

Em, G, D, A x2

ooo..ooo..ooo

Em G

Now I live alone

D A

Working the belly of machines

Wring my soot-black hands

And I don't sleep much

Days don't feel different

From the nights

With no goals in mind

Em D

There's a hole in my chest

From the time I walked away

One I fill with sweat

Em D /Dsus4/D/Dsus4

So now I know I'm nothin' they want

Refrain:

Em A C

But everybody's bones are just holy branches

D Em

Ride the breeze to cut patterns in the leaves

A C

And in time we find some shelter

D C

Spill our seeds and then wait for our turns

Em D C

But for now we're adrift on the waves of discontent

Trying to carve our place

Em D

All in hopes we'll be something they want

But I'm not holding my breath

Em, G, D, Am x2

ooo..ooo..ooo

A C A

Trace your fingers down my spine

A C A

Make your home behind my eyes

A C A

Line my skull with harmless lies

C D Em

I'll bide my time until I'm something they want
