Capo 2 
Intro: Em,  A  
DmCrucify the Gblinding sky for Clight
Love's Flover is like a Clightning Grod
DmHowling wind has Gbeen heard in my Chead
Dead Fdreamers in a Cburning Gcar
Your Fmind is a Cdiamond Amblue and Ggreen
Shining Fout through your Ceyes like Amfalling Gleaves
When you Fopen your Cmouth a Amswarm of Gbees will Bbappear
EbMy dear sDmteer clear, haC#ve no feaBr
For you Dknow just Gwhat they call you Chere
You're the Claughing lover Emcovered in Gtears
DmSteal away the Gsun, the moon and Cstars
Start Fsimple with a Cwoman's Gvoice
DmWisdom lingers Gon the fingers Cof the Ffortress
Like a Clazy Gghost
Your Fmind is a Cdragon of Amdying Gbird
Like to Fcircle the Cflames singing Amwords Gunheard
When you're Fdeath like a Cthread pulls you Amin and your Glover Bbappears
EbMy dear sDmteer clear, haC#ve no feaBr
For you Dknow just Gwhat they call you Chere
You're the Claughing lover Emcovered in Gtears
(Same as Before) 
Sanctify the blinding sky for light weaves wonders out of bits of clay
Howling wind has been heard in my head breaking bread, but in a gentle way
Your mind is a diamond blue and green
Shining out through your eyes like falling leaves
When you open your mouth a swarm of bees will appear
EbMy dear sDmteer clear, haC#ve no feaBr
For you Dknow just Gwhat they call you Chere
You're the Claughing lover Emcovered in Gtears
