EI had a vision C#min the chapel
EFlame flickered on your G#mforehead like an apple
F#When the morning came I was G#menthralled by your Bmovement
C#mBut I was scared, I F#wrote a letter
C#mTo articulate my G#mthoughts a little better
F#When the time came for speaking my mind it was Bgone
The garden's overEgrown
Is the Bfact of the matter
And now it's just a Efield behind the house
Where the Bcreepers kinda swallow the light
Where you C#mwait for a talking Esnake
For a calendar Bday - something you can rely on
You can G#msteady the scale
With my Bheart in a pail if I'm F#wrong
EWhen I was young and not a C#mcynic
EI felt a gravity G#mbeyond the city limit 
F#In the violent heart I couldn't G#mstart to exBplain it
C#mBut all my lovers F#turned to friends
C#mand I'm in London singing "G#mif it be your will" again
F#When the time came for speaking my mind it was gBone
The garden's overEgrown
Is the Bfact of the matter
And now it's just a Efield behind the house
Where the Bcreepers kinda swallow the light
Where you C#mwait for a talking Esnake
For a calendar Bday - something you can rely on
You can G#msteady the scale
With my Bheart in a pail if I'm F#wrong
C#mI miss my childhood G#mhouse
Where my heart slowed Edown
I could take cBontrol of mG#myself there
ESince our C#mchildhood G#mhomes
Are aEpartments C#mthough
I've been G#mfinding BI don't feG#mel it the same way F#now
The garden's overEgrown
Is the Bfact of the matter
And now it's just a Efield behind the house
Where the Bcreepers kinda swallow the light
Where you C#mwait for a talking Esnake
For a calendar Bday - something you can rely on
You can G#msteady the scale
With my Bheart in a pail if I'm F#wrong
You can G#msteady the scale
With my Bheart in a pail if I'm F#wrong
G#mSteady the scale
With my Bheart in a pail if I'm F#wrong

C#m

G#m

E C#m

I had a vision in the chapel

E G#m

Flame flickered on your forehead like an apple

F# G#m B

When the morning came I was enthralled by your movement

C#m F#

But I was scared, I wrote a letter

C#m G#m

To articulate my thoughts a little better

F# B

When the time came for speaking my mind it was gone

The garden's overgrown

Is the fact of the matter

And now it's just a field behind the house

Where the creepers kinda swallow the light

C#m E

Where you wait for a talking snake

For a calendar day - something you can rely on

G#m

You can steady the scale

B F#

With my heart in a pail if I'm wrong

E C#m

When I was young and not a cynic

E G#m

I felt a gravity beyond the city limit

F# G#m B

In the violent heart I couldn't start to explain it

C#m F#

But all my lovers turned to friends

C#m G#m

and I'm in London singing "if it be your will" again

F# B

When the time came for speaking my mind it was gone

The garden's overgrown

Is the fact of the matter

And now it's just a field behind the house

Where the creepers kinda swallow the light

C#m E

Where you wait for a talking snake

For a calendar day - something you can rely on

G#m

You can steady the scale

B F#

With my heart in a pail if I'm wrong

C#m G#m

I miss my childhood house

Where my heart slowed down

B G#m

I could take control of myself there

E C#m G#m

Since our childhood homes

E C#m

Are apartments though

G#m B G#m F#

I've been finding I don't feel it the same way now

The garden's overgrown

Is the fact of the matter

And now it's just a field behind the house

Where the creepers kinda swallow the light

C#m E

Where you wait for a talking snake

For a calendar day - something you can rely on

G#m

You can steady the scale

B F#

With my heart in a pail if I'm wrong

G#m

You can steady the scale

B F#

With my heart in a pail if I'm wrong

G#m

Steady the scale

B F#

With my heart in a pail if I'm wrong
