(single note: C#, C#, C#, C#)
I was C#wasted on the G#trigger
in the A#mriver, I was F#waiting
I was C#wanting, never G#wanting
what I A#mcould not yet beF#come
Let the C#sea change, let's reG#member
all the A#mgood I did the F#ending
was no C#more than spare reG#pentance
This is A#mnothing like my F#home
On the C#table, I was G#ready
Blood it A#mglistened, gods they F#listened
Running C#wild after G#chalice
just to A#mlet them take me F#on
See the C#whirling of the sG#kylights
Beasts surrA#mound me, all aroF#und me
Trains pull C#out from under G#mantles
just to A#mlisten with us F#all
And with A#mcolours captiG#vating
EleanF#or stood cold and waiting
She was A#mbathing me in bG#lessings
that confF#ronted as I cried
See the A#mwhole of me igG#niting
Clever F#hands with brushes biting
Cross the A#mriver to the toG#wers
with reF#mains of every sacrifice inside
Oh my C#precious demon G#darlings
come to A#mhold me, death unfF#old me
Colour C#move me to the G#chambers
where I A#mknow I'll feel alF#ive
Dance in C#circles, atop G#grasses
Crossing A#mover, lo beF#hold her
in the C#places of our G#reaches
where the A#mbeasts upset their F#lives
But the C#water ceased to G#bargain
We are A#mstranded where we've F#landed
Break the C#cycle, take us G#back
to where we A#mfeel we need to F#be
Watching C#careful, the comG#pletion
of the A#mcosmos, where the zF#ygote
Sleeping C#sound now that I've G#found
my dearest A#mfriend outside my F#door
Bound for A#mnew life, masons thuG#nder
East is F#over, West is under
Found the A#mhum of drag race runG#ners
Comfort F#flaring in my sheets
Now we'll A#mhead back up to MG#onmouth
where the F#kids are seldom honest
Cross the A#mborders, past the G#trainyards
I will F#enter just to breathe
But the A#mtime will come for lG#overs
We will F#cradle one another
We will A#mwander past the diG#stance
from our F#merry mouths to F#meet
A#m, G#, C#, (single note: C, C#)

A#m

(single note: C#, C#, C#, C#)

C# G#

I was wasted on the trigger

A#m F#

in the river, I was waiting

C# G#

I was wanting, never wanting

A#m F#

what I could not yet become

C# G#

Let the sea change, let's remember

A#m F#

all the good I did the ending

C# G#

was no more than spare repentance

A#m F#

This is nothing like my home

C# G#

On the table, I was ready

A#m F#

Blood it glistened, gods they listened

C# G#

Running wild after chalice

A#m F#

just to let them take me on

C# G#

See the whirling of the skylights

A#m F#

Beasts surround me, all around me

C# G#

Trains pull out from under mantles

A#m F#

just to listen with us all

A#m G#

And with colours captivating

Eleanor stood cold and waiting

A#m G#

She was bathing me in blessings

that confronted as I cried

A#m G#

See the whole of me igniting

Clever hands with brushes biting

A#m G#

Cross the river to the towers

with remains of every sacrifice inside

C# G#

Oh my precious demon darlings

A#m F#

come to hold me, death unfold me

C# G#

Colour move me to the chambers

A#m F#

where I know I'll feel alive

C# G#

Dance in circles, atop grasses

A#m F#

Crossing over, lo behold her

C# G#

in the places of our reaches

A#m F#

where the beasts upset their lives

C# G#

But the water ceased to bargain

A#m F#

We are stranded where we've landed

C# G#

Break the cycle, take us back

A#m F#

to where we feel we need to be

C# G#

Watching careful, the completion

A#m F#

of the cosmos, where the zygote

C# G#

Sleeping sound now that I've found

A#m F#

my dearest friend outside my door

A#m G#

Bound for new life, masons thunder

East is over, West is under

A#m G#

Found the hum of drag race runners

Comfort flaring in my sheets

A#m G#

Now we'll head back up to Monmouth

where the kids are seldom honest

A#m G#

Cross the borders, past the trainyards

I will enter just to breathe

A#m G#

But the time will come for lovers

We will cradle one another

A#m G#

We will wander past the distance

F# F#

from our merry mouths to meet

A#m, G#, C#, (single note: C, C#)
