D6  D6  D6  D6
D6  D6  D6  D6
[Verse 1]
D6Eyeless in the morning sun you were
D6Pale and mild, a modern girl
D6Taken with thought, still prone to care
D6Making tea in your underwear
You went A7out in the yard to find 
A7Something to eat and clear your mind 
A7Something bad inside me went D6away
[Verse 2]
D6Quaking leaves and broken light 
D6Shifting skin the coming night 
D6The bearers of all good things arrive 
D6Climb inside us, twist and cry 
A A7kiss on your molten eyes 
A7Myriad lives like blades of grass 
A7Yet to be realized, bow as they D6pass
[Chorus]
They are D6cold, 
D6Still, 
D6Waiting in the ether, 
To Em7form, 
Em7Feel,
Em7Kill, 
Em7Propagate, 
Em7Only to D6die

[Intro]

D6 D6 D6 D6

[Verse 1]

Eyeless in the morning sun you were

Pale and mild, a modern girl

Taken with thought, still prone to care

Making tea in your underwear

You went out in the yard to find

Something to eat and clear your mind

A7 D6

Something bad inside me went away

[Verse 2]

Quaking leaves and broken light

Shifting skin the coming night

The bearers of all good things arrive

Climb inside us, twist and cry

A kiss on your molten eyes

Myriad lives like blades of grass

A7 D6

Yet to be realized, bow as they pass

[Chorus]

They are cold,

Still,

Waiting in the ether,

Em7

To form,

Em7

Feel,

Em7

Kill,

Em7

Propagate,

Em7 D6

Only to die

[Solo]

D6 D6 D6 D6

A7 A7 A7 A7

D6 D6 D6 D6

[Chorus]

They are cold,

Still,

Waiting in the ether,

Em7

To form,

Em7

Feel,

Em7

Kill,

Em7

Propagate,

Em7 D6

Only to die

Dissolve

Magically,

Absurdly,

Em7

They'll end,

Em7

Leave,

Em7

Dissipate,

Em7

Coldly

Em7

And strangely

Return
