[Verse 1]
    AI caught sight of my refDlection
I caught it in the winAdow
I saw the darkness in my Dheart
    AI saw the signs of my undDoi-ing
    AThey had been there from the sDtart
    AAnd the darkness still has wDork to do
    AThe knotted chord's unDtyi-ing
They're Aheated and they're holy
Oh, they're Dsitting there on high
So seAcure with everything they're Dbuying
[Chorus 1]
In the blood of GEdenD  
Lie the wAoman and the mD/F#an
With the Gman in the wDoman
And the wAoman in the mD/F#an
In the blood of GEdenD  
Lie the wAoman and the D/F#man
We wanted the GunionD  
AOhhh, the Asus4union of the Awoman
The woman and the Dman
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
    AMy grip is surely sDlipping
I think I've lost my hAold
Yes, I think I've lost my hDold
    AI cannot get insDurance anymore
    AThey don't take credit, only Dgold
    AIs that a dagger or a crDucifix I see
    AYou hold so tightly in your hDand
    AAnd all the while the distance gDrows between you and me
    AI do not undDerstand
[Chorus 2]
In the blood of GEdenD  
Lie the wAoman and the mD/F#an
With the Gman in the wDoman
And the wAoman in the mD/F#an
In the blood of GEdenD  
Lie the wAoman and the D/F#man
We wanted the GunionD  
AOhhh, the Asus4union of the Awoman
The woman and the Bmman
[Bridge]
At my request,   Ayou take me inBm  
In that tenderness,    AI am floating aBmway
No certainty,   Anothing to rely onBm  
Holding stillA  
For a moooBm-ooment
What a mEoment this is
Oh, for a Bmmoment of forgetting
A EmoEsus4ment of E2bliss
DHeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Aeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[Interlude]
D   A   D
[Verse 3]
   AI can hear the distant tDhunder
Of a million unheard sAouls
Of a million unheard sDouls
   AWatch each one reach for creature cDomfo-ort
   AFor the filling of their Dholes
[Chorus 3]
In the blood of EGdenD  
Lie the wAoman and the D/F#man
With the Gman in the wDoman
And the wAoman in the mD/F#an
In the blood of GEdenD  
Lie the wAoman and the mD/F#an
We wanted the GunionD  
Of the wAoman and the mD/F#an
In the blood of EGdenD  
Lie the wAoman and the D/F#man
I feel the Gman in the wDoman
