[Intro]
E  B  C#m  A
[Verse 1]
ELooting the destBroyed
Vessels of the C#msea
I wondered if the Awaves
Had taken all of Eme
All of me Bback
Down to the C#mblack
Down to where the woArms reign silent and green
ESilentB  C#m  A  
[Chorus]
EWe can do some Bwrecking here
'Til a little C#mcolor
Comes into your Aface
EWe can do some Bwrecking here
And C#mfind something to love
In this Abroken place
This broken Bplace
[Verse 2]
EAnd the king Bis a C#mhand
And slaps you like a Awave
And Eshackles Byou C#mdown
Bound like an anchored Bchain in the sand
Sends your ships to the C#mrocks
Sends the keys to the lock of the Achain
AOn your heart
To the mouth of a serpent
And his Escaly Bglass C#mshards
He's Bholding all the cards
And Bwaiting in the waves
With the C#mpoker face
And no C#mtrail to trace
No Btrail to Atrace
[Chorus]
EWe can do some Bwrecking here
'Til a little C#mcolor
Comes into your Aface
EWe can do some Bwrecking here
And C#mfind something to love
In this Abroken place
This broken Bplace

C#m

[Intro]

E B C#m A

[Verse 1]

E B

Looting the destroyed

C#m

Vessels of the sea

I wondered if the waves

Had taken all of me

All of me back

C#m

Down to the black

Down to where the worms reign silent and green

E B C#m A

Silent

[Chorus]

E B

We can do some wrecking here

C#m

'Til a little color

Comes into your face

E B

We can do some wrecking here

C#m

And find something to love

In this broken place

This broken place

[Verse 2]

E B C#m

And the king is a hand

And slaps you like a wave

E B C#m

And shackles you down

Bound like an anchored chain in the sand

C#m

Sends your ships to the rocks

Sends the keys to the lock of the chain

On your heart

To the mouth of a serpent

E B C#m

And his scaly glass shards

He's holding all the cards

And waiting in the waves

C#m

With the poker face

C#m

And no trail to trace

B A

No trail to trace

[Chorus]

E B

We can do some wrecking here

C#m

'Til a little color

Comes into your face

E B

We can do some wrecking here

C#m

And find something to love

In this broken place

This broken place
