"Drought"
EmSummer move forward and stitch me the fabric of fallC  
GWrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us allD  
AmHow sweet is the day
EmI'm craving a darkness
CAs I sit tucked away with my back to the walGl
AmAnd the taste of dried-up hopes in Emmy mouth
CAnd the landscape of merry and desperate droughtG  
DmHow much longer dear angels
EmLet winterlight come
AmAnd spread your white sheets over my empty ChouseG  
EmSummer move forward and leave your heat anchored in dustC  
GForgotten him, cheated him, painted illusions of lustD  
AmNow language escape, fugitive of Emforgiveness
CLeaving as trace only circles of ruGst
AmAnd the taste of dried-up hopes in mEmy mouth
CAnd the landscape of merry and desperate droughtG  
AmHow much longer dear angels
EmCome break me with ice
AmLet the water of calm trickle Cover my doubtsG  
AmCome let me drownG  
EmAngels no fiCre no salt Gon the plowD  
EmCarry me downAm  
EmBury me downD  
AmAnd the taste of dried-up hopes in my mEmouth
CAnd the landscape of merry and desperate droughtG  
DmOnce I knew myself
EmAnd with knowing came love
CI would know love again if I had faith enoughD  G  
EmToo far is next spring and her jubilant shouAmtBm

"Drought"

Em C

Summer move forward and stitch me the fabric of fall

G D

Wrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us all

How sweet is the day

I'm craving a darkness

C G

As I sit tucked away with my back to the wall

Am Em

And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth

C G

And the landscape of merry and desperate drought

How much longer dear angels

Let winterlight come

Am C G

And spread your white sheets over my empty house

Em C

Summer move forward and leave your heat anchored in dust

G D

Forgotten him, cheated him, painted illusions of lust

Am Em

Now language escape, fugitive of forgiveness

C G

Leaving as trace only circles of rust

Am Em

And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth

C G

And the landscape of merry and desperate drought

How much longer dear angels

Come break me with ice

Am C G

Let the water of calm trickle over my doubts

Am G

Come let me drown

Em C G D

Angels no fire no salt on the plow

Em Am

Carry me down

Em D

Bury me down

Am Em

And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth

C G

And the landscape of merry and desperate drought

Once I knew myself

And with knowing came love

C D G

I would know love again if I had faith enough

Em Am Bm

Too far is next spring and her jubilant shout

D Dm D

So angels, inside Is the only way out
