Em G C
As thEme bell tower Gblocks the Csummer light
EmAll the sGeeds in our gCarden fight
To bEmreak Dand bClossom, all to Bbe adored
And look, your skCirt is torn
And there's blDood on our sheets
As comes the Emlong aGrm oCf the law
EmFist tGight, baCnging on the door
And kEmnockDing mCe down on its wBay inC  D  
As I pass out into a dream
Of whooping cranes and wooden beams
Great white wings beating
In an attic, in a house, in the dead of night
Singing
COh, Dmy EmAuguDstiCne, EmAugDustiCne
COhD, is this fEmoreDveCr, EmeveDr?C  
COh, Doh
Sweet EmAugDustCine, EmAugDustCine
What dCoes this mDean for us?
Does it mean that I can never change my ways?
And that's why, love, you shouldn't stay
Still you will and love me
Like a mother or a maid bringing you down, down
Down on your brazen knees
Watering the worms and the weeds
Thinking, why does love leave me so damn cold?
Now I'm getting old
And is this what it should be?
Well, is it?
Oh, my Augustine, Augustine.
Oh, is this forever, ever?
Oh, oh
Sweet Augustine, Augustine
Or Cdo we kill thDis one tonGight?C  
G  C
And now come the EmteaGrs, hCeavy and hot
EmAs it comes cGlear, this is aCll we got
As I hEmold yDou tCo my bed
Like a caBncer, or a cCurse
Now be my loDving nurse
As we fall back iEmnto tDhe impCossible drEmeam

Em G C

As the bell tower blocks the summer light

Em G C

All the seeds in our garden fight

Em D C B

To break and blossom, all to be adored

And look, your skirt is torn

And there's blood on our sheets

Em G C

As comes the long arm of the law

Em G C

Fist tight, banging on the door

Em D C B C D

And knocking me down on its way in

As I pass out into a dream

Of whooping cranes and wooden beams

Great white wings beating

In an attic, in a house, in the dead of night

Singing

C D Em D C Em D C

Oh, my Augustine, Augustine

C D Em D C Em D C

Oh, is this forever, ever?

C D

Oh, oh

Em D C Em D C

Sweet Augustine, Augustine

C D

What does this mean for us?

Does it mean that I can never change my ways?

And that's why, love, you shouldn't stay

Still you will and love me

Like a mother or a maid bringing you down, down

Down on your brazen knees

Watering the worms and the weeds

Thinking, why does love leave me so damn cold?

Now I'm getting old

And is this what it should be?

Well, is it?

Oh, my Augustine, Augustine.

Oh, is this forever, ever?

Oh, oh

Sweet Augustine, Augustine

C D G C

Or do we kill this one tonight?

G C

Em G C

And now come the tears, heavy and hot

Em G C

As it comes clear, this is all we got

Em D C

As I hold you to my bed

B C

Like a cancer, or a curse

Now be my loving nurse

Em D C Em

As we fall back into the impossible dream
