[Verse 1]
Oh buried Eeyes
I know it's A(add2)hard to take a drive
Upon the Eruins of your land
Upon the Esusquickness of the sand
Rain gettin G#m6heavy, mud gettin B(add4)dry
I have Eseen the seven miles
Banned the A(add2)visions from your head
Dry your Etears upon the ocean
Where the Esusrain begins again
Broken and G#m6battered, left for the B(add4)wild
[Chorus]
Buried cEhild,A(add2)  
Buried cEhildA(add2)  Am  D/F#  Am  D/F#  
[Verse 2]
And I have seen the Eancient man
That has knocked uA(add2)pon your door
Cloaked with Epaint upon his fingers
As he Esuspoints you to the floor
Seeking G#m6shelter, to his B(add4)lives
[Verse 3]
You careless dEancers
Burnt on the A(add2)phone
Faded Efootsteps in empty A(add2)rooms
The babe is G#m6captured
But from mothers B(add4)eyes
The feast was G#m6raided
Beaten down to B(add4)size
On your G#m6knees
Grab the G#m6torch and die
[Chorus]
Buried cEhild,A(add2)  
Buried cEhildA(add2)  Am  D/F#  Am  D/F#  
[Verse 4]
And every moment in the Eleaves
Seems to A(add2)vanish all the tribes
In this Efleeting resurrection
When the A(add2)fire leaves your eyes
Sirens G#m6fading, breading B(add4)heavy oh Lord
Captured G#m6angles, colors B(add4)faded to the bone
Fire and G#m6water, the Seagul B(add4)flies!

[Verse 1]

Oh buried eyes

A(add2)

I know it's hard to take a drive

Upon the ruins of your land

Esus

Upon the quickness of the sand

G#m6 B(add4)

Rain gettin heavy, mud gettin dry

I have seen the seven miles

A(add2)

Banned the visions from your head

Dry your tears upon the ocean

Esus

Where the rain begins again

G#m6 B(add4)

Broken and battered, left for the wild

[Chorus]

E A(add2)

Buried child,

E A(add2) Am D/F# Am D/F#

Buried child

[Verse 2]

And I have seen the ancient man

A(add2)

That has knocked upon your door

Cloaked with paint upon his fingers

Esus

As he points you to the floor

G#m6 B(add4)

Seeking shelter, to his lives

[Verse 3]

You careless dancers

A(add2)

Burnt on the phone

E A(add2)

Faded footsteps in empty rooms

G#m6

The babe is captured

B(add4)

But from mothers eyes

G#m6

The feast was raided

B(add4)

Beaten down to size

G#m6

On your knees

G#m6

Grab the torch and die

[Chorus]

E A(add2)

Buried child,

E A(add2) Am D/F# Am D/F#

Buried child

[Verse 4]

And every moment in the leaves

A(add2)

Seems to vanish all the tribes

In this fleeting resurrection

A(add2)

When the fire leaves your eyes

G#m6 B(add4)

Sirens fading, breading heavy oh Lord

G#m6 B(add4)

Captured angles, colors faded to the bone

G#m6 B(add4)

Fire and water, the Seagul flies!

[Instrumental]
