Cm G# G F# F
The embers of the saint inside of you
Cm G# G F# F
Are growing as I'm bathing in your glow
Cm G# G F# F
I'm swallowing the poison of your flower
Cm G# G F# F
And hanging on the rising of my low
B A# B
Colorful and falling from your mouth
A# B
Like a painted fever in recoil
D#m
Like a lie without the pain
D D#m
On a pillow of your bones
D F#
I will lay across the stones
Bm A#
Of your shore until the tide comes crawling
D#m D D#m
Throw my pillow on the fire
D F#
Make my bed under the eye
Bm A# Cm
(intro riff)
Of your moon until the tide comes crawling back
Cm G# G F# F
A waning hand on silver granite waves
Cm G# G F# F
Will mend my broken limbs and bend my haze
Cm G# G F# F
I'm sleeping in the silence of your voice
Cm G# G F# F
I'm cradling the peril of my only choice
B A# B
Colorful and falling from your mouth
A# B
Like a painted fever in recoil
D#m
Like a lie without the pain
D D#m
On a pillow of your bones
D F#
I will lay across the stones
Bm A#
Of your shore until the tide comes crawling
D#m D D#m
Throw my pillow on the fire
D F#
Make my bed under the eye
Bm A# Cm
Of your moon until the tide comes crawling back
B A# D#m Dm C#m B
Even though the truth can burn inside or fall behind
A# D#m Dm
I will wander through your open mind
C#m B A# D#m
And you will find no lie can hide
D D#m D F# Bm
Yeah...
A# D#m
Until the tide comes crawling
D D#m
On a pillow of your bones
D F#
I will lay across the stones
Bm A#
Of your shore until the tide comes crawling
D#m D D#m
Throw my pillow on the fire
D F#
Make my bed under the eye
Bm A#
Of your moon until the tide comes crawling
D D#m
On a pillow of your bones
D F#
I will lay across the stones
Bm A# Cm
Of your shore until the tide comes crawling back
