Bm A
Howʼs one to know?
G Em Bm
Iʼd meet you where the spirit meets the bones
G D A
In a faith forgotten land
Bm A
In from the snow
G Em Bm
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
G D A
Tarnished but so grand
Pre-Chorus: Bm A G
And the old widow goes to the stone every day
Em Bm
But I donʼt, I just sit here and wait
G A
Grieving for the living
Chorus: D Bm
Oh, goddamn
A G D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Bm A
Taking mine, but itʼs been promised to another
D Bm
Oh, I canʼt
A G D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Bm A
My house of stone, your ivy grows
Bm A G Em Bm G A
And now Iʼm covered in you
Bm A
I wish to know
G Em Bm
The fatal flaw that makes you long to be
G D A
Magnificently cursed
Bm A
Heʼs in the room
G Em Bm
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
G D A
He wants whatʼs only yours
Chorus: D Bm
Oh, goddamn
A G D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Bm A
Taking mine, but itʼs been promised to another
D Bm
Oh, I canʼt
A G D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Bm A
My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now Iʼm covered
Bridge:Em Bm
Clover blooms in the fields
G A Bm
Spring breaks loose, the time is near
A D
What would he do if he found us out?
Em Bm
Crescent moon, coast is clear
G A Bm
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear
A D
Heʼs gonna burn this house to the ground
Bm A
Howʼs one to know?
G Em Bm
Iʼd live and die for moments that we stole
G D A
On begged and borrowed time
Bm A
So tell me to run
G Em Bm
Or dare to sit and watch what weʼll become
G D A
And drink my husbandʼs wine
Chorus: D Bm
Oh, goddamn
A G D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Bm A
Taking mine, but itʼs been promised to another
D Bm
Oh, I canʼt
A G D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Bm A
My house of stone, your ivy grows
D Bm A
And now Iʼm covered in you
G D Bm A
And Iʼm covered in you
Bridge: Bm
So yeah, itʼs a fire
G A
Itʼs a goddamn blaze in the dark
D
And you started it
G A
You started it
Bm
So yeah, itʼs a war
G A
Itʼs the goddamn fight of my life
D
And you started it
G A
You started it
Chorus: D Bm
Oh, I canʼt
A G D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Bm A
My house of stone, your ivy grows
D Bm A G
And now Iʼm covered in you
D Bm A G D Bm A
In you
G D Bm A G
Now Iʼm covered in you
D Bm A G D Bm A G D
In you
