[Verse]
D Think I'm stranded but I don't know where Bb C D I got this diamond that don't know how to shine D In the sun where these dark winds wail Bb C D and these children leave their rulers behind Bb C D As we cross ten leagues from a Rubicon F G D with matchsticks for my bones Bb C F G If we can learn how to freeze ourselves alive Bb C D We could learn to leave these burdens to burn
[Chorus 1]
F C Cast out these creatures of woe G D Who shatter themselves F C G D Fighting a fire with your bare hands
[Verse]
D Now my journey takes me further south Bb C D I want to hear what the blind men sing D With their fossils and their gypsy bones Bb C D I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone Bb C D How can I make new again F G D What rusts every time it rains? Bb C F G And the rain, it comes and floods our lungs Bb C D We're just orphans in a tidal wave's wake
[Chorus 2]
Bm D If I wake up and see my maker coming Bm D With all of his crimson and his iron desire Bb D We'll drag the streets with the baggage of longing Am G F To be loved or destroyed, from a void C G D to a grain of sand in your hand
