Chords
This is the first song on "Modern Guilt".
D (Verse 1): I 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 Bb C D with matchsticks for my bones Bb C F G If we can learn how to freeze ourselves alive Bb C D We can learn to leave these burdens to burn F C (Break): Cast out these creatures of woe G D Who shatter themselves F C G D Fighting a fire with your bare hands
(Verse 2, same chords as Verse 1):
Now my journey takes me further south
I wanna hear what the blind men sing
With their fossils and their gypsy bones
I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone
And how can I make new again
What rusts every time it rains
And the rain it comes, and floods our lungs
We're just orphans in a title wave's wake
Bm D (End): If I wake up and see my maker comin' Bm D With all of his crimson and his iron desire Bb D We'll drag the streets with the baggage of longing C G F To be loved or destroyed, from a void C G D to a grain of sand in your hand.
