Chords

[Intro] C#m [Verse 1]
C#m
The fragile keep secrets, gathered in pockets

            G#
And they'll sell them for nothing a cheap watch or locket

     E                   C#m
That kind of gold washes off

        C#m
And the sad act like lepers, they stick to the shadows

    G#
And long to ring bells of warning to tell of their coming

            E                   C#m
So that the pure can shut their doors

        C#m
And the angry are animals senseless and savage

     G#
They act without order in logical lapses

      E                      C#m
They stain their mouths with blood
[Chorus 1]
   F#m                               C#m
So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight

   F#m                                 C#m
The corn has grown stalks that form a wall too high

            F#m                                   C#m
But the wind carries sounds that I can't see from beyond that line

          B     A        G#
Then the stalks begin to sway

   C#           B   A   G#                     C#m
Oh stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away

     A G# C#m
Yeah!
A G# C#m [Verse 2]
       C#m
Well the wicked are vultures, and they bake in the canyons

       G#
They circle in sunlight and wait for their victims

    E                   C#m
To collapse and call to them

         C#m
And the desperate are water. They will run down forever

        G#
As they soak into silence mend up together

      E                                 C#m
In a dark and distant, dark and distant place
[Chorus 2]
         F#m                             C#m
So don't leave me here with only mirrors watching me

     F#m                             C#m
This house it holds nothing but the memories

        F#m                       C#m
And the moon it leaves silver but never sleep

             B      A        G#
And then the silver turns to gray

   C#           B  A   G#                      C#m
Oh stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away
