E           D                         F#m                    A
 I never questioned the call of the father to his next of kin

Bm                   D                  A
 Pull me out of the fire, tell me you love me

                    C#m
And throw me back in

D            E
 If I could ask for mercy

C#m              D       A        Bm
 If I could give up this life of sin
The only one I've ever known
D
 Visit my parents and then go back home
[Verse 2: Devereaux]
E                    D
 Been scanning the stations

                 F#m                   A
Searching for a song to fall back in love

Bm            D                      A                 C#m
 Came across one that shook me so sweetly when I was young

D              E                C#m
 Before I was rusted as this car
[Pre-Chorus 1: Devereaux]
           D      A          Bm
Before the bitter moths consumed thе brighter spots of a hopeful past

     D
Is it too much to ask for something that will last?
[Chorus 1: Devereaux]
A
Dеvereaux

                        B
I always heard as my granddad's name

                       D                  F#m      D
The first time that I felt its weight I cried and I said

A
Devereaux

                     B
In the space between here and you

                          D
There's a kid who don't know what to do

   E                        G
He waits in the silence to hear
[Bridge: Devereaux & Fathers]
      F#m
And inside of the tent, they're turning animals to men

         E                          A
Here's a heart for guilt, here's a mind to think again

Bm     D  E       Bm  D     E
Out of my garden! Out of my life!

         F#m
I wasn't born to be this, I was born to fight dragons

       E
With a cowl on my face

          A
With an auspicious birthday

Bm     D  E       Bm  D     E
Out of my garden! Out of my life!
[Verse 3: Devereaux] (no guitar here) N.C. Riverrun to the country N.C. I sail in a basket down the tides and wait N.C. For some gentle face to come peering down N.C. Through the wicker frame N.C. I think of my mother and her voice N.C. The dishes that she made [Pre-Chorus 2: Devereaux]
                 Bm
It's too late to hope that the one who finds me now

D
 Will know her song and speak it out loud
And she sang [Chorus 2: Devereaux's Mother] N.C. Devereaux! N.C. We all come from a long, long line N.C. Today you're walking here side by side with me and mine N.C. Oh, Devereaux! N.C. I always heard as my own dad's name
                                         F#m       D
The first time that I saw you take it, I cried and I said

 A
Devereaux!

                    Bm
In the land beyond me and you

                           D
A bunch of kids who don't know what to do

   E                       G
We wait in the silence to hear
[Outro: Devereaux's Mother]
A                              Bm    D E G
Devereaux, we all wait in the silence

A                              Bm    D E G
Devereaux, we all wait in the silence
A Bm
