Chords

As recorded by Dispatch (From the 2025 Album YELLOW JACKET) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C
All alone and thinking out on the fire escape

                                   G
Rather like a squatter in a candle fire

G
While all the dusty records burn their tunes away

                                C
The firefighters hold the trampoline higher

C
But meanwhile in some harbor

C
The merchants fight themselves

                                        G
While the pilots all draw straws on the wing

G
The artists climb the girders with paint cans alight

                              C
Knowing full well of the silencing
[Chorus]
                            F
But then the moon takes her lovers

               C
And the lovers agree

   G                              Am
To sacrifice her out on the seven seas

                    F                 C      G
Folks came from all over with flowers and wreaths

        F                G        C
And not much was made of sworn enemies
[Verse 2]
    C
The birds wind their way through skyscrapers ravine

                                        G
Losing their prey in the steam of the city street

G
The hunters tie their laces in the revolving door

                                C
What time has held he's refused to keep
[Chorus]
                            F
And then the moon takes her lovers

               C
And the lovers agree

   G                              Am
To sacrifice her out on the seven seas

                    F                 C      G
Folks came from all over with flowers and wreaths

        F                G        C
And not much was made of sworn enemies
[Instrumental Break] C G C [Bridge]
            F                C
So I beg to differ, I beg to see

       G                       Am
The difference between you and me

                    F
If I bring you your coffee

                    C G
And you bring me my tea

      F                       G           C
Can I still swear that you're my sworn enemy?
[Out-Chorus]
                     F                          C
Yeah, the moon takes her lovers and the lovers agree

   G                              Am
To sacrifice her out on the seven seas

                    F                 C      G
Folks came from all over with flowers and wreaths

        F                G        C
And not much was made of sworn enemies

        F                G        C
No, not much was made of sworn enemies

          F             G        C
Oh, can I still be your sworn enemy?
