[Intro] Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 x4 [Verse 1]
Gsus4  Dsus4    Gsus4    Dsus4
Love      was a promise made of smoke

Gsus4   Dsus4  Gsus4   Dsus4
      In  a  frozen copse of trees

Gsus4 Dsus4     Gsus4     Dsus4
A bone cold and older than our bodies

Gsus4   Dsus4  Gsus4   Dsus4
     Slowly floating in the sea

      Gsus4        Dsus4       Gsus4
Every morning there were planes

      Dsus4     Gsus4 Dsus4  Gsus4        Dsus4
The shiny blades of  pagan  angels in our father's skies

      Gsus4    Dsus4       Gsus4         Dsus4
Every evening I would watch her hold the pillow

Gsus4   Dsus4            Gsus4   Dsus4
Tight against her hollows, her unholy child

      Gsus4    Dsus4        Gsus4   Dsus4
I was still a beggar shaking out my stolen coat

Gsus4  Dsus4     Gsus4 Dsus4
  Among the angry  cemetery leaves

          Gsus4        Dsus4     Gsus4         Dsus4
When they caught the king beneath the borrowed car

Gsus4         Dsus4        Gsus4       Dsus4
Righteous, drunk, and fumbling for the royal keys
[Instrumental] Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 x8 [Verse 2]
Gsus4 Dsus4   Gsus4      Dsus4   Gsus4      Dsus4
Love    was a father's flag and sung like a shank

      Gsus4     Dsus4
In a cake on our leather boots

Gsus4  Dsus4  Gsus4      Dsus4
A   beautiful feather floating down

Gsus4         Dsus4     Gsus4        Dsus4
 To where the birds had shit on empty chapel pews

      Gsus4     Dsus4     Gsus4    Dsus4
Every morning we found one more machine

    Gsus4     Dsus4     Gsus4      Dsus4
To mock our ever waning patience at the well

      Gsus4        Dsus4   Gsus4           Dsus4  Gsus4
Every evening she'd descend the mountain stealing socks

      Dsus4           Gsus4         Dsus4
And singing something good where all the horses fell

       Gsus4       Dsus4   Gsus4      Dsus4
Like a snake within the wilted garden wall

    Gsus4    Dsus4    Gsus4  Dsus4
I'd hint to her every possibility

               Gsus4    Dsus4    Gsus4     Dsus4
While with his gun the pagan angel rose to say

    Gsus4       Dsus4      Gsus4    Dsus4
"My love is one made to break every bended knee"
[Outro] Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 x4
