G   Gadd9/F#   Cmaj7         Cmaj13/B
    I put the groceries down on the front lawn

G   Gadd9/F#            Cmaj7              Cmaj13/B
    and think maybe the children just want recognition

G   Gadd9/F#    Cmaj7          Cmaj13/B
    I wrote the fairytale on a midnight drive

G   Gadd9/F#   Cmaj7       Cmaj13/B
    Wanting to know if I’m more than alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                A7                         C
    I torched the fields again and killed an honest man

          D          Daug
    Now I understand Mother Nature
[Verse 2]
G   Gadd9/F#   Cmaj7         Cmaj13/B
    Watch me running head-first into the thorns

G   Gadd9/F#      Cmaj7              Cmaj13/B
    It’s like the lights are off but somebody’s home
[Chorus]
Em              Am
    Unwrap that tourniquet ‘round the sun

Em              Am                 C/B
    Turn those subtle reds into neon

C                  A7
    You’ll see the difference when it’s done,

          G               G/F#
    But I understand your hesitation
[Verse 3]
G   Gadd9/F#    Cmaj7             Cmaj13/B
    Come take a walk with me down billionaire’s row

G   Gadd9/F#  Cmaj7            Cmaj13/B
    Trying to keep our balance over zero

G   Gadd9/F#        Cmaj7            Cmaj13/B
    We’ll write the fairytale for the rest of our lives

G   Gadd9/F#     Cmaj7      Cmaj13/B
    Throwing the trash away one more time
[Chorus]
Em          Am
    Holding on to Love like a stone

Em          Am                C/B
    Melting down today for tomorrow’s

C
Covenant of the heart

              A7
You know it’s turbulent from the start

      G               G/F#
And I understand it’s not your nature
[Bridge]
Em  A7  G  D
            But you need a friend

C  A7  G  Bm
            To take you home

Em  A7  G  D
            You’ve got to begin

C  A7   G  Bm
   Again
[Verse 4]
C/G          G                G/F#
     To open castle gates and let me go inside

C/G                G               G/F#
     and taste the bitter tea that won’t let you hide

C/G              G            G/F#
     Then we can take away as much as we can steal

C/G                G              G/F#
     Break all the precious bones before the guards appear

C/G             G          G/F#
     Before the fantasy is cast into the fire

C/G                 G              G/F#
     And strike the temple bell to resonate the
[Chorus]
C
Covenant of the heart

              A7
You know what comes right after the dark,

      G               G/F#
But I understand your hesitation
[Outro] G Gadd9/F# Cmaj7 Cmaj13/B (x8)
