Chords

[Verse 1]
Am            G
How's one to know?

    Fmaj7                Dm              Am
I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones

     Fmaj7        C       G
In a faith forgotten land

Am          G
In from the snow

     Fmaj7                  Dm           Am
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow

Fmaj7           C      G
Tarnished but so grand
[Pre-Chorus]
        Am        G                 Fmaj7
And the old widow goes to the stone every day

      Dm                Am
But I don't, I just sit here and wait

Fmaj7            G
Grieving for the living
[Chorus]
C          G
 Cross your thoughtless heart

Am    Fmaj7
 Only liquor anoints you

C          G
 She's the albatross

Am      Fmaj7
 She is here to destroy you
[Verse 2]
Am       C
Wise men once said

Fmaj7    G
"One bad seed kills the garden"

Am        C
"One less temptress

Fmaj7     G
One less dagger to sharpen"

Am        C     Fmaj7
Locked me up in towers

        G
But I'd visit in your dreams

Am                C         Fmaj7  G
And they tried to warn you about me
[Chorus]
  C    Am
Oh, goddamn

   G               Fmaj7                   C
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand

Am               G
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

C     Am
Oh, I can't

G                Fmaj7              C
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland

   Am                    G
My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered [Bridge]
Dm            Em
Clover blooms in the fields

Fmaj7                    G           Am
Spring breaks loose, the time is near

              G                 C
What would he do if he found us out?

Dm             Em
Crescent moon, coast is clear

Fmaj7                    G           Am
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear

           G               C             G
He's gonna burn this house to the ground
[Chorus]
     C          G
So I crossed my thoughtless heart

Am        Fmaj7
Spread my wings like a parachute

C       G
I'm the albatross

Am      Fmaj7
I swept in at the rescue

C         G
The devil that you know

Am        Fmaj7
Looks now more like an angel

C       G
I'm the life you chose

Am           Fmaj7        C G
And all this terrible danger
[Outro]
  C
So yeah, it's a fire

       Fmaj7                G
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark

        C
And you started it

            Fmaj7 G
You started it

C             G           Am    Fmaj7
So cross your thoughtless heart

    C
So yeah, it's a war

         Fmaj7               G
It's the goddamn fight of my life

               C
And you started-

C         G
She's the albatross

Am     Fmaj7
She is here to destroy you
