A                           D
    I caught sight of my reflection

                      A
I caught it in the window

                         D
I saw the darkness in my heart

A                            D
    I saw the signs of my undoi-ing

A                                 D
    They had been there from the start

A                               D
    And the darkness still has work to do

A                         D
    The knotted chord's untyi-ing

        A
They're heated and they're holy

            D
Oh, they're sitting there on high

     A                            D
So secure with everything they're buying
[Chorus 1]
                G     D
In the blood of Eden

         A             D/F#
Lie the woman and the man

         G           D
With the man in the woman

         A            D/F#
And the woman in the man

                G     D
In the blood of Eden

         A            D/F#
Lie the woman and the man

              G      D
We wanted the union

A         Asus4        A
Ohhh, the union of the woman

                  D
The woman and the man
[Interlude] (D) A D [Verse 2]
A                      D
    My grip is surely slipping

                      A
I think I've lost my hold

                           D
Yes, I think I've lost my hold

A                   D
    I cannot get insurance anymore

A                               D
    They don't take credit, only gold

A                           D
    Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see

A                                D
    You hold so tightly in your hand

A                                   D
    And all the while the distance grows between you and me

A               D
    I do not understand
[Chorus 2]
                G     D
In the blood of Eden

         A             D/F#
Lie the woman and the man

[Bridge]
               A                Bm
At my request,   you take me in

                    A                 Bm
In that tenderness,    I am floating away

              A                   Bm
No certainty,   nothing to rely on

              A
Holding still

          Bm
For a mooo-ooment

        E
What a moment this is

          Bm
Oh, for a moment of forgetting

  E Esus4   E2
A moment of bliss

D               A
Heeeeeeeeeeeeee-eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[Interlude] D A D [Verse 3]
A                          D
   I can hear the distant thunder

                      A
Of a million unheard souls

                      D
Of a million unheard souls

A                                     D
   Watch each one reach for creature comfo-ort

A                           D
   For the filling of their holes
