C G Am C D
Am G Am C D
[Verse]
C G Am G D The only thing that keeps me from driving this car Em G Am C D Half-light Jackknife into the canyon at night C G Am G D Signs and Wonders: Perseus aligned with the skull Em G Am C D Slain Medusa: Pegasus alight from us all
[Chorus]
Em G C D Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they're found Em G C D In a veil of great surprises, I wonder did you love me at all
[Verse]
C G Am G D The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm Em G Am C D Cross-hatch warm bath Holiday Inn after dark C G Am G D Signs and Wonders: water stain writing the wall Em G Am C D Daniel's message: blood of the moon on us all
[Chorus]
Em G C D Do I care if I despise this? Nothing else matters, I know. Em G C D In a veil of great disguises, how do I live with your ghost?
[Verse]
Em D Should I tear my eyes out now? Em C G D Everything I see returns to you somehow. Em D Should I tear my heart out now? Em C G D Everything I feel returns to you somehow. mmmm C D I want to save you from your sorrow.
[Interlude]
C G Am G D
Em G C D
[Verse]
C G Am G D The only reason why I continue at all Em G Am C D Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb. C G Am G D Signs and Wonders: Sea Lion caves in the dark. Em G Am C DE Blind faith, God's grace, nothing else left to impart.
[Chorus]
Em G C D Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they're found. Em G C D In a veil of great surprises, hold onto my head til I drown. Em G C D Should I tear my eyes out now before I see too much? Em G C D Should I tear my arms off now, I want to feel your touch. Em D Should I tear my eyes out now? Em C G D Everything I see returns to you somehow. Em D Should I tear my heart out now? Em C G D Everything I feel returns to you somehow.
