Bm           A
How's one to know?

I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones

     G           D        A
In a faith forgotten land

Bm           A
In from the snow

Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow

Tarnished but so grand
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                  A                G
And the old widow goes to the stone every day

      Em                Bm
But I don't, I just sit here and wait

Grieving for the living
[Chorus]
  D   Bm
Oh, goddamn

   A                 G                    D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand

Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

Oh, I can't

A                G                  D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland

My house of stone, your ivy grows

And now I'm covered in you
[Verse 2]
Bm        A
I wish to know

The fatal flaw that makes you long to be

    G          D    A
Magnificently cursed

Bm           A
He's in the room

     G             Em7           Bm
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see

He wants what's only yours

[Bridge 1]
Em7           F#m
Clover blooms in the fields

G                        A           Bm
Spring breaks loose, the time is near

              D/C#              D
What would he do if he found us out?

Em7            F#m
Crescent moon, coast is clear

G                        A           Bm
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear

           D/C#              D
He's gonna burn this house to the ground
[Verse 3]
Bm           A
How's one to know?

G                    Em7             Bm
I'd live and die for moments that we stole

    G                 D    A
On begged and borrowed time

Bm            A
So tell me to run

G                   Em7               Bm
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become

And drink my husband's wine
[Chorus]
