[Intro]
F G Dm Am Cm
Dm F Cm E
[Verse 1]
Am F The swarms that I speak are the wrists I have cut Dm Em By flooding the tubs where the warmth held her up Am Dm The lockets believe that the secret of love F Em Has caught its own tail and it just won't give up
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F When I breathe, the heavens can't hold me Dm Em Bm And I can't believe anymore Am Dm The light brings the highest execution F Em Show me the wings I must cut
[Chorus]
Am F D# Em B In your landfill days, these are desperate graves Am F D# Give me the altar, red will shine Em This pendulum won't wait Am F G# Bm In your landfill days, these are desperate graves Am F D# Give me the altar, red will shine Em Am This pendulum won't wait
[Interlude]
Am Dm G F Em
C Dm F C D# E
[Verse 2]
Am F If I slay your spirit with twin current volts Dm Em Bm That weak in your knees in the pit of my palms Am Dm Dressed in the slurs of bovine engines F Am E To feast upon the carcass of your mother
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F When I breathe, the heavens can't hold me Dm Em Bm And I can't believe anymore Am Dm The light brings the highest execution F Em Show me the wings I must cut
[Chorus]
Am F D# Em B In your landfill days, these are desperate graves Am F D# Give me the altar, red will shine Em This pendulum won't wait Am F G# Bm In your landfill days, these are desperate graves Am F D# Give me the altar, red will shine Em Am This pendulum won't wait
[Bridge]
Am C When I turn the dial and leave the gas on Dm F Em I'm the matchstick that you'll never lose Am C These are the splinters made from a single blade Dm F Em I'm the matchstick that you'll never lose Am C I light the key that locks you in Dm F Em I'm the matchstick that you'll never lose Am C And you'll wear the burden of all my burns Dm F Em I'm the matchstick that you'll never lose
[Chorus]
Am F D# Em B In your landfill days, these are desperate graves Am F D# Give me the altar, red will shine Em This pendulum won't wait Am F G# Bm In your landfill days, these are desperate graves Am F D# Give me the altar, red will shine Em Am This pendulum won't wait Am F D# Em B In your landfill days, these are desperate graves Am F D# Give me the altar, red will shine Em This pendulum won't wait Am F G# Bm In your landfill days, these are desperate graves Am F D# Give me the altar, red will shine Em This pendulum won't wait
[Outro]
