Written by: Hannah Margaret Heath & William Tyler Heath [Intro] Dsus4 C Dsus2 C D5/A [Verse 1]
C
Wars are raising for her

   Dsus2             D5/A
Crusades to adore her

    C                      Dsus2 D5/A
The light of your afterword

        C               Asus4
Are you losing her true nature

                     Dsus2
When you loosen nomenclature

         C            Asus4
When you gift another moniker?

C
  What's true is like a sickle

      C              Dsus2
It'll cut you to the middle

     C                      Dsus2
Your rose is without a thorn

           C                    Asus4
But no, my mouth don't taste of metal

                         Dsus2
From the pot here to the kettle

  Dsus2          Asus4
I think we got a lot we gotta learn
[Chorus]
    C              Gsus4     F
And even though by any other name

    F                  C        Dsus4       D5/A
Her scent would linger sweetly, all the same

F              C
Call her briar long enough

           Dsus4                      Cmaj7
And you'll tangle up the true and the fable
[Instrumental] Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 Asus4 [Verse]
     C
Your dowry isn't fooling

      C                  Dsus2 D5/A
The pyrite is showing through

         C
It won't buy you that empty tomb

Dsus2             C         Asus4
     And no alchemic incantation

      Asus4          Dsus2
For a counterfeit salvation

D5/A                Dsus2
Can appease your leviathan groom

    C
No, love'll get you slaughtered

                  Dsus2
Like a ram at the altar

        Dsus2                              D
What is safe ain't the same as what is good

                       Asus4
So lay compress to the aching

                      Dsus2
Of your body made for breaking

                        Asus4              C
When we've got a lot of breaking left to do
[Chorus]
       C          Gsus4     F
'Cause even under any other creed

    F                C        Dsus4          D5/A
The crucifix and the hangman, they both agree

F               C
Change comes so cheaply

    Dsus4                      Cmaj7
For those of us already at the table
[Outro] Cmaj7 Dsus4 Cmaj7 Dsus4
