sounds more accurate than just open. You choose.
[Verse 1]
Am E G After all these implements and texts designed by D C D intellects we're vexed to find evidently there's G still so much that hides. Am E G And though the saints dub us divine in ancient D C D fading lines their sentiment is just as hard to G pluck from the vine.
[Chorus]
F D I'll try hard not to pretend F D E allow myself no mock defense as I
step into the night.
[Verse 2]
Am E G D Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure C D out the nursery rhymes that helped us out in G making sense of our lives Am E G D The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me C D G I value them but I won't cry every time one's wiped out.
[Chorus]
F D I'll try hard not to give in F D E batten down to fare the wind F D rid my head of this pretense F D E allow myself no mock defense as I
step into the night
Am E C D E
E La la la la E La la la la C G La la la la Dm F G la la la la la la
(Repeat this once)
C G Mercy's eyes are blue and Dm F G when she places them in C G front of you Dm F G nothing holds a roman C G candle to Dm F G the solemn warmth you feel F C F C Inside F C Bb There's no measuring of G E Nothing else is love
Am E G D C D G x2
