Intro:

Bb5 , Eb5  
 

Verse: 
------ 
   I caught sight of my reflection 
Bb5                        Eb5 
   I caught it in the window 
                      Bb5 
   I saw the darkness in my heart 
                            Eb5 
   I saw the signs of my undoing 
Bb5 
   They had been there from the start 
Eb5 
   And the darkness still has work to do 
Bb5 
   The knotted chord's untying 
Eb5 
The heated and the holy 
    Bb5 
Oh they're sitting there on high 
           Eb5    
So secure with everything they're buying 
     Bb5                           Eb5 
In the blood of Eden     lie the woman and the man 
                Ab5   Eb5          Bb5            C5 
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man 
         Ab5         Eb5            Bb5           C5       
In the blood of Eden     lie the woman and the man 
                Ab5   Eb5          Bb5            C5 
We wanted the the union    oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man 
                  Ab5    Eb5 Bb5     Ab5        Bb5         F5         Eb5

Bb5 Eb5  
{verse} 

My grip is surely slipping 

I think I've lost my hold 

Yes I think I've lost my hold 

I cannot get insurance any more 

They don't take credit, only gold 

Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see 

You hold so tightly in your hand 

And all the while the distance grows between you and me 

I do not understand 
 
{Chorus} 

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man 

With the man in the woman and the woman in the man 

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man 

We wanted the the union    oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man 
                  Ab5    Eb5 Bb5     Ab5        Bb5         F5         C5 
Bridge: 
------- 
   At my  request      you take me in 
C5    C5 Bb5    Bb5     C5      
   In that tenderness     I am floating away 
C5         C5 Bb5  Bb5      C5     C5 
   No certainty,      nothing to rely on 
      C5  Bb5 Bb5             C5 
   Holding still      for a moment 
C5 C5   Bb5    Bb5       C5 
What a moment this is 
       F5 
Oh for a moment of forgetting 
         C5 
A moment of bliss 
  F5 
Oh.... 
Eb5     Bb5 , Eb5 
{verse} 

I can hear the distant thunder 

Of a million unheard souls 

Of a million unheard souls 

Watch each one reach for creature comfort 

For the filling of their holes 
 
{Chorus} 

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man 

I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man 

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man 

I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man 
           Ab5         Eb5            Bb5           C5       
In the blood of Eden we have done everything we can 

In the blood of Eden, so we end as we began 

With the man in the woman and the woman in the man 

It was all for the union,   oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man 
                   Ab5    Eb5 Bb5     Ab5        Bb5         F5         C5
