Intro: Dm Dm dreams stripped down beyond firelight A i would go over but my only coat's soft white Dm and seeing things unreal god knows what that stain A A and what comes crawling back again tears a harbor A down to the thorny altar Dm i'm afraid i might fade away Dm Dm it's to the blood we sing and burn A thousand blackbirds on a string return Dm there's a solitary sun too high A gone without the chosen one, goodbye A the ashes scatter A burning jacob's ladder Dm i'm afraid i might fade away Bridge: Dm , D4 , Dm , D4 Bb , G Dm , D4 , Dm , D4 Bb , G Dm Dm it's to the blood we sing and burn A thousand blackbirds on a string return Dm there's a solitary sun too high A gone without the chosen one, goodbye Dm it's to the blood we sing and burn A thousand blackbirds on a string return Dm there's a solitary sun too high A gone without the chosen one, goodbye A rage untethered A the soul a stony desert Dm i'm afraid i might fade away Dm dreams stripped down beyond firelight A i would go over but my only coat's soft white Dm and seeing things unreal god knows what that stain A A and what comes crawling back again A the ashes scatter A burning jacob's ladder Dm i'm afraid i might fade away
