Intro: D5

  D5
dreams stripped down beyond firelight
                            A5
i would go over but my only coat's soft white
                    D5
and seeing things unreal

god knows what that stain
         A5                         A5
and what comes crawling back again

tears a harbor
        A5
down to the thorny altar
                      D5
i'm afraid i might fade away

D5

D5
it's to the blood we sing and burn
A5
thousand blackbirds on a string return
D5
there's a solitary sun too high
A5
gone without the chosen one, goodbye

A5
the ashes scatter
                  A5
burning jacob's ladder
                         D5
i'm afraid i might fade away

the soul a stony desert
