Intro: E5 A5 A5 (2x)


E5
Glass-work shards decorate this house
      A5                  A5
We're tossing lust darts out windows
    E5
The splash and jangle of the secret signs
  A5                        A5
Defined, you claimed, some golden ages
 E5       A5 A5
upon us

    E5
You always love short story form
    A5                    A5
The signs behind it, the hidden bars
    E5
You live for flaming, the attractions new
  A5                       A5
A lever's pulled from the secret room


C5                     F5
Close that stare into morning sun
         D5                 G5
When the dots form into connection
       C5                   F5
If I'm honest, you come to mind
          G5
But baby, I'm not
       C5                   F5
If I'm honest, you come to mind
          G5
But baby, I'm not


Instrumental: E5 A5 A5


    E5
The ink draft's polished into working script
   A5                      A5
We stare in wonder at the steps we skipped
E5
Tripping wires we have so carefully crossed
    A5                      A5
The science behind it at a perfect loss


E5                      A5
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#5              D5
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B5
  You made me

E5                      A5
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#5              D5
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B5
  You made me


Instrumental: E5 A5 A5


E5
Used up all of the French we took
    A5                       A5
The science behind it was a dirty look
E5
Songez pas de rock-n-roll
A5                    A5
Songez pas de rock-n-roll pour moi


E5                      A5
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#5              D5
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B5
  You made me
E5                      A5
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#5              D5
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B5
  You made me


Instrumental: E5 A5 F#5 D5 B5 2x 


E5                      A5
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#5              D5
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B5
  You made me

E5                      A5
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#5              D5
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B5                  E5
  You made me this way
