D#m                E                          B                 
There's a hunger in the air and lemons swollen in the trees
D#m  D#m7              E            C#m        G#m     E         A7/G        F#  
When shadows fall across the moon, I strain my ears towards the breeze
D#m                E                      B              
A wasted summer listening, secluded as a cemetery

Withered limbs under the sand for an hourglass eternity

B           C#m            G#m 
You hung an albatross around my neck
B                  C#m             G#m             
When you needed to knock me on the head and say
G              F#
"No! No! No! No!"

D#m               E             A                   B          
Jackal legs and kangal dogs are cloaked in darkest forestry
D#m              E                C#m        G#m      E       A7/G
A woman dangles from a bridge on a thread of silver mercury

B          C#m            G#m 
You hung an albatross around my neck
B                  C#m             G#m              
When you needed to knock me on the head and say
G             F#
"No! No! No! No!"

              B           C#m      G#m                 
I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed
B                C#m              B/D#          
I need a body to knock me on the head and say
Em            E     
"No! No! No! No!"

I saw a feathered silhouette on the crest of unforgiving waves
D#m              E                                B    C#     F#
It hovered over salty air and I couldn't tear my eyes away
D#m                   E             A              B         
And somewhere in between the lines I drifted into fantasy
D#m                 E             G          E          A7/G      
But you're the only open book, a portal to a star-crossed sea
