Bridge: | D Em Bm7 C | I Alone ------- G D C Cmaj7 It's easier not to be wise Measure these things by your brains I sank into Eden with you Alone in the church by and by I'll read to you here save your eyes You'll need them your boat is at sea Your anchor is up, you've been swept away And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate B To leave you there by yourself chained to fate E B G I alone love you I alone tempt you I alone love you A Fear is not the end of this... It's easier not to be great And measure these things by your eyes We long to be here by his resolve Alone in the church by and by To cradle the baby in space To leave you there by yourself chained to fate I alone... B Oh now we took it back too far Only love can save us now All these riddles that you burn All come running back to you All these rhythms that you hide Only love can save us now All these riddles that you burn yeah yeah yeah Iris ---- C#m I liked the way my hand looked on your head F# In the presence of my knuckles C#m But the beauty of this vision alone Just like yesterday's sunset F# Has been perverted by the sentimental And mistaken for love E F# The felix of your truth will always break it And the iris of your eye will always shake it And the armies, the armies I have created A Will always hate it B Will always bait you on I liked the way my hand looked on your head In the presence of my struggle But the beauty of this vision alone I can't shake from my tree just yet It keeps invading all my private moments Listen to me now F# B F# Do not see their flags Do not see their flags E Do not see their flags A Do not see their flags E Deep inside my head A Do not see their flags E A The felix of your truth will always break it And the iris of your eye will always shake it And the armies, the armies I have created Will always hate it, will always bait you on F# C#m Do not see their flags Lightning Crashes ----------------- F C G Lightning crashes a new mother cries Her placenta falls to the floor The angel opens her eyes The confusion sets in Before the doctor can even close the door Lightning crashes an old mother dies Her intentions fall to the floor The angel closes her eyes The confusion that was hers Belongs now to the baby down the hall Oh now feel it coming back again Like the rolling thunder chasing the wind Forces pulling from the center of the earth again I can feel it Lightning crashes a new mother cries This moment she's been waiting for The angel opens her eyes Pale blue colored iris Presents the circle And puts the glory out to hide Bridge: ]: | Am G | F G :[ Top --- Am Asus4 Am Asus4 Em Am F This is not helping me at all What are you doing here In the name of God and Love It's the distribution of fear Pyramids, healing wines, analysts with fame I haven't got your degree And I forgot your name C Dm Pick me up put me on the ground C Dm Set me up and spin me all around F Am F Am (intro thing) No you are not the one I wish to see This is not helping me at all Where did we get this plan?
