Abm                F#
Crude little wooden idols and aviator shades
    E                                     B                F#
The trinkets and the treasures we brought back from the crusades
     Abm                         F# 
Some guy in an Impala shakes his head when he rides by
    E                           B               F#
But I remember when we shared a vision, you and I


E   Abm   X2


       Abm                     F#
Worked hard to build this altar we made it earn its keep
    E                               B                 F#
The cracks across its surface spiderweb while we're asleep
    Abm                           F#
The sacrificial stains all spread out and soaking through
    E                          B                 F#
But I remember when we kept it pretty, me and you


E                     Abm
   And high above the water
E                          Abm
   the eagle spots the fish
Abm      F#             E     F#                    Abm
   Every martyr in this jungle is gonna get his wish


Abm                          F#
Stockshots, stupid stockshots from the Pamona mall
    E                               B              F#
Set up like unloved icons gathering dust up on the wall
     Abm                         F#
From films no one remembers they call down silently
    E                                B                 F#
But I remember when their names were dear to you and me


B   F#  A   G   

B   F#  A   G F#


Abm                      F#
   Pennies on the dollar everything's gotta go
    E                                  B                  F#
The things that we can't even give away I don't wanna know
Abm                                 F#
Try to see if secrets burn when you hold them up into the light 
E                             B             F#
I remember when we loved each other day and night


E                     Abm
   And high above the water
E                          Abm
   the eagle spots the fish
Abm      F#             E     F#                    Abm
   Every martyr in this jungle is gonna get his wish


E   Abm   X2
