Intro: E A Am (2x)


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

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


C                     F
Close that stare into morning sun
         D                 G
When the dots form into connection
       C                   F
If I'm honest, you come to mind
          G
But baby, I'm not
       C                   F
If I'm honest, you come to mind
          G
But baby, I'm not


Instrumental: E A Am


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


E                      A
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#m              D
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B
  You made me

E                      A
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#m              D
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B
  You made me


Instrumental: E A Am


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


E                      A
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#m              D
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B
  You made me
E                      A
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#m              D
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B
  You made me


Instrumental: E A F#m D B 2x 


E                      A
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#m              D
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B
  You made me

E                      A
You're my lord, you're my shepherd
F#m              D
Careful, kid, no one gets hurt
B                  E
  You made me this way


Instrumental: E A Am (2x)
