Chords by: Zak Lommen

As Always i reccomend that you listen to the song as you play it for the first time to
get the strumming down. 
I read a tab somewhere out there that said capo on 3, and i tried it and it definitly
sounds more accurate than just open. You choose.


VERSE 1:
      A5        E5              G5                 
After all these implements and texts designed by 
D5                C5                D5
intellects we're vexed to find evidently there's
      G5
still so much that hides.
    A5         E5               G5              
And though the saints dub us divine in ancient 
D5                  C5            D5
fading lines their sentiment is just as hard to 
G5
pluck from the vine.


CHORUS:
F5                       D5
I'll try hard not to pretend 
F5                      D5          E5
allow myself no mock defense as I 

step into the night.


VERSE 2:
A5    E5                G5                D5
Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure 
        C5                   D5                
out the nursery rhymes that helped us out in 
       G5
making sense of our lives
A5            E5                G5        D5   
The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me
  C5              D5                 G5
I value them but I won't cry every time one's 

wiped out. 

CHORUS:
F5                         D5
I'll try hard not to give in 
F5                       D5         E5
batten down to fare the wind 
F5                      D5
rid my head of this pretense 
F5                      D5           E5
allow myself no mock defense as I 

step into the night


A5      E5      C5      D5      E5


E5
La la la la
E5
La  la la la

C5        G5     
La la la la 
D5          F5   G5
la la la la la  la  

(Repeat this once)

C5                G5
Mercy's eyes are blue and 
D5          F5   G5
when she places them in 
C5        G5
front of you 
D5      F5       G5 
nothing holds a roman 
C5      G5
candle to 
D5         F5          G5
the solemn warmth you feel 
F5        C5       F5        C5
Inside

F5        C5       Bb5       G5        E5
