Bittersweet Genesis For Him And Her by Kishi Bashi
Bittersweet Genesis For Him And Her
Tuning: E A D G B E
G Am
In the beginning we were scrambled together
C D Dsus2
Mixed in a celestial bowl and hand fluffed with a feather
Em D
And the tears of bliss were not amiss
C
It was a good day
G Am
The second day, we created the earth
C D Dsus2
Tickled in irony as we made love upon it's girth
Em D C
And to our delight, the sun gave us the stars
G Am
The creation of the moon was a miracle of light
C D Dsus2
Descended from the rift in the dark star of night
G D C
My veins pulsed butter as it illuminated your thighs
G Am
On the fourth day, we felt compelled to whistle
C D Dsus2
For how could we call the love birds to nestle
Em D C
And keep us company in this world anew and fresh?
[Chorus]
C G Em
Today I paint to life, a portrait of the sacred friend, the perfect wife
D C
In synesthesia
C
Together we have filled the world with colored wine
G
But the story nears the present time
Em D C
Of restlessness and wake up calls
C G
Wake up! Wake up!
G Am
Years have flown fast but then who's counting
C D Dsus2 Em
The wars have been won but there's few left standing between us
D C
And the shadows of Christmas past
G Am
Critically acclaimed but sadly underrated
C D Dsus
Fortune definitely favored us, but no one celebrated
Em D C
Our wits were splitting at their ends...
[Chorus]
C
We gazed upon the city lights
G Em
We each laughed aloud one final time and agreed:
D C
This is one thing we'll miss…
C
And as we held our breath and forced our will
G
The minutes stopped, the air was still
Em D C
And minds began to unlearn their faulted ways
C
We blasted through the hills!
G
They were the first to go, and the most painful so
Because we made them first when we learned to bleed
Em D
With our fingers on the seeds that sowed in the dirt
C
And then cried when we came in the glorious masterwork of life ending
G
And beginning again
Em Am
We ignored the pleas of the forest and the seas
C
As we scorched the earth with our tears…
C
We burned them in fear
C
Until there's nothing left
C
Nothing left
C
Nothing, nothing left
G
But us
(Note: play the final G with an anchor on the B-string)
