[Intro]
Am C Am Am/G Am
[Verse]
Am C
There’s a crack in the altar,
Am
Pale light through the break
C
Like Crooked Teeth
Am C
You saw me falter
F
knowin what was at stake
C
Nothin of underneath
G Em
And the Hills move like lungs
Am G
The river speaks in Tounges
Am G F
And I am not alone
Em Am Am/G Am
Am C
Naked Shenandoah
Am
shakin me down
C
Her banks lined with foam
Am C
I saw you trembling
Am
all wrapped up in a towel
C
Afraid to go home.
G Em
And the sky frozen black
Am G
Covered my wayward tracks
Am G F
As I left to get stoned
Em Am Am/G Am
Am C
A sap of recollection
Am
Bleeds through the grain
C
and hardens the soil
Am C
Flights of temporal affection
F
Poison the vein
C
Loosen the coils
G Em
And if I could find a use
Am G
for things I cannot help but do
Am G F
I might one day atone.

Am C
Come on down from your mountain
Am
I’m gonna kick in my own door
C
Gain my native sight
Am C
Shed these worries unfounded
F
I’ll leave em there on the floor
C
In the blue television light
G Em
And the wolves are closing in
Am G
Blood runs cold and thin
Am G F
Moon shines bright as bones.
G Em
And the Hills move like lungs
Am G
The rivers speak in Tounges
Am G F
And I am not alone
[Outro]
