version 2
Tuning: half-step down
Bm D x2
Bm D
I was a lid on a house we barely speak of
Bm D
Folded again I could see myself inside
Bm D
And I was amazed how a God could know my first name
Bm D
And you were amazed at the difference in my speech 2, 3, 4
Bm D
Bm D
So what of your words, did I know you would deceive me?
Bm D
And one better in for a calmness in my side
Bm D
So I made a way from a top east fractioned godspeed
Bm D
And what a debate do you still know my full name
Em G Bm
Em G D
Bm D
And I was the one that decided to light you on fire
Bm D
And you were a tree with a root that was wrapped in my brain
Bm D
So build me a sign make me know that you speak of a light
Bm D
How dirty you plead, dirty you plead, dirty you plead, please
Em G Bm
You know how you thought I ditched your house, I'm faking causes
Em G D
And I needn't a word I am the saddest version yet
Em G Bm
So what is the price I pay to be this wrong and stop one?
Em G D
I was the man that claimed to see but now I'm not
Bm D x2
Bm D
I am afraid of the good and bad beneath me
Bm D
So give me a sign for the angels on my feet
Bm D
I was a man yeah I swear I was a man
Bm D
So keep me alive for the angels in my feet
Bm D
Cause I am a way for a man to rid his skin clean
Bm D
So send me a sign for the ones who need my seed
Em G Bm
Em G D
Em G Bm
And I had a dream I killed our families
Em G D
And you were the one I hoped you'd blame
Em G Bm
And I felt a baby in your stomach
Em G D
I knew who he was but he had no name
