Intro: G Am Em (x2)
Verse:
G Am Em
I will protect your solitude
G Am Em
Keep first watch over our expanse
G Am Em
Fast asleep you can fall in the balcony of Masonic Hall
G Am Em
To the sound of chainsaws dancing
G Am Em
Let go your head- I got it
G Am Em
I am baptized behind the lights all alone
G Am Em
Heaven bent to hell
G Am Em
Heaven herself, the tender warrior - I believe she sent for us
G Am Em
When she saw we were trying our best
G Am Em
Trying to be good
G Am Em
Trying to be kind
G Am Em
Try-trying to stay true
G Am Em
I'm trying, I just want to do right by you
G Am Em
Pale blue eyes
G Am Em
Warm red light
G Am Em
Olympia 1865
G Am Em
The brilliant life of a fly
G Am Em
Let go your head- I got it now
G Am Em
You are the blood in my song
G Am Em
See me spill over when it's sung
G Am Em
Will I spill all over everyone,
G Am Em
When you're gone?
G Am Em
Will I spill, spill
G Am Em
Will I spill, spill when you're gone
G Am Em
Gone, oh God, when you're gone
G Am Em
Gone
G Am Em
My blood will fill the ditch
G Am Em
My blood will bury the mountain
G Am Em
But for now it sits still in my mouth
G Am Em
Just waiting on the tip of my tongue
