Intro: C G Em Am G C
G
Monsters want to talk to me
Em Am G
No quarter drawn by lawyers on a crimson sea
C G
Weep like willows, break like waves
Em Am
We are fragile creatures on collision
G C
With our judgement days
G
Nightbird says she knows my name
Em
But she don't call it out to me
Am G C
Beneath the rubble like the way you say it
G
Weep like willows, break like waves
Em Am
We are fragile creatures on collision
G C
With our judgement days
Instrumental: C G Em Am G (2x) C
G
Monsters want to crowd my room
Em
But on the night the cold wars bloom
Am G C
You're the only roof I'm standing under
G
Weep like willows, break like waves
Em Am
We are fragile creatures on collision
G C
With our judgement days
G Em
Your heart smolders in the marrow of the night
Am G C
Bitter waters cannot quench my thirsty fire
G
Still, I want to do what's right
Em
But I can't get no sleep
Am G C
Can I stand beside the way you love tonight
Can I stand
G Em
Can I stand beside the way you love tonight
Can I stand
Am G C
Can I stand beside the way you love
