Verse
Dm Bb
Soon enough the room begins to spin
Gm A
And all the way into the drain goes the rest of it
Dm C
But far beyond the space between the walls
Gm
They couldn’t find the stewardess
Dm
I hope you know they won’t forget
B C Dm
It runs into my veins, I’m chlorinating up
C B
And up above, the emanation of the son
C Dm
Who thinks he’s got something to prove
And we’re so scared of it
[Refrão] Dm C B
I defy you, keeper of the dying, I defy you
C Dm
Spinning in the night into our bedrooms
C B C
And telling us it’s over, I defy you
Dm C B
I defy you, keeper of the dying, I defy you
C Dm
Spinning in the night into our bedrooms
C B C
And telling us it’s over, I defy you
Verse
Dm Bm
Now quiet in the darkness we will wait
Gm A
One by one our bodies start to seize
Dm C
But take my hand our lead of mine of Mystery
Gm Dm
Don’t be afraid of it, I’ve got a plan
B C Dm
And down into the cove and opal of your heart
C B
To take the key you swallowed at the start,
B C Dm C
Unlock the space that lies between the walls and run on home
[Refrão] Dm C B
I defy you, keeper of the dying, I defy you
C Dm
Spinning in the night into our bedrooms
C B C
And telling us it’s over, I defy you
Dm C B
I defy you, keeper of the dying, you are unknown
C Dm
She is on her way to see the Mystery
C B C
She will be the queen and she’ll defy you...
