[Verse 1]
F#m Bm7
A dozen crows and then some on the rhododendrons
Dmaj7 C#7
In the cemetery where I lay
F#m Bm7
Like Rebecca reigning over Manderley
Dmaj7 C#7
My foot fell upon your grave
F#m Bm7
Like a pressure point hidden beneath the soil
D C#7
Down came sheets of pouring hail
F#m Bm7
I sheltered in the church's archway then
D C#7
From the shards of glass falling so pale
[Chorus]
F#m E D C#7
And I looked up and saw the sun, it separated all the colors
F#m E D C#7
And the ice, into my eyes, it fell and left me blind
F#m E D C#7
That was the last thing that I saw, the fractured glass in its downpour
F#m E C#
I felt the blood mix with the water and I didn't see no more
[Verse 2]
F#m Bm7
I came across an injured dove
D C#7
I wanted to put her out of her misery
F#m Bm
There came no signal from above
D C#7
No sign, no guide, I thought whatever could this mean
F#m Bm7
And with my hand I picked her up
Dmaj7 C#7
And in that moment, oh, it shifted magically
F#m Bm7 Dmaj7 F#m
For when her feathers felt my touch, I saw her a demon
Feathers, they turned black
Bm F#m C#7
Oh, she was no Phoenix, but a creature of the ash
[Chorus]
F#m E
I let her go, she hit the ground
D C#7
I heard the thud, regained her color
F#m E Bm C#
Saw the scars, she had been bound by someone and left to die
[Bridge]
Bm
I never really found that dove
A
It's just a story I made up
D
Because I wanted all of this to stop
A
And I didn't know how to tell you
D Bm D
I didn't know how (mhm, mhm, mhm)
A Bm D A E
Oh, I didn't know how (mhm, mhm, mhm) (ooh)
[Chorus]
Bm D A E
And I looked up, into the sun, it separated all the colors
Bm D A
And the ice into my eyes, it fell and left me blind
Bm7 D A E
And I looked up, and saw the sun, it separated all the colors
Bm D A E
And the ice into my eyes, it fell and changed my mind
