Standard (EADGBE)

Verse.

I felt my vocal chords weakening

I felt my concave thoughts

I felt my voluntary blindness

 For staring straight into the sun

The romantic air of your eye patch

Called me across the room

I clung there and danced with you silent

Admired your divine tattoos

Intro x2

Verse 2.

We slept in the shadow of a cedar tree (same chord progression)

We made love on the rising tide

We smelled the perfume of the waxing moon

We dreamt of all the friendships kind

We touched the blood of the black cat

We pet the mammoth dog of tears

In the flickering light we were laughing

Necessity conquers fear

 Don't lose yourself

 Don't let yourself be lost

 Don't lose yourself

 Don't let yourself be lost

Verse 3.

Dreaming we were stones in black stillness

Dreaming of the death of the sun

Waking to a world of white blindness

Painted eyes of the holy ones

The death of the word was upon us

And the discipline of the wind

We see less and less all the time, dear

Just look at this mess we are in

Chorus

Bridge. (same chords again)

Staring at the entrance to the mine

I prayed for your wounds to close

Tiger ointment and a cosmic collision

And the crucifixion of the rose

Chorus
