We Need A Myth Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GWe need a myth

 We need an amethyst brBmidge

 We need a high hanging cEmliff

Jump, fall and lift

 We can mCake it

But we need a myth

We need a path through the mist

Like in our beds, we were just kids

Like what was said by our parents

G♯m

A myth

 'Cause what we're after is jC♯ust this

A myth

'Cause what we're after is just this

 We need a mAyth

 I feel my heart's like a C♯mfist

 Words spilling out of the blessed F♯mlips

 Of any prophet or goDddess

I need a myth

Brought back to life by a kiss

Scrape away grey cement

Show me the world as it was again

As it was in a myth

A red ribbon to reconnect

The lady's head to her neck

And to forget that her throat was ever slit

 'Cause what we're after is jA♯ust this

 It's a mD♯yth

'Cause what we're after is just this

 And I'm G♯msick of all these piF♯cture books that tEry

To steal some old reflections for their light

But desperate measures point to desperate times

 And that's F♯why

We need a myth

B(ID♯mnstrG♯mumenEtal)

 We're cut adBrift

 We need a mass uD♯mplift

 The world is trembling and weG♯meping

 Just at the point of belEieving

In a myth

The sun that shines on my head

The moon that lights me to bed

Were two identical twins

Inside of a myth

I heard the voice of a friend

On Lethe's banks, wading in

And he said, "Before I forget...”

 We need a mC♯yth

 As we lean in to Fmkiss

 To get two nails through the A♯mwrist

 To get covered in bF♯lood

And to get covered in spit

 And to forC♯give

And if all we're taught is a trick

Why would this feeling persist?

And with the truth closing in

I must insist

We need a myth

As the song progresses, they use barre chords further up the neck; for example, even

though the last set of chords has an F-minor in it, you'll want to do it at the 7th fret

instead of the 1st if you want to be as accurate as possible.
