Nearly Beloved Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G D Em

C D Em

GLast night I drDeamt one thousand lEmives

 I could see the daCwn through a diffDerent set of Emeyes

GThere in my sluDmber passing tEmime

 Long live the wCorld resDting on its siEmde

 I walked the orCchard with yGou

 Your haDnd in my Emmine

CIn the evergreGens drinking B7wine

 I saw the sEmnow fall in bDlack and white from the aCuburn sGky

 Last niB7ght I lived more than one thousand lEmives

 Not onDe of them surGvived

Up through the earth and dawn I came

I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain

In the vacuum of my own brigade

Resurrected to make you mine again

Orpheus looked back once, she sailed the underworld

No second chances will be earned

I have returned as a phantom now to walk the bow and stern

 Last niB7ght I lived more than one thousand lEmives

 Not onDe of them surCvived

EmIf we could do better I kBmnow that we would

CMaybe admit it now, we're nGot that goDod

EmWe keep the needle between zBmero and one

CYou play your fiddle, baby, IG'll play duDmb C

Into the pastures of our minds

Goes my nearly beloved and I

Blazing two parallel white lines

Through this broken heart spilled open wide

Time might be on my side

But it's mostly far behind

I was the apple of your eye

Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel there stuck with knives

Last night I lived more than one thousand lives

Not one of them survived
