Saint Cecilia Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

EmOut on the fGront porch with a kerDosene laCmp

 See wEmhite-capped waGves rolling fiDve feet hCigh,

 but beEmgging these meGmories for anDother adCvance

 is like wEmhispering loGve to the DskCy

EmI have this piGcture of you taDking my hCand

EmSink to my knGees in the daDmp, dark sCand

EmTake off all your clGothes and we rDeach out in vCain

EmThe light goes oGut as it stDarts to rCain

AmSaint Cecilia seDnd me something simGple aDnd subClime

AmClose my eyes and dDouse my head with rGed respbDerry wCine

EmWinGd DriCses swiftly and the trees start to sway

To take back the delicate words that you said

Place me there in the sunrise of the strong new day

Cause the light here is failing these words are all dead

Just leave me my cherished ambiguity

I need it to sleep with, I need it to see

for all contradictions that I try to disguise

will rise up from my lungs - come to be baptised by
