Intro
[Gsus4] [Dsus4] [Gsus4] [Dsus4]
Verse 1
[Gsus4]Love [Dsus4] was a [Gsus4]promise [Dsus4]made of smoke
[Gsus4] In[Dsus4] a [Gsus4]frozen [Dsus4]copse of trees
[Gsus4]A bone[Dsus4] cold and [Gsus4]older than[Dsus4] our bodies
[Gsus4] [Dsus4]Slowly [Gsus4]floating in[Dsus4] the sea
Every [Gsus4]morning there[Dsus4] were planes[Gsus4]
The [Dsus4]shiny blades[Gsus4] of [Dsus4]pagan [Gsus4]angels in our [Dsus4]father's skies
Every [Gsus4]evening I[Dsus4] would watch[Gsus4] her hold the [Dsus4]pillow
[Gsus4]Tight [Dsus4]against her [Gsus4]hollows, her [Dsus4]unholy child
I was [Gsus4]still a [Dsus4]beggar shaking[Gsus4] out my [Dsus4]stolen coat
[Gsus4] Among[Dsus4] the angry[Gsus4] [Dsus4]cemetery leaves
When they [Gsus4]caught the [Dsus4]king beneath[Gsus4] the borrowed [Dsus4]car
[Gsus4]Righteous, [Dsus4]drunk, and [Gsus4]fumbling for the [Dsus4]royal keys
Instrumental

Verse 2
[Gsus4]Love [Dsus4] was a [Gsus4]father's [Dsus4]flag and [Gsus4]sung like a [Dsus4]shank
In a [Gsus4]cake on our[Dsus4] leather boots
[Gsus4]A [Dsus4]beautiful [Gsus4]feather [Dsus4]floating down
[Gsus4] To where the [Dsus4]birds had [Gsus4]shit on empty[Dsus4] chapel pews
Every [Gsus4]morning we[Dsus4] found one[Gsus4] more [Dsus4]machine
To [Gsus4]mock our [Dsus4]ever waning [Gsus4]patience at[Dsus4] the well
Every [Gsus4]evening she'd[Dsus4] descend[Gsus4] the mountain [Dsus4]stealing [Gsus4]socks
And [Dsus4]singing something [Gsus4]good where all[Dsus4] the horses fell
Like a [Gsus4]snake within[Dsus4] the [Gsus4]wilted garden [Dsus4]wall
I'd [Gsus4]hint to [Dsus4]her every [Gsus4][Dsus4]possibility
While with his [Gsus4]gun the [Dsus4]pagan [Gsus4]angel rose to [Dsus4]say
"My [Gsus4]love is one [Dsus4]made to [Gsus4]break every [Dsus4]bended knee"
