Intro
C#m 
 
Verse 1
C#m 
The fragile keep secrets, gathered in pockets 
            G# 
And they'll sell them for nothing a cheap watch or locket 
     E                   C#m 
That kind of gold washes off 
        C#m 
And the sad act like lepers, they stick to the shadows 
    G# 
And long to ring bells of warning to tell of their coming 
            E                   C#m 
So that the pure can shut their doors 
        C#m 
And the angry are animals senseless and savage 
     G# 
They act without order in logical lapses 
      E                      C#m 
They stain their mouths with blood 
 
Chorus 1
   F#m                               C#m 
So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight 
   F#m                                 C#m 
The corn has grown stalks that form a wall too high 
            F#m                                   C#m 
But the wind carries sounds that I can't see from beyond that line 
          B     A        G# 
Then the stalks begin to sway 
   C#           B   A   G#                     C#m 
Oh stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away 
     A G# C#m 
Yeah! 
     A G# C#m 
 
Verse 2
       C#m 
Well the wicked are vultures, and they bake in the canyons 
       G# 
They circle in sunlight and wait for their victims 
    E                   C#m 
To collapse and call to them 
         C#m 
And the desperate are water. They will run down forever 
        G# 
As they soak into silence mend up together 
      E                                 C#m 
In a dark and distant, dark and distant place 
 
Chorus 2
         F#m                             C#m 
So don't leave me here with only mirrors watching me 
     F#m                             C#m 
This house it holds nothing but the memories 
        F#m                       C#m 
And the moon it leaves silver but never sleep 
             B      A        G# 
And then the silver turns to gray 
   C#           B  A   G#                      C#m 
Oh stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away
