Intro: Em Bm C Am Em Verse: Em Bm Under that burning ether that falls C G down on these walls burning my arms D Em I've been alarmed of what is said by you Bm For every word I could undo C G I've been uncrossed and I've been untrue D Em I've been the thorn I've been the heart Chorus: Em The heart of my own burn it down low C the light in your verse G and the shadow between D Em the way that I was when I used to know if I go what do I hold C G For the maid or the mother I'll be D Em If only the loom and a thread were whole C G It is work to be dancing out here D Em Tomorrow I'm mending the empty bones C G There are roses that come without seeking D Em They are the ones that I have to sow C G In your verses that I am repeating D Em The way that I was when I used to know Instrumental: Em Bm C Am Em Em Bm C G D Em Bm C G D Em Breakdown: C D G Em I wrote on these walls a simple charm Am C To keep the wolves at bay D G Em Gave of a heart the strength of my arms Am C To hold you close and safe D G Em But I kept my eyes closed and I'll never know Am C Where the shadows are these days D G Em I stood in the room of a house divided Am Ah and it washed away from me C It washed away from me Am Oh and it washed away from me C It washed away... Chorus: Em ...to take my own burn it down low C the light in your verse G and the shadow between D Em the way that I was when I used to know if I go what do I hold C G For the maid or the mother I'll be D Em If only the loom and a thread were whole C G It is work to be dancing out here D Em Tomorrow I'm mending the empty bones C G There are roses that come without seeking D Em They are the ones that I have to sow C G In your verses that I am repeating D Em The way that I was when I used to know Outro: Em Bm C Am Em
