[Verse 1]
Bm A
How's one to know?
G Em7 Bm
I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones
G D A
In a faith forgotten land
Bm A
In from the snow
G Em7 Bm
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
G D A
Tarnished but so grand
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A G
And the old widow goes to the stone every day
Em Bm
But I don't, I just sit here and wait
G A
Grieving for the living
[Chorus]
D Bm
Oh, goddamn
A G D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Bm Asus4 A
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
D Bm
Oh, I can't
A G D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Bm A
My house of stone, your ivy grows
A Bm A G G Em7 Em7 Asus4 A
And now I'm covered in you
[Verse 2]
Bm A
I wish to know
G Em7 Bm
The fatal flaw that makes you long to be
G D A
Magnificently cursed
Bm A
He's in the room
G Em7 Bm
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
G D A
He wants what's only yours
[Chorus]
D Bm
Oh, goddamn
A G D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Bm Asus4 A
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

Oh, I can't

Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Bm Asus4
My house of stone, your ivy grows
A
And now I'm covered
[Bridge 1]
Em7 F#m
Clover blooms in the fields
G A Bm
Spring breaks loose, the time is near
D/C# D
What would he do if he found us out?
Em7 F#m
Crescent moon, coast is clear
G A Bm
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear
D/C# D
He's gonna burn this house to the ground
[Verse 3]
Bm A
How's one to know?
G Em7 Bm
I'd live and die for moments that we stole
G D A
On begged and borrowed time
Bm A
So tell me to run
G Em7 Bm
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become
G D A
And drink my husband's wine
[Chorus]
D Bm
Oh, goddamn
A G D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Bm Asus4 A
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

Oh, I can't
A G D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Bm Asus4
My house of stone, your ivy grows
A D Bm A
And now I'm covered in you
G D Bm Asus4 A
And I'm covered in you
[Bridge 2]

So yeah, it's a fire
G A
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark

And you started it

You started it

So yeah, it's a war

It's the goddamn fight of my life
D
And you started it
G A
You started it
[Chorus]
Bm D/C#
Oh, I can't

Stop you putting roots in my dreamland

My house of stone, your ivy grows

In you
