Betrayal Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The blood of betraya[G]l is
on his [Em]hands[F][G][Am]
Faith slips through fin[G]gers like
desert [Em]sand[F][G][Am]
Hope pinned like a tin badge on
[G]an alibi [Em]or two[G][Am]
Brutal mercies, [G]tender traps
[Em]Charity, false or true
[Am][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
[G]A cast [Em]of tired net[C]s[G][F][Am]
The [Dm]ebb and [G]flow of tides
[C][G][F][Am]
[G]The moon's hook and cradle
[Em][G][F][G][Am]
[Dm]A string [G]of pretty lies
[Em][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]
[G]Are you [Am]laughing [G]now?[Em][F]
Or do you cry?
[Am]

[Verse 4]
I walk [G]away from these [C]scenes[G][Am]
Sad scenes
Rendez[C]vous [G]of Wat[C]ney's invention
[G]I t[Am]urn from th[G]ese
shadows [C]of doubt[G][F][Am]
Of artifice and searching
Of distance [G]and [Em]touch, [G]tou[F]ch[C][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
She returns to the gentle [Em]placebo
Of [Am]her 100 cigar[Em]ettes
[Am]Ties a knot in her [Em]memory
And [Am]remembers to for[Em]get
To forget
[Am]

[Verse 6]
These [C]hands are cold
Those [F]are not my gloves
That is not my face in the mir[G]ror
Death, is that you?
[C]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
The trains roll in[G],
the trains roll [C]out[G][Am]
Step on the cracks and
you're [G]a dead man
We won't hear your shout
[C][G][Am]
The blood of betrayal is [G]on your hands
[C]Bruised [G]love[F][G][Am]
Bruised love slip[G]ping like fingers
through the sand
[C][G]

[Verse 8]
[Am]
[G]Are you [Am]crying [G]now?[Em][G]
[F]Or do you laugh?
[Am]

[Verse 9]
She returns to the gentle [Em]placebo
Of [Am]her 100 cigar[Em]ettes
[Am]Ties a knot to her [Em]memory
And remem[Am]bers to for[Em]get
To for[Am]get
[Em][Am]

[Verse 10]
These [C]hands are cold
Those are [F]not my gloves
That is not my face in the mirror
[G]Death, is that you?
