[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Em][C][Em][C][Em]

[Verse 1]
[C][[Em]
Af[C]ter all the birds are gone
They've [Em]taken all their little crumbs
They [C]fly away to other prey
[Em]Leave us here to while
away the [C]hours
Creeping slowly, softly
[Em]Through the houses of the holy
Mean[C]while those years roll by
[Em]There's no other[C] way
[Em]To get your mind[C] at bay
[Em]There's no other w[Dm]ay
We know
[G]Lock the door
[Em]Before you go
[Am]Now it's time [Dm]to take your turn,
[G]let the home fires bur[C]n[Em][C][Em]
Ra[C]ging wine and silver lace,
[Em]you powder up your pretty face
Scar[C]let shadow on your brow
To [Em]an other place we'll get someho[G]w
We [C]travel distance over time
[Em]Hark beneath the washing line
Do[C]mestic household
waiting for [Em]a while
There's no [C]other [Em]way
To get your [C]mind to pay
[Em]There's no oth[Dm]er way,
[G]window,
lock the [Em]door before you go
[Am]Now it's t[Dm]ime to take your t[G]urn,
let the whole fire [Am]burn[C]
[Edim]Now it's[C] time to[C#dim] take yo[Dm]ur turn
[G]Let the bonfires bur[C]n[Em]
[C][Em][G][C][Em][C]
[Em]But there's no o[C]ther way
[Em]To get your mi[C]nd to pay
[Em]There's no [G]oth[C] er way
[Em]To get your mi[G]nd t[C]o pay
[Em]There's [G]no other [C]way
[Em]to g[G]et your mi[C]nd to be
[Em]There's no other w[C]ay
[G]to [Em]get your mind[C] to be
[Em]Please get your mind [C]away
[Em]Please get your [C]mind away
[Em]
