Stakes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
From [F]the [Am]lake
where I lost it [F]all
Stacked on [Am]the stakes yet
You blessed the [F]fall
I guess that I [Am]knew I was warned
I left my [G]words in the cold
The things that I [F]built for myself
Castles are [Am]tum bling down
Surrender the [G]heir, savour the crown
Here lies where [F]I drown

[Verse 2]
The [F]first time that I sought for grace
But not the [G]last lung I'd put to waste

[Verse 3]
I'm burning down [Am]the stakes[G]
[F]Wash away, wash away
I'm burning down [Am]the stakes[G]
[F]Wash away, wash away

[Verse 4]
Fum[Am]bling through this jaded book
The [G]hearts I stole, the air I took
What [F]love is [Am]this?
And now the photograph is all that's left
To [G]feed the wolves and empty chests
To [F]break the best

[Verse 5]
[F]The first time that I sought [G]for grace
[F]But not the las[G]t lung I'd put

[Interlude 1]
to waste
[G][Am][G][F]

[Verse 6]
I'm burning down [Am]the stakes[G]
Wash [F]away, wash away
I'm burning down [Am]the stakes[G]
[F]Wash away, wash away
I'm burning [G]down [Am]the stakes[G]
Wash away,
[F]wash awa[Am]y[G][F][Am][G]
I'm burning [F]down the
[Am]stakes[F][G]
[Am]Wash [F]away, wash away
[G]I

[Verse 7]
never [F]bled for a thousand lies
Just to stem the [G]flow
I [Am]never wept [F]over a thousand lives

[Outro 1]
Just to let this go
[G][F]
[G][F][G]
[F]
[G][F]
