Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]The door on the floor
to the [D]basement locked
Eye[Am]s wide shut, you see no[Em] one
Your [G]ceiling is the bars on [D]the floor
that someone else [C]walk[Em] s on
The [D]sigh in the night
is the last breath you breathe
before [Em]you close down
With my [D]heart and limbs,
I reach out for your soul's [Em]departure
But [D]there's nothing left here now,
you're gone to see your own [Em]rapture[C]
Gone [Em]again, [C]gone [Em]again
Only [D]crystals far [Dsus4]blowing i[D]n
the [Em]wind[D][Am][D][Em]
You're everything now, the [D]avatar
[Am]Both the coward and [Em]the martyr
And you [G]went away in [D]search
of the ever [Em]after
[D]Body band,
your host became your [Em]captor
Like a [D]new born Jesus
cradled in his [Em]manger
Like a [D]husband and a friend
and yet a [Em]stranger[C]
Gone [Em]again, [C]gone [Em]again,
[D]my love has [Dsus4]gone agai[D]n[Em]
Our lonely [D]questions are
blowing in the [Em]wind
[Dm]Ding dong, ding dong
[Am]Here's another day gone
[F]Here's another harvest
comes another year
[Dm]Ding dong, ding dong
[Am]Here's another life gone
[F]Here's another child gone
Daddy disappeared
[Dm]Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding
