[Intro 1]
[G][D][Bm][Em][G][D][Bm]
[D][Bm][G][D][Bm][G][D][G][D][G][Bm]
[G][D][G][D][G][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
Well our [D]dogs get along,
[Bm]but [Em]have you notic[G]ed how easy[A]
Evil [Bm]dialogues of ours come
out [D]of wanting,
For so long, [Em]an easy l[G]aughter,
[A]to feel gui[Bm]lty for some
[D]Throw

[Verse 2]
[G]us in the ove[A]n
where the [G]angels fly,
[D]They still [G]need [Em]to e[G]at
She's clean, she [A]keeps a clean [G]house,
she can cook al[D]right,
But [G]I no longer have [Em]meat[G]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Em]
[G][A][Bm][D][Bm][D][Em][G][A][Bm]
In [D]the middle of the field

[Verse 3]
at the
height of the ec[Em]lipse,
When [G]all that we could [A]see
were [Bm]the fiery whips
Of that [D]hot- headed god,
hot- headed god and [Em]wild,
Per[G]petually [A]running from
his [Bm]wife and [D]child
[G]I was

[Verse 4]
[A]born in the [G]bottom of a boat,
Of [D]glass [G]between [Bb]the sea and [G]me
Upward [A]from the [G]floor they'd [D]float,
Bodies [G]from the [Bb]drown[Em]ing dream

[Interlude 2]
[G][D]
[G][A][G][D]
[G][A][G][D][Em][A]
[D][G][Em][D][G][Em][A][D][G][C][Bm]
[D][G][D][Bm][D]
[G][D][Bm]

[Verse 5]
[D]What do you make in the furnace
of [Em]your chest?
[G]The same as she [A]makes in the locket
of [Bm]her b[D]reast.
Here's where the buds in the coal- chocked [Em]tomb go hard,
[G][A][Bm]
Clear and deadly and [D]never ever bloom

[Verse 6]
[G]There were fifty- four [A]people in
the [G]back of a truck,
They were [D]only [G]sleeping
When we [A]come to [G]pick them up,
Safe within our [Bm]keeping[G]

[Verse 7]
[G]Sixty- [A]eight bullets for [G]my wife and I,
They will never be satisfied
Strength and [A]purpose [G]fringed by fire,
[D][G][Bm][G]
Fire I was [A]born in the [G]bottom of a boat,
[D]Of glass [G]between the sea and me
[A]Upward from [G]the floor [D]they'd float,
Bodies [G]from [Bb]the drown[A]ing [G]dream.
