The Shine Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
It [G]was
exponential Memphis from a thousand feet
When we [Em]landed we
were black and blue
[G]Running through the city
with apocalypse eyes
Just miles [C]of streets with
nothing [D]to do
Your [G]warm heart had been frozen
by some cold ideas
You tried [Em]to tell me but it
came out wrong
[G]I changed my strings,
shaved my face and
Locked [C]myself into the tower [D]of song
It gets [C]lonely in the tower [D]of song

[Verse 2]
But [Em]I don't st[C]utter
when I [G]sing[D][Em]
My melod[C]ies grow little
wing[G]s[D][Em]
Huddled [C]here grinding tears
[G]into red win[D]e[Em]
Meet the [C]darkness with the shine
[G]

[Verse 3]
We've got all our sons and daughters
virgin blood on our hands
They'll be the [Em]offspring
of these ugly wars
But [C]if [G]we kill off all our devils,
will our angels die?
I found [C]love living life like a [D]whore
So [G]here's some trusty
chords and a melody
[Em]A pound of flesh for the brutal throng
[C]For the her[G]etics and walking
dead and red headed girls
From [C]the fool up in the tower [D]of song
I'm [C]a fool in a tower [D]of song
Make [C]the lonely fool smile,
sing along
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Em]
Cause we don't [C]stutter when
we [G]sing[D][Em]
Our melod[C]ies grow little
[G]wings[D][Em]
Huddled [C]here grinding [G]tears into red
[D]wine[Em][G][C][G]
[D][Em]
Meet the [C]darkness with the shine
