[Intro]
[Verse]
Bm           A 
How's one to know? 
G                       Em7              Bm 
I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones 
     G           D        A 
In a faith forgotten land 
Bm           A 
In from the snow 
G                           Em7          Bm 
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow 
G               D    A 
Tarnished but so grand
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                  A                G 
And the old widow goes to the stone every day 
      Em                Bm 
But I don't, I just sit here and wait 
G                A 
Grieving for the living
[Chorus]
  D   Bm 
Oh, goddamn 
   A                 G                    D 
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand 
Bm               Asus4                  A 
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another 
  D    Bm 
Oh, I can't 
A                G                  D 
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland 
   Bm                   A 
My house of stone, your ivy grows 
       A            Bm   A G G   Em7 Em7 Asus4 A 
And now I'm covered in you
[Verse]
Bm        A 
I wish to know 
G                   Em7               Bm 
The fatal flaw that makes you long to be 
    G          D    A 
Magnificently cursed 
Bm           A 
He's in the room 
     G             Em7           Bm 
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see 
     G            D    A 
He wants what's only yours
[Chorus]
  D    Bm 
Oh, goddamn 
   A                 G                    D 
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand 
Bm               Asus4              A 
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another 
D     Bm 
Oh, I can't 
A                G                  D 
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland 
   Bm                   Asus4 
My house of stone, your ivy grows 
    A 
And now I'm covered
[Bridge]
Em7           F#m 
Clover blooms in the fields 
G                        A           Bm 
Spring breaks loose, the time is near 
              D/C#              D 
What would he do if he found us out? 
Em7            F#m 
Crescent moon, coast is clear 
G                        A           Bm 
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear 
           D/C#              D 
He's gonna burn this house to the ground
[Verse]
Bm           A 
How's one to know? 
G                    Em7             Bm 
I'd live and die for moments that we stole 
    G                 D    A 
On begged and borrowed time 
Bm            A 
So tell me to run 
G                   Em7               Bm 
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become 
    G                D     A 
And drink my husband's wine
[Chorus]
  D    Bm 
Oh, goddamn 
   A                 G                    D 
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand 
Bm               Asus4                  A 
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another 
  D    Bm 
Oh, I can't 
A                G                  D 
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland 
   Bm                   Asus4 
My house of stone, your ivy grows 
     A          D      Bm   A 
And now I'm covered in you 
    G           D   Bm  Asus4  A 
And I'm covered in you
[Bridge]
   D 
So yeah, it's a fire 
       G                   A 
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark 
            D 
And you started it 
            G  A 
You started it 
   Bm 
So yeah, it's a war 
         G                   A 
It's the goddamn fight of my life 
            D 
And you started it 
            G  A 
You started it
[Chorus]
 Bm   D/C# 
Oh, I can't 
D                Em7               Bm 
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland 
    A                   D 
My house of stone, your ivy grows 
                    D 
And now I'm covered 
     Bm Asus4 A 
In you 
D    Bm Asus4 A   D Bm Asus4 A 
In you 
                D    Bm Asus4 A 
Now I'm covered in you 
    D Bm Asus4 A   D Bm Asus4 A  D 
In you
