Intro:
A A
clap, clap, clap

Verse 1:
A A E E
When the baby's born
A A E E
Oh, let's turn it to the snow
F#m F#m E E
So that ice will surely grow
F#m F#m E E
Over weak and brittle bones
A A E E
Oh, let's leave it to the wolves
A A E E
So their teeth turn it to food
F#m F#m E E
Oh, its flesh keeps them alive
F#m F#m E E
Oh, its death helps them survive
F#m F#m A A E E F#m F#m E E
Oh, the world can be kind in its own way


Verse 2:
A A E E
Oh well your future's a machine
A A E E
With the mechanics of a dream
F#m F#m E E
It is your mind that spins the wheel
F#m F#m E E
And your heart that makes you feel
A A E E
All the guilt for all your sins
A A E E
Oh and as that wheel spins
F#m F#m E E
Oh well it plays as they believed
F#m F#m E E
And for your husband you have grieved
F#m F#m A A E E F#m F#m E E
Oh the world still deceives you as it turns



D D A A
Well in my lucid moments I could see
F#m F#m E E
Oh that the heart might be the weakest part of me
D D A A
Oh and the moon controls the movements of the tide
F#m F#m E E
Oh but it has no weight on the movements of my mind


A A F#m F#m
But if you turn your hands into flames
A A F#m F#m
All their light will burn the same
A A F#m F#m
Whether you just pass it through
A A F#m F#m
or if it's what you want to do
D D A A
And your sense of culpability
D D A A
Is from the guides that you perceive
F#m F#m
Will show you grace
E E
Oh when you turn to a ghost

D D A A
Oh but now the love you found
D D A A
Is raising you from muddy ground
D D A A
And oh the death will let you down
F#m F#m
'Cause your curse
E E
Will go on the same

is there an easier way to play the E chord, it'd kindo of difficult to change so quickly although, i am starting to get the hang of it more, i can't help but to wonder if there is a better or an easier way

About this song: Jocasta

An emotion evoking song about the way the world finds its own way to be lovely and keep on going. Pain brings life out in the worst of situations. This song is not to be confused with the Marvel related robot named Jocasta.
