Gm                          Cm
Close your eyes and you draw one more day to a close
    Dm
You choose to be alone
    Cm                            Gm
You float through your life as a ghost
    Gm
And everything heals given time
    Cm
And everything dies given time
        Dm                   Cm                          Gm
And the scars run together, mixing the nerves with the blood
        Cm                                            Gm
And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down
     Cm                                         Gm
And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground
          Dm
When your heart's deep and dark as a well
    Cm                                          Gm
And everything that's golden and green goes to hell

  Gm      Dm       F        Cm  Dm  Cm  Gm

          Gm
And I was born to wind in the cradle
      Cm
And I ride on the hot southern breeze
      Gm                          Cm
and I twist in the green and the gold
                         Dm           Cm         Gm
and you see and there is blood on my elbows and knees
    Gm
And people want to grow old in the cradle
             Cm
When there's snakes all around in the reeds
        Dm                    Cm
And you ask me to fear of no evil
          Dm          Cm      Gm
When your fire's all over my feet
        Cm                                            Gm
And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down
    Cm                                         Gm
And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground
          Dm
When your heart's deep and dark as a well
    Cm                                           Gm
And everything that's golden and green goes to hell




       Gm
I said bring out your Vivian girls
Cm
Bring out your cloud-covered girls
    Dm                      Cm
and bring me a cup of your tears
    Dm           Cm            Gm
and give me the rest of your years
        Gm
Because everything dies, given time
      Cm
And I know that this world could be mine
     Dm                         Cm
So I closed both my eyes and I count my heartbeats
      Dm            Cm           Gm
and I know that my wings are on fire
        Cm                                            Gm
And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down
    Cm                                         Gm
And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground
          Dm
When your heart's deep and dark as a well
    Cm                                              Gm
And everything that's golden and green goes to hell
