Intro: G Gadd9/F# Cmaj7 Cmaj7/B (x2) 
  

G   Gadd9/F#   Cmaj7         Cmaj7/B 
    I put the groceries down on the front lawn 
G   Gadd9/F#            Cmaj7              Cmaj7/B 
    and think maybe the children just want recognition 
G   Gadd9/F#    Cmaj7          Cmaj7/B 
    I wrote the fairytale on a midnight drive 
G   Gadd9/F#   Cmaj7       Cmaj7/B 
    Wanting to know if I’m more than alive 
  
 
Em                A7                         C 
    I torched the fields again and killed an honest man 
          D          Daug 
    Now I understand Mother Nature 
  

G   Gadd9/F#   Cmaj7         Cmaj7/B 
    Watch me running head-first into the thorns 
G   Gadd9/F#      Cmaj7              Cmaj7/B 
    It’s like the lights are off but somebody’s home 
  

Em              Am 
    Unwrap that tourniquet ‘round the sun 
Em              Am                 C/B 
    Turn those subtle reds into neon 
C                  A7 
    You’ll see the difference when it’s done, 
          G               G/F# 
    But I understand your hesitation 
  

G   Gadd9/F#    Cmaj7             Cmaj7/B 
    Come take a walk with me down billionaire’s row 
G   Gadd9/F#  Cmaj7            Cmaj7/B 
    Trying to keep our balance over zero 
G   Gadd9/F#        Cmaj7            Cmaj7/B 
    We’ll write the fairytale for the rest of our lives 
G   Gadd9/F#     Cmaj7      Cmaj7/B 
    Throwing the trash away one more time 
  

Em          Am 
    Holding on to Love like a stone 
Em          Am                C/B 
    Melting down today for tomorrow’s 
C 
Covenant of the heart 
              A7 
You know it’s turbulent from the start 
      G               G/F# 
And I understand it’s not your nature 
  

Em  A7  G  D 
            But you need a friend 
C  A7  G  Bm 
            To take you home 
Em  A7  G  D 
            You’ve got to begin 
C  A7   G  Bm 
   Again 
  

C/G          G                G/F# 
     To open castle gates and let me go inside 
C/G                G               G/F# 
     and taste the bitter tea that won’t let you hide 
C/G              G            G/F# 
     Then we can take away as much as we can steal 
C/G                G              G/F# 
     Break all the precious bones before the guards appear 
C/G             G          G/F# 
     Before the fantasy is cast into the fire 
C/G                 G              G/F# 
     And strike the temple bell to resonate the 
  
 
C 
Covenant of the heart 
              A7 
You know what comes right after the dark, 
      G               G/F# 
But I understand your hesitation
