Ivy

	  		Bm 
How's one to know? 
    G                  Em               Bm 
I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones 
     G               D     B 
In a faith forgotten land 
Bm 
In from the snow 
     G                      Em           Bm 
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow 
G             D        A 
Tarnished but so grand 

        Bm                          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 D 
Grieving for the living 

    Bm 
Oh, goddamn 
   A                G                     D 
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand 
Bm               A4              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 
            Bm           G  Em  Bm  G  A 
And now I'm covered in you 

Bm 
I wish to know 
    G               E                 Bm 
The fatal flaw that makes you long to be 
   G             D 
Magnificently cursed 
Bm          A 
He's in the room 
     G             E             D 
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see 
   G              A 
He wants what's only yours 

    Bm 
Oh, goddamn 
   A                G                     D 
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand 
Bm               A4              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 
            Bm 
And now I'm covered 

Em             Bm    D 
Clover blooms in the fields 
G                        A           Bm 
Spring breaks loose, the time is near 
              A                D 
What would he do if he found us out? 
Em             Bm 
Crescent moon, coast is clear 
G                        A            Bm 
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear 
           A               D 
He's gonna burn this house to the ground 

Bm 
How's one to know? 
    G                  Em            Bm 
I'd live and die for moments that we stole 
   G              A 
On begged and borrowed time 
   Bm 
So tell me to run 
   G               E                 Bm 
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become 
    G                  D 
And drink my husband's wine 

    Bm 
Oh, goddamn 
   A                G                     D 
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand 
Bm               A4              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 
            D           Bm  A4 A 
And now I'm covered in you 
    G       D     G A4 
And I'm covered 

   D 
So yeah, it's a fire 
       G                   A4 
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark 
        D 
And you started it 
            G  A4 
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  A4 
You started it 

      Bm 
Oh, I can't 
A                Em           Bm 
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland 
   A                    D 
My house of stone, your ivy grows 
    D 
And now I'm covered 
   Bm  A G       D  Bm D A   D G A 
In you,       in you 
G                  D    G A4 A 
Now I'm covered in you 
   D    G A4  A  G D Bm A4 A D 
In you
