The Basement

	  		
Intro: C G Am G/A F 

Verse 
         C              G 
When the bodies, in the basement 
    Am        G/A            F 
Are lit by the light from the small, window 
        C                    G 
And its silent, safe for the grieving 
        Am            G/A           F 
And the winds, and the skin, and the warm 
    C             G 
And ohhh, all the wreckage 
   Am           G/A            F 
It lives, in the hands, as they fold 
              C                    G 
That’s when I noticed, that I’m in love with you 
    Am           G/A       F 
And not just the light from the room 

       F                     C 
It’s a maddening time, to be searching for love 
     G                             Am 
When everything is falling apart 
    F                      C 
And who knows what, we are capable of 
       G                     Am  
In the revenants harder than hearts
 

Verse 

     C          G 
Your dad, is in the doorway 
        Am     G/A       F 
And you put on such a show 
               C                      G 
That’s when he noticed, that you’re a woman 
  Am         G/A         F 
A not just a child anymore 

    F                     C 
It’s a maddening time, to be searching for love 
     G                             Am 
When everything is falling apart 
    F                      C 
And who knows what, we are capable of 
       G                     Am  
In the revenants harder than hearts
