Interlude 1
tied
(Gsus4) (G major)
Verse 2
I've (G major) been in love with Owen ever since
I heard (D major) (G major) the strains of Psalm
(E minor) (G major) 21
Standing between the choirs
As they sang, "Laudate Dominum,
Interlude 2
Laudate Dominum"
(G major)
Verse 3
(G major) Damn, I wrote it down
but I left it in the pocket of
my (D major) other (G major) (A minor) jeans
Scrawled (G major) across the foolscap
I don't know what your devotion (D major) means
I don't (G major) (A minor) know what your devotion means
Verse 4
And (A minor) (G major) up, upon the summit I can see
The (D major) one I (G major) worshipped (E minor) as a (G major) boy
The Creator, The Great White Noise
The Great White Noise (Gsus4)
(G major)
Interlude 3
(G minor)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (Gsus4)
Verse 5
(G major) Charged and charging up the ridge
(Gsus4) The chests (G major) are empty, the coffers too
They float in the flood, and so will you,
Interlude 4
I swear, so will you
(G minor) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(G minor)
Verse 6
"Your (E flat major) light is (C minor) spent! (E flat major) (C minor) Your
(E flat major) light is spent!" (G minor) I cried (F major)
(G minor) As I drove the iron spike into
(B flat major) Owen's eyes
The sun (C minor) sped cross the plains like
that (F major) cinematic moment where
Hu (G minor) manity and nature collide
(B flat major) (C minor) When you think,
(F major) "Everything's gonna be (G minor) all (B flat major) right"
Just before the (C minor) hero (F major) (G minor) gets a bullet
in his (B flat major) side
Interlude 5
(C minor) (F major) (G minor) (B flat major)
(D major) (G major)
Verse 7
Whizzing off the clifftop
Listening for the spatter,
thirty floors below (D major) (G major)
Down come the vultures
I will not be your fuel anymore
Verse 8
(G major) Now the (D major) author (G major) has been si (D major) lenced,
(G major) how will (D major) (G major) they ever decipher (A minor) me?
I (G major) hope they hear these
words and are convinced
(D major) You never (A minor) even knew me
Verse 9
I (A minor) (G major) draw a bruise on your
brawny shoulder
Scratch (D major) (G major) my fingers (E minor)
over your (G major) tattoos
