Intro: Am C G F

        Am
There's blood in the water
        C
There's blood in the water
    G                       F
The quiet are restless, the silent are still


    Am
I'm nobody's daughter
    C        F
I'm nobody's daughter
   G                    Am                 -nc-
My enemies crawl, we're alone with the kill


   F
If mercy's abound
        C
I'll be safe, I'll be sound
        Am                       G
And the devil won't know all the love I just couldn't let go
F
I won't pretend
   C
My season won't end
      Am
But I pray
                          G                                         Am
When it's done, when it's through, I'll have something left for you

Interlude: Am C G F

    Am
The noble are weary
    C
The noble are weary
     G                         F
This cradle still burns like a hole in my chest


    Am
Can anyone hear me?
    C
Can anyone hear me?
    G                         Am               -nc-
The crooked are smiling, they know me the best


   F
If mercy's abound
        C
I'll be safe, I'll be sound
        Am                       G
And the devil won't know all the love I just couldn't let go
F
I won't pretend
   C
My season won't end
      Am
But I pray
                          G                                         F
When it's done, when it's through, I'll have something left for you

If mercy's abound

I'll be safe, I'll be sound
                                                      G   G
And the devil won't know all the love I just couldn't let go
F
I won't pretend
   C
My season won't end
      Am
But I pray
                          G                                         Am -nc-
When it's done, when it's through, I'll have something left for you

Biography

Destiny itself assembled the Crane Wives, and now they seek only to make music worthy of destiny. That, and act as silly as humanly possible.

“The Crane Wife is an old Japanese tale. While there are many variations of the tale, a common version is that a poor man finds an injured crane on his doorstep (or outside with an arrow in it), takes it in and nurses it back to health. After he releases the crane, a woman appears at his doorstep with whom he falls in love and marries.
