Intro: A7sus4 Verse 1: A7sus4 Em7 Like carillon bells, the house of Augustus rings Cadd9 G A7sus4 With the echoing hymn of my fellow passerine, they took to it Em7 Like a fox to a burrow, like an eagle to an aerie Cadd9 G And my god, it's getting hard to even hum a single thing Chorus: Cmaj7 Bm#5 You were the song that I'd always sing Em G You were the light that the fire would bring Cmaj7 Bm#5 But I can't shake this feeling that I was only Em G Pushing the spear into your side again Interlude -x2-: A7sus4 Cadd9 Verse 2: A7sus4 Em7 See, my birds of a kind, they more and more are looking like Cadd9 G Centurions than any little messiah A7sus4 Em7 And as I prune my feathers like leaves from a vine Cadd9 G I find that we have fewer and fewer in kind, but Verse 3: A7sus4 Em7 My palms and fingers still reek of gasoline Cadd9 G From throwing fuel to the fire of that Greco-Roman dream A7sus4 Em7 Purifying the holy rock to melt the gilded seams Cadd9 G It don't bring me relief, no it don't bring me nothing that Chorus: Cadd9 Bm#5 You were the song that I'd always sing Em7 G You were the light that the fire would bring Cadd9 Bm#5 But I can't shake this feeling that I was only Em7 Pushing the spear into your side again nc And again and again Interlude -x2-: A7sus4 Cadd9 Bridge: A7sus4 When he comes a-knocking at my door Cadd9 What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord A7sus4 When the cold wind rolls in from the north Cadd9 What am I to do, What am I to do, oh lord A7sus4 When he comes a-knocking at my door Cadd9 What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord A7sus4 When the cold wind rolls in from the north Cadd9 What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord A7sus4 When he comes a-knocking at my door Cadd9 What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord A7sus4 When the cold wind rolls in from the north Cadd9 What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord
