Intro: Eb   F   Gm   F

Verse 1:
    Eb
She bargains with the world
   F              Gm                 F
So everything she wants will come to her
        Eb
With no greed inside her mind
    F              Gm            F
She knows what she deserves
   Eb
We fell from sky with grace
    F               Gm            F
And lathered in her soft and warm embrace
    Eb
She gave her love, her gift of life
   F                  Gm
So we could live with her

Chorus:
               F         Eb
That is why we live like heathens
                  F        Gm
Stealing from the trees of Eden
               F      Eb
Living in the arms of freedom
                  F        Gm
And everything we touch is evil
F               D        Eb        F   Gm
That is why we live like heathens

Verse 2:
     Eb
The stone, the dirt, the dust
    F           Gm
The unforgiving promise made to us
  F              Eb
Unworthy of your light, your god, your touch
       F            Gm
We’re guided by the lust
   Eb
We cry the fallen names
   F                 Gm                F
We cry for those who burn beneath the flame
         Eb
We stand beside the good and brave
    F            Gm
The broken and enslaved

Chorus:
               F         Eb
That is why we live like heathens
                  F        Gm
Stealing from the trees of Eden
               F      Eb
Living in the arms of freedom
                  F        Gm
And everything we touch is evil
F               D        Eb
That is why we live like heathens

Interlude: F   Gm   F   Eb   F   Gm   F

Bridge:
Gm             Dm    Ebm    F
Everything you touch will be hurt
     Gm            Dm    Ebm   F       Gm    F   Dm   Eb
Some other with no heart will give love
                 Gm                 F        Dm       Eb
Her love is yours, but only if you give your heart to her

Interlude: Gm  Eb  F  Gm

Chorus:
               F         Eb
That is why we live like heathens
                  F        Gm
Stealing from the trees of Eden
              F       Eb
Living in the arms of freedom
                  F        Gm
And everything we touch is evil
F              D         Eb        F    Gm
That is why we live like heathens
F              D         Eb        F    Gm
That is why we live like heathens
F              D         Eb
That is why we live like heathens
