epitaph Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm blind and afraid
The colors of [C]this sound like a shape
The feast of words you
[G]never could say
And I'm [C]torn apart
In [G]the sun, there is red
The epitaph of [C]an old record
player
The sweetness in [G]the salt of her hair
And there's no de[C]cision

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C]
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
I knew [G]a girl once
There were splinters from [C]her thoughts
Unless you knew [G]a god
With kindness in [C]her heart
You're [G]a dark one
With a knack for pushing
[C]boys off a cliff
And the messy eyes of [G]ink-splattered fits
fits
And it's all found in a page
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]I need nothing more than my problems
Just let me know when
you've found [C]them
[G]You've got mirth and
I've got snow hands
Eyes fell and haven't come up since
[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]Mary[Bm][G][Bm][G]
[Bm]Dare me, scare [C]me
Oh [G]Mary
[C]

[Verse 5]
[C]I k[Em]now a place out beyo[C]nd these p[G]ines
Where [D]the sky falls [C]down
[Em]with the cumu[C]lus cries
[G]A winter song for a Jan[Bm]uary [D]type
I [G]could tame my [Bm]heart
[G]I could b[C]lind my eyes
The [G]river is an organ
And [D]the meadow is a church
For [G]a strange inclination
That [C]fortune is a curse
I'm [G]a cryptic [D]writer
I'm an ignorant fool
I'm [G]a poor excuse for poetry
[C]Trying to play it cool
I'm just trying [Cm]to play it cool

[Verse 6]
[C]I need nothing more t[G]han my problems
Just let me know when you've
found [C]them
You've got [G]tact and I've got bravado
I'm a ghost and you are a [C]shadow

[Verse 7]
[G]I need nothing more than my problems
Just let me know when
you've found [C]them
[G]You've got mirth and
I've got snow hands
Eyes fell and haven't come up since
[C]

[Verse 8]
[G]Mary
[Bm]Dare me, scare [C]me
Oh [G]Mary

[Outro 1]
[G][C]
