Innocence Maintained Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Oph[Bm]elia[C][Am][Bm][C]
[D]
drowned in the water
Crushed by her own weight
[C]Hitler loved little blue-eyed boys
boys
And it drove him to hate
[D]Birds always grow silent before
the night descends
Cause [C]nature has a funny way
of breaking what does [G]not bend

[Verse 2]
A [D]hero's torso built of steel and Novocain
His [C]heart a bitter beat inside
a bloodless frame
There [D]was a hole inside his soul
a manicure could not fill
So he [C]found himself a whore to love
While daisies choked in the [G]window sill

[Verse 3]
We've [Am]made houses for [C]hatred
[G]It's time we made a place
[Am]Where people's [C]souls may
be [G]seen and made safe
[D]Be careful wit[C]h each oth[G]er
These fragile flames
For [Am]innocence can[G]'t be [C]lost
[D]It just needs to [C]be main
[Em]tained
[Am][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[D]A small town in Ohio
Two boys are filled with violence
And [C]darkness spreads its legs
for hate and ignorance
[D]We are given to a god to
put our faith therein
[C]But to be forgiven,
we must first believe [G]in sin
We've [Am]made houses for [C]hatred
It's [G]time we made a place
[Am]Where people's [C]souls may
be [G]seen and made safe
[D]Be careful wit[C]h each oth[G]er
These fragile flames
For [Am]innocence [G]can't be [C]lost
It just [D]needs to [C]be main
[Em]tained

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

[Verse 5]
[G]I[D][Em][Am][G][C]
[D]want to live
bravely and love without fear
I want [C]always to feel the
wings of grace near
We [D]all will be Christed when
we hear ourselves say
[C]We are that to which [G]we pray

[Verse 6]
[Am]We've made houses [C]for hatred
It's [G]time we made a place
[Am]Where people's [C]souls may
[G]be seen and made safe
[D]Be careful wit[C]h each oth[G]er
These fragile flames
We've [Am]built houses for [C]hatred
It's [G]time we made a place
[Am]Where people's [C]souls may
[G]be seen and made safe

[Verse 7]
[D]Be careful wit[C]h each oth[G]er
These fragile flames
For [Am]innocence can[G]'t be [C]lost
