Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Love was a promise made of smoke
In a frozen copse of trees
A bone cold and older
[G]than our bodies[D]
Slowly floating in the sea
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
Every morn[C]ing there were planes
The shiny [G]blades [C]of pagan angels
in our father's [D]sky
Every [C]evening I would watch
her hold the pillow
Tight against her hollows, her un[D]holy child

[Verse 3]
[D]
I was [C]still a beggar shaking
out my [G]stolen [C]coat
Among the angry [D]cemetery leaves
When they [C]caught the king beneath
the borrowed car
Righteous,
drunk and fumbling for the roy[D]al keys

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

[Verse 4]
[D]Love
was a [G]father's [D]flag and sung like a shank
In a cake on our leather boots
A beautiful feather floating down
To where the birds had shit

[Verse 5]
on empty chapel pews
[D]
Every [C]morning we found one more machine
To mock our ever waning
patience at the [D]well
Every [C]evening she'd descend
the mountain stealing socks
And singing something good
where all the [D]horses fell

[Verse 6]
[D]
Like [C]a snake within the wilted garden wall
I'd hint to her every pos[D]sibility
While with his [C]gun the pagan
angel rose to say
My love is one made to [D]break
every [C]bended [D]knee

[Outro 1]
[D]
