[Intro 1]
[G][Em]

[Verse 1]
[C]Who wrote those
[B]lines on [C]the [Am]wall?[Em]
Let's re[G]trace [F#m]where they scrawled
[Em]ancient characte[D]rs.[Em]
[C]It's 2:00, and your sis
[B]ter's slip [A]falls,
[Am]And the afte[G]rnoon [C]crawls
[Em]across the room and [D]tackles her.
I don't think [Em]that you [C]would sink that ship
[B]that's only passing [Am]through,
'Cause [G]I don't believe that
[Em]you might be a m[D]urderess.
But [Em]I saw inside each [C]small,
dark eye, [B]as it was turning [Am]blue,
All [G]the strength [Bm]inside [G]to [Em]do just what
the [D]captain says and hang the [Em]rest.

[Verse 2]
[C]Moved by the [B]rhyme in the psalm,
[A]we [Em]agree[Am]d th[Em]at i[G]t was wrong,[D][G][Em]
And to believe [D]in [Em]it.[D][Em]
Ooo[C]h!, swooned the [B]wall [A]all night long.
[Am]But a li[G]e's a lie,
[B]no [G]mat[Em]ter what guy's bre[D]ath's in [Em]it.[C][D]
I don't [Em]know that I would [C]go that
far down [B]some dark avenue,
[Am]With a whisperin[G]g crew[D] of
[Em]shadows all [D]protecting it.
But [Em]I saw inside each [C]small white lie,
as [B]it was [Bm]turning [Am]true,
The [C]abil[Am]ity [B]to d[Em]o all
things expec[D]ted of it.

[Verse 3]
[D]Time will[Em][C][Bm][A][Am][G][Bm][G][Em][D]
[Em]sink that,
you will [C]sink that ship
That's [B]already passing [Am]through
'Cause I [C]don't [G]believe [D]tha[Em]t you
might be [D]a p[Am]irat[D]ess
Did you [Em]hide inside each [C]small white lie
Be[Baug]fore you turned it[A] true[Am]
[G]You [F#m]don't seem [Em]to do
all things the cap[D]tain says

[Verse 4]
Oh, [Em]murderess, in the wil[C]derness.
With your [B]victims all around [A]you.
Their [G]combined love [F#m]forms a [Em]pool
your knife's re[D]flected in,
Now I'm [Em]ready, too, with my [C]throat to you.
On this moun[B]tain.
By [A]this moon.
What I [G]want [F#sus4]the most to do[Em]
is prove [D]that I'm not like them.
