[Verse 1]
[Am]Semi- precious
[C]stone for Cas[Am]sandra[G]

But I am standing on a pile of diamond[C]s
That I would like to sub[G]mit
[Em]For your t[Dm]otem p[Am]oles
[Em][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Am]For every time we hate[C]d the police
[Am]Or h[G]ad t[Dm]o get out of the city[F]
to get [Dm]free[Em][Dm]
[Am]A semi- precious stone,
[C]semi- precious [Am]stone[G]
[Dm]For every thumb we ran along[F] the creas[Dm]e
I am standing on a pile of diamond[C]s
That i would like to sub[G]mit

[Em][Dm][Am]

[Verse 3]
And [Am]lover, it was so [C]windy
[G]The night was filled with
furious [Am]trees
The streets were strewn
with broken [C]branches
Oh, save [G]me from this conspiring breeze
[Am]

[Verse 4]
This is the sound
This is [C]the sound
This is [G]the sound
[Dm]This is the [Am]sound
[Dm]This is [Am]the sound
This is [C]the sound
Of the [G]sky foam[Dm]ing at the [Am]mouth

[Am][Dm][Am]
[C][G][Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am][C][G][Dm][Am]
[Dm]This is the sound

[Verse 5]
[Am]that I choose to make,
now
This is [C]the sound that I choose
to [G]make
Surrounded with tools and
No [Dm]longer [Am]suitable for carving faces
Swinging down
Through the air
Like [C]a branch
Through the air
Until my [G]basic human bones
[Dm]Are like a hamme[Am]r
Like a hammer on a semi- precious stone

[Verse 6]
This is the [Am]sound
This is the [C]sound
This is the [G]sound
[Dm]This is the soun[Am]d
[Dm]This is the soun[Am]d
This is the [C]sound
Of the [G]sky foam[Dm]ing at [Am]the mouth

[Em]So

[Verse 7]
[C]hey, you can keep Cas[Am]sandra[F]
And you can keep [G]your [C]kiss
You should save [Am]your energy
For [F]the new apocalypse

[Outro 1]
[G][Am]
