[B]
[C#m]
[D#]
[A]
[B] Looting the destroyed vessels of the [C#m] sea
I wondered [D#] if the [A] waves had taken [A] all of me
All [B] of me back down to the [C#m] black
Down to where [D#] the worms reigned silent and [E] green, silent
[B]
[D#]
[A] We can do [F#] [B] some wrecking here
Till little color comes into [D#] your [A] face
We can do [B] some wrecking here
And [C#m] find something to love
In [D#] this broken place, this broken [A] place
[B] And the king is a [C#m] hand
Slaps you like a [D#] wave
Shackles you [E] down
Bound like an [B] anchor chain in the sand
Sends your ships to [C#m] the rocks
Sends the keys to the lock of [D#] the chain on your heart
To the mouth of the [A] serpent in his scaly glass shards
[B] He's holding all the cards and waiting in the waves
With [C#m] a poker face and no trail to trace, [A] no trail to trace
We can do
[B] some wrecking here
Till little [C#m] color comes into your [D#] face
[A] We can do [B] some wrecking here
And [C#m] find something to love
In [A] this broken place, [D#] this broken [A] place
[B]
[C#m]
[A] [G#]
We
[B]
[C#m] [A]
[B]
can [E]
[C#m] do
[A]
[B]
[C#m] some
[A] wrecking here
And find something to love
In this broken place, this broken place
