_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
I was the first [Gm] match struck at [Eb] the first cremation
[Bb] You are my [Gm] shallow grave, I'll tend [Eb] you as [Bb] a sexton
If you're the [Gm] casket door that's being [Eb] slammed upon [Bb] me
I'll be your play [Gm] cross painted on [Eb] your naked _ [Bb] body
The summer's hot and summer's not hell
_ The engaged [Cm] rag trips the [Bb] holy [Gm] grail
Or maybe I'm sloppy but [Cm] I want him to [Bb] know
_ Cause you're the slack you put man _ on
We sit around and spit polish
All the witches [Cm] cackle round my [Gm] _ cauldron
Make a nice laugh [Cm] from my poker [Bb] tongue
_ Is it true they say you're near?
_ [Gm] _ While [Bb] most fathers [Eb] teased, you quite [Gm] believe
Some [Bb] threats of the [Eb] week, like I'll let [Gm] them up
Cause [Bb] I'm caught up, no [Eb] need to remind [Gm] me
Why death leaves [Bb] behind me
_ Why _ _ _ _ _ must I lie [Gm] awake from dusk [Eb] until the [Bb] morning
Through fear of [Gm] being impelled upon [Eb]
[Bb] a mattress frame
With an [Gm] awakened dream, I [Eb] finally make my guilt [Bb] turn
Live life [Gm] a stoop parade when you [Eb] were promised hell
[Bb] _ _ _ Propose me as a pot of sin
_ Then I'll [Dm] barbecue [Cm]
on an [Bb] _ [Gm] offering
I've read the book [Cm] of Job for the [Bb] Lord
And in one week of _ 2004
_ _ _ We barricade as a pilgrim
Clear the place for us in the _ [Gm] chicory
All the sin and blood [Cm] will dry in the [Bb] sun
_ [Gm] Is it [Bb] true they say you're [Eb] near?
While _ [Gm] _ most [Bb]
fathers [Eb] teased, you quite [Gm] believe
Some [Bb] threats of the week, like I'll [Gm] let them up
Cause [Bb] I'm caught up, no need to [Gm] remind me
Why death leaves [Bb] behind me
_ You _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Bb] _ take care [Gm] for me
You give [Eb] me what I need
[Bb] What death will [Gm] leave behind
What death [Eb] will leave behind
[Bb] We will [Gm] _ _ _ [Eb]
sacrifice [Bb] it
We will [Gm] sacrifice it
Is it true they say you're [Eb] near?
While most [Gm] fathers teased, _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] you quite [Gm] believe
Some [Bb] threats of the [Eb] week, like I'll let [Gm] them up
Cause [Bb] I'm caught up, no need to [Gm] remind me
Why death leaves [Bb] behind me
