Neon Cathedral (feat. Allen Stone) Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ One, [Am] two.
Now, around here, this ain't broken [C#m] hymns.
The prayers [G] flow better when [Em] they're soaked in gin.
The amp's dusty and sits in the corner by a bartender that'll pickpocket your heart
in a jukebox that'll steal your [Am] quarter.
Bartender, please give me a [E] confession.
Exchange fear [G] for courage in [Em] the form of a well drink.
There's a heavy current, got a long way to [D] swim.
Closed the Bible a while ago, I need some [Em] shots for this sin.
[Am] Hail Mary, God bless you.
Come with me, be like Pac when it hits.
[A] Got some fire in my belly and a ride in [Em] the gut.
Bushmills for a [G] band-aid, the sweet taste of [D] blood.
And I might actually feel something if I don't cover [Am] it up.
Rusted faces, [A] familiar places.
Even if they haven't left the vinyl booth, if they [Em] stay in a motel next door.
A sign that reads vacant.
And a truth that's so strong I'd be a fool not to chase it.
[Am] But yeah, I'm a fool and I stay hidden.
Hope these problems drown themselves.
I die and wait here.
One more, [A] four more.
Get a nightcap so it starts [E] at five tomorrow and I'll be right back.
_ _ [Am] _ _ Underneath [C] this fragile frame
_ lives [D] a battle [Em] between pride and shame.
But [D] I've misplaced [C] that sense of right.
This [D] crown of thorns is [Em] perched atop my _ [D] spine.
Listen closely [C] as I testify.
_ _ _ [D] Tendency [Em] has been a thief at night.
[D] Thief at night.
[C] Thief at night.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G]
I read the Bible, but I forgot [D] the verses.
The liquor store is open later than the [Em] churches.
Purified by imperfections.
Everything that's [D] burning.
To hell with the confessions.
All the Lord [G] and mercies.
Less than holy water.
The scent of Holy [D] Father.
Have you ever smelled flesh that sweats out [Em] monoflaca?
Eleven AM in the morning and you can't get [D] it off ya.
Calling to the preacher, but it's like the pastor isn't [G] talking.
Until the store opens I can re-up on that [D] doctrine.
The people close to me say that I'm in need of a [Em] doctor.
Think that I got a problem, but these are not [D] apostles.
This is the drink of the Lord.
That's [F#] according to my [G] gospel.
Open to interpretation.
If you're judging, I don't [Bm] want it.
I got sins that scald [D] like my throat when I hit the [Em] bottle.
And I'm sinking.
And that's why I keep on [D] drinking.
I need a refill.
Far more than once every [G] week.
Sweet Jesus, I'm getting [D] amnesia.
Shake until I get a taste.
My faith is having [Em] seizures.
Every time I walk away and try to [D] leave him.
Every time I walk away and try to [G] leave him.
Wouldn't miss it, but the [D] world baptized in my vices.
And the bar is my [Em] church.
Traded my artist and I pawned off the [D] easels.
Spent it all searching for God at the neon [G] cathedral.
Wouldn't miss it, but the [D] world baptized my vices.
And the bar is my [Em] church.
Traded my artist and I pawned off the [D] easels.
Spent it all searching for God.
Neon [G] cathedral.
_ Neon [D] cathedral.
_ Underneath this [Em] fragile frame.
_ _ [D] _ Lives a battle [G] between pride and shame.
[D] _ I've misplaced that [Em] sense of right.
_ [D] This crown of thorns is [G] clutched atop my spine.
[D] _ Listen closely [C] as I testify.
_ [D] _ _ Dependency has [Em] been that thief at [G] night.
[D] Thief at night.
_ [Em] Thief at night.
_ _ [D] _ [G] Dependency has [Em] been that thief at night.
[D] Thief at night.
[C] Thief at night.
_ _ [D] _ Dependency has [G] been that thief at night.
[D] Thief at night.
[Em] Leave at night _ _ _ _ _ _
