Tear it down, tear it down around my head. _ _ _ _ _
_ You bury this beneath my bed. _ _ _ _ _
_ I'm frozen in the garden [C] or laughing at [G] my expense. _ _ _ _ _
[Em] Drowning out all the [C] lies that I might have [G] told instead. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] My stone, my shield, my steady hand. _ _ _ _ _ _
Hold your light _ to the darkness in my head.
Pull _ _ your ear to my heart or [C] set your teeth [G] against my throat. _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ Something pretty [C] to wear beneath [Em] my bloodstained [Gm] clothes. _ _ _ _ _
[C#] My darling, _ [C] that's _ [Em] my name. _ _ _ _
Whoa, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ whoa.
Lay _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
me down, _ pour the dirt into our bed. _ _ _ _ _
Tell the crows they can have their pound of flesh.
_ _ _ Close _ _ to the [C] window, echo all our [G] quiet prayer. _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] When they come for us, [C] they'll come _ [G] worse than nails. _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ Darling, [C] that's my _
[B] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ name.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] My name. _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ Ooh.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] Get on your knees and dig up the garden, won't you?
[G] Throw down that spade and dig up the garden, [Em] darling.
Dig up that sturdy [C] and [Em] rip up the garden.
[G] Won't you fight down that apple [Em] tree for me? _
