We Need A Myth - Okkervil River chords
Start Jamming...
We need a mist, we need an [Bm] amethyst bridge
We need a high hanging [Em] cliff, jump far enough we can [C] make it
We [G] need a nest, we need a path [Bm] through the mist
Blacken our beds, we were [Em] just kids, like what was said by [C] our parents
[Ab] A mirror, guess what we're after [Db] is just there
A [Ab] mirror, guess what we're after [Db] is just there
We [E] need a mill, [Am] I feel my heart [Db] like a fence
We're drilling out [Gb] of the glass lips of any prophet [D] or goddess
I [A] need a net, brought back to life [Dbm] by a kiss
Scrape away [Gbm] grace, man, show me [Gbm] the world [D] as it was again
Eyes and wands [A] in a net, run to the tree, [Dbm] catch
Put his head [Gbm] to a net, and to forget that [D] the world was ever [Bb] split
A mirror, guess what we're after [Eb] is just there
It's [Bb] a mess, guess what we're after [Eb] is just there
So let [Abm] us figure out [Gb] a picture book for [E] the child
[Abm] Steal some old [Gb] regrettions for [E] their life
But
[Abm] desperate [Gb] measures point to desperate [E] times
And [Gb] that's why we [B] need a wall
[Ebm]
[Abm]
[E]
We're [B] counter-trust, and we need a [Ebm] mass of love
The world is trembling [Abm] and weeping, just at the point of [E] believing
In [B] a mirror, the sun that shines on [Ebm] my head
The moon that lights [Abm] me to bed
We're two identical [E] twins
Inside of [B] a mirror, I put the voice [Ebm] of a friend
I leaked his bank [Abm] statement, and he said
Well, before I [E] forget, we [Db] need a net
And that we need a [Fm] cake
To get your mouth [Bbm] through the rest
To get hurt, [Gb] be covered [Ab] in spit, and [Db] suffocated
If I were [Fm] tied in a tree, why would this be a [Bbm] easy process?
And would the truth [Gb] close the net?
I'd run down [Ab] the stairs
We [Db] need a net
[N]
