The Brothel Chords

Capo on 1st
 
[Intro]
Am Fadd9 F
Am Fadd9 F
 
[Verse 1]
Am     Fadd9 F
Purple pavement
Am                          Fadd9   F
Crookfingers knocking on windows without souls
Am             C            Em        Am
Bodies are swinging from rooftops and poles
Am              Fadd9 F
Howling through hollows
Am                Fadd9        F
Restless nights and one night cheap hotels
Am            C            Em        Am
Oh, I'm only drifting to always come back
 
[Instrumental]
Am Fadd9 Dm7 G
 
[Verse 2]
Am               Fadd9  F
And I search for something
Am           Fadd9      F
Oh, whatever I don't really care
Am                  C                  Em      Am
Driving with their lights off they can be anywhere
Am                 Fadd9  F
Rolling down their windows
Am             Fadd9   F
Open card with open mouths
Am     C         Em      Am
Golden teeth and golden cars
 
 
[Chorus]
                Am                   Am                     Fadd9
You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, you cover your ears
           Dm7       G
Still you follow my trail
           Am              Am        Fadd9 Dm7               G
I'll do it all, I'll do whatever you say, God has left me anyway
 
[Instrumental]
Am Fadd9 Dm7 G
Am Fadd9 Dm7 G
 
[Verse 3]
Am            Fadd9  F
Love I laid in payment
Am                      Fadd9       F
Stars with stains and heaven and afterglow
Am                     C    Em       Am
Beneath the ashes of echoes buried alive
Am                       Fadd9  F
They are howling through hollows
Am                    Fadd9        F
Once we share their temple of our arms
Am        C         Em       Am
Now our heads are hung up on walls
 
[Verse 4]
        Am         Fadd9  F
We are ruins within ruins
     Am            Fadd9 F
On every corner a gladiator
   Am           C       Em  Am
Is begging for another century
   Am         Fadd9    F
When no one cut your tongue
    Am          Fadd9    F
To know nothing and to know it all
Am              C  Em      Am
To be both the animal and god
 
[Chorus]
               Am                    Am                   Fadd9
You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, you cover your ears
           Dm7         G
Still you follow our trail
             Am              Am        Fadd9   Dm7              G
We'll do it all, we'll do whatever you say, God has left us anyway
                Am                    Am              Fadd9
You cover your eyes, you cover your mouth, cover your ears
           Dm7        G
Still you follow our trail
             Am              Am       Fadd9  Dm7                 G
We'll do it all, we'll do whatever you say, God has left us anyway

[Outro]
          E             F#m7        C#m7       B
There are echoes in the garden is anybody listening
          E             F#m7           C#m7       B
There are echoes lost in the garden is anybody listening
 
They whisper:
          E             F#m7        C#m7       B
The ones who are only living is the ones who are only dying
