        C#m     E  E/G#  Aadd9
For the love, I'd   fallen on
        C#m     E  E/G#  Aadd9
in the swampy August    dawn
        C#m     E  E/G#  Aadd9                     B(add13)
what a mischief you   would bring young darling!
        C#m           A      B
when the onus is not all your own
           C#m         A            B
when you're up for it before you've grown
         C#m          A    E
Wo-oo-ah oh ah oh ah oh
 
         C#m  E  E/G#  Aadd9
from the faun forever gone
       C#m       E  E/G#  Aadd9
in the towers of your honeycomb
      C#m       E  E/G#          Aadd9
I'd a tore your hair out just to climb back darling
            C#m         A         B
when you're filling out your only form
         C#m           A          B
can you tell that it's just ceremon'
           C#m         A           B
now you've added up to what you're from
         C#m          A
Wo-oo-ah oh ah oh ah oh
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G                                    Bm      A   G
build your tether rain-out from your fragments
G                                Bm      A   G
break the sailor's table on your sacrum
G                                  Bbdim    D
fuck the fiercest fables, I'm with Hagen

for the love, comes the burning    young
        Bm            D  D/F#  Gadd9
from the liver, sweating through your tongue
        Bm            D  D/F#  Gadd9                          A(add13)
well, you're standing on my sternum don't you climb down darling
       Bm               G        A
oh the sermons are the first to rest
         Bm                  G          A
smoke on Sundays when you're drunk and dressed
        Bm                 G       A
out the hollows where the swallow nests
         Bm          G
Wo-oo-ah oh ah oh ah oh
