Ivy Chords

[Verse 1]
Bm           D/A
How's one to know?
    D/G                D/E              D/F#
I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones
     D/G         Aadd4
In a faith-forgotten   land
Bm          D/A
In from the snow
     D/G                    D/E          D/F#
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
D/G           Aadd4
Tarnished but so    grand
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        Bm        D/A               D/G
And the old widow goes to the stone every day
      D/E               D/F#
But I don't, I just sit here and wait
D/G              Aadd4
Grieving for the living
 
[Chorus]
D      Bm7
Oh, goddamn
   D/A              Bm7                   D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Bm7              Asus
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
D     Bm7
Oh, I can't
D/A              Bm7              D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
   Bm7                  Asus
My house of stone, your ivy  grows
               Bm      Bm/A Gmaj7
And now I'm covered in you
 
Bm/E  Bm/F#  Gmaj7  Bm/A  Asus
 
[Verse 2]
Bm         D/A
I  wish to know
    D/G             D/E               D/F#
The fatal flaw that makes you long to be
   D/G     Aadd4
Magnificently    cursed
Bm          D/A
He's in the room
     D/G           D/E           D/F#
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
   D/G            Aadd4
He wants what's only    yours
 
[Chorus]
D      Bm7
Oh, goddamn
   D/A              Bm7                   D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Bm7              Asus
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
D     Bm7
Oh, I can't
D/A              Bm7              D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
   Bm7                  Asus
My house of stone, your ivy  grows, and now I'm covered
 
[Verse 3]
Em7           F#m11
Clover blooms in    the fields
Gmaj7                    Bm/A         Bm
Spring breaks loose, the time is near
              F#m/C#             D
What would he do     if he found us out?
Em7            F#m11
Crescent moon, coast is clear
Gmaj7                    Bm/A           Bm
Spring breaks loose, but so   does fear
           F#m/C#            D
He's gonna burn   this house to the ground
Bm           D/A
How's one to know?
    D/G              D/E             D/F#
I'd live and die for moments that we stole
   D/G           Aadd4
On begged and borrowed time
   Bm         D/A
So tell me to run
   D/G             D/E                D/F#
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become
    D/G         Aadd4
And drink my husband's wine
 
[Chorus]
D      Bm7
Oh, goddamn
   D/A              Bm7                   D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Bm7              Asus
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
D     Bm
Oh, I can't
D/A              Bm7              D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
   Bm7                  Asus
My house of stone, your ivy  grows
               D       Bm7 D/A  Bm7
And now I'm covered in you
           D       Bm7 Aadd4
And I'm covered in you
 
[Bridge]
   D
So yeah, it's a fire
       Gmaj9                Aadd4
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark
        D
And you started it
            Gmaj9  Aadd4
You started it
   Bm7
So yeah, it's a war
         Gmaj9               Aadd4
It's the goddamn fight of my life
        D
And you started it
            Gmaj9  Aadd4
You started it
 
[Chorus]
Bm7   D/C#
Oh, I can't
Dadd4             Em7              Bm7
Stop  you putting roots in my dreamland
   D/C#                 D
My house of stone, your ivy grows
                    D
And now I'm covered
   Bm7 Asus    Bm7 D Bm7 Asus  D  Bm7  Asus
In you,     in you
Bm7     D          Bm7 Asus
Now I'm covered in you
   D
In you
