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
from the faun forever gone
in the towers of your honeycomb
I'd a tore your hair out just to climb back darling
when you're filling out your only form
can you tell that it's just ceremon'
now you've added up to what you're from
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 Bb-dim 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
