Intro: Bb (downward electronics)--Bb, Dm, Gm repeated

     Bb
Just cause your heart’s afraid
     Dm
Doesn’t give the right to say
     Gm
I was born this way


     Bb
You see the part you played
     Dm
All the silhouettes you’ve made
     Gm
Fleet the light of Day


   Bb           Dm               Gm
I wish I was innocent in a bad way
              Bb
But I’ve found
                             Dm
You don’t come after soldiers
                                   Gm
Unless they were yours in the first place


  Bb        Dm          Gm
Oh I swim in a violet sea
  Bb        Dm          Gm
But I’m bending the light connecting
  Bb        Dm          Gm 
So write a ‘lettre de marque’ and see
  Bb        Dm          Gm 
Oh if this dark matter heart can bleed.. out right


Instrumental: Bb, Dm, Gm


      Bb
Why do I push away
                    Dm
When your welcome is overstayed
      Gm
All I breathe is grey
      Bb
But through the disarray
      Dm             Dm7
You’re the emissary vein
      Gsus          Gm
To my left right brain


  [continued Gm]
Oh cause,
   Bb           Dm                  Gm 
I wish I was reticent in my own strength
               Bb
But I’ve found
                       Dm       
You don’t hold your composure
                            Gm
When I say that with a straight face


   Bb         Dm         Gm
Oh I swim in a violet sea
   Bb         Dm         Gm
But I’m bending the light connecting
   Bb         Dm         Gm
So write a ‘lettre de marque’ and see
   Bb         Dm         Gm                     Bb [into next verse]
Oh if this dark matter heart can bleed.. out right


     Bb                         Gm
See you brought your wits about you
                              Bb
The black bear that’ll haunt you
      Bb                           Gm
[If I can feel it, why do I need to see it – do I?]
     Bb                         Gm
See you brought your wits about you
                              Bb
The black bear that’ll haunt you
      Bb                           Gm  
[I don’t see it, oh did I ever feel it – did I?]


     Bb                         Gm
See you brought your wits about you
                              Bb
The black bear that’ll haunt you
     Bb        Dm       Gm
Oh I swim in a violet sea
     Bb        Dm       Gm 
But I’m bending the light connecting
     Bb                Dm       Gm
So write a ‘lettre de marque’ and see
     Bb                Dm       Gm 
Oh if this dark matter heart can bleed.. out right
