D    G


[Verse 1]
D
You were terrible
D
And you were kind
G             C                  D
Between the shield, between the mime
D
You were terrifying
D
And oh so strange
G        C        D
Witnessing your red lit game
A
Empty eyes roll over my spine
A
We heard
G        C          D          A
Barking dogs in the flickering light

[Pre-chorus]
G                                          D
Hold me, hold me, hold me by the water so wide
G                    D
Show me all is well on the inside

[Chorus]
Em       Bm
Born and bred
            D
The weak, the wise
Em               Bm        D
Remind me how to love but how to lie
Em       Bm                D
Born and raised, the meek and the mild
Em               Bm        D
Remind me how to live I’m half-alive

D    G

[Verse 2]
D
And the floorboards were creaking
D
Under all of our feet
       G             C                D              A
And we hid from the faces and their gleaming white teeth
         Bm
All the feathers were dancing
    Bm
Over all of our heads
        G             C                D      A
And no cheers from a crowd that had already left

[Pre-chorus]
G                                          D
Hold me, hold me, hold me by the water so wide
G                    D
Show me all is well on the inside

[Chorus]
Em       Bm
Born and bred
            D
The weak, the wise
Em               Bm        D
Remind me how to love but how to lie
Em       Bm                D
Born and raised, the meek and the mild
Em               Bm        D
Remind me how to live I’m half-alive

[Chorus]
Em       Bm
Born and bred
            D
The weak, the wise
Em               Bm        D
Remind me how to love but how to lie
Em       Bm                D
Born and raised, the meek and the mild
Em               Bm        D
Remind me how to live I’m half-alive
