Effigy

Intro:
G#m   E  (x4)

Verse 1:
C#m              D#m                  A       E
   I watched the sun cut through your bedroom

C#m             D#m            A       E
   and make its way across the floor

C#m          D#m                  E                 A
   I drifted off to somewhere and back to where you are

    C#m               D#m                 A     E
The lights are up, We made it through the bars

Refrain
A               E
Like a lost stray, I'm coming home again

A                 E
Try to fly straight, But every now and then

A                 E
life becomes grey, And it takes a lot of sin

A                    E
to feel alive on the streets here at night

Verse 2:
C#m              D#m          A     E
   But nothing's ever lost forever

C#m             D#m            A      E
   I'll find my way up off the floor

C#m         D#m                 E               A
   But even on my best days I'm half of who you are

            C#m             D#m           A       E
I fucked it up, and I can't wash away the scars

Refrain:
A               E
Like a lost stray, I'm coming home again

A                 E
Try to fly straight, But every now and then

A                 E
life becomes grey, And it takes a lot of sin

A                    E
to feel alive on the streets here at night

Chorus:
A                     E
I know I won't break, but if you want to take

B                E
all I have we'll burn it up in effigy

A                      E
It's been a tail spin; I'll reap the whirlwind

B                C#m
all I have we'll burn it up in effigy

A                     E
I'll play a new part; I'll make a new start

B               E
All I was we'll burn it up in effigy

A                     E                       B
It's such a long war, but what I want more is you and me

    C#m
The rest can burn in effigy
