The Shine

B

B
It was exponential Memphis from a 
thousand feet
            G#m
But when we landed we were black and
 blue
B
Running through the city with 
apocalypse eyes
     E                             
Just miles of streets with nothing 
   F#
to do

     B
Your warm heart had been frozen by 
some cold ideas
             G#m
You tried to tell me but it came out
 wrong
  B
I changed my strings, shaved my face
 and
         E                      F#
Locked myself into the tower of song
        E                      F#
It gets lonely in the tower of song

    G#m        E              B  
But I, I don't stutter when I 
    F#
sing
G#m     E               B       F#
My melodies grow little wings
G#m     E             B         
Huddled here grinding tears into
     F#
 red wine
G#m      E                 B
Meet the darkness with the shine

B
We've got all our sons and daughters
 virgin blood on our hands
               G#m
They'll be the offspring of these 
ugly wars
          B
But if we kill off all our devils, 
will our angels die?
        E                      
I found love living life like a 
 F#
whore

   B
So here's some trusty chords and a 
melody
           G#m
A pound of flesh for the brutal 
throng
        B
For the heretics and walking dead 
and red headed girls
         E                       
From the fool up in the tower of 
F#
song
      E                  F#
I'm a fool in a tower of song
         E                       
Make the lonely fool smile, sing 
F#
along

G#m            E               B
Cause we don't stutter when we 
     F#
sing
G#m     E                B       F#
Our melodies grow little wings
G#m     E             B         
Huddled here grinding tears into
     F#
 red wine
G#m      E                 B     F#
Meet the darkness with the shine
G#m      E                 B     F#
Meet the darkness with the shine
G#m      E                 B
Meet the darkness with the shine
