[Verse]
C Fmaj7
You were brave as a chessboard queen
Am
But the shoe didn’t fit your feet
Fmaj7 C C7
Cover the mouth of the Earth’s great cough
Am Fmaj7 C
You can’t always get what you want
[Verse]
Fmaj7
So you lie in the driveway snow
Am
'Til you’re white as a bed sheet ghost
Fmaj7 C C7
Bathed in the light of a star long dead
Am Fmaj7 C
No one can tell how it ends
[Chorus]
Am
If you’re blind to love
F
Why don't you say it, love?
C
It doesn’t amount to much
Em
You're a grail without the blood
Am
If you’re blind to me
F
Why do you say you see?
C
Shouldn’t it always be
G
Clear to us?
C
[Verse]
Fmaj7
Did you carve out a place in the world?
Am
Were your white little bones of a bird
Fmaj7 C C7
Crushed like a husk in the Great Deceiver's mouth?
Am Fmaj7 C
I hope it’s all working out
[Chorus]
Am
Cause if you’re blind to love
F
You shouldn’t try to love
C
It doesn’t amount to much
Em
You're a holy with no ghost
Am
And if you’re blind to me
F
Why do you try to see?
C
Shouldn’t it always be
G
Obvious?
[Outro]
F A
Proud like a hunter with a bow
Am C
Cowed like a prisoner below
F
I don’t sleep so well
Bb Am G F
I woke up here on the crowded seats of a bus
Am G Am
I was a husk
