INTRO: G

VERSE:
D              C
Just like the brown bulbs of your 
eyes

                     G
The stars are certainly dead

D                         C
But something makes them shine

When I hover right above your 
E
dark-bed

D                    C
And I know it's not me

Illuminating through your face so 
G
well-fed

D                 C
But it brightens the

                              E
Parts of all your skin I ever wanted

CHORUS:
Bm                C2
You are a dark savior

Am B*  C                    *Keep A 
fingered here, just move bass note 
to B
I do need saving

B                C
All our hot behavior

Continues after the ad
     Am   B C2
Will not deliver me

     Am   B C2        D2
Will not deliver me

INTERLUDE:
G D Am E G      (he picks around a 
lot here, but these are the base 
chords)

VERSE:
C
The lilac-breath

           G
Is hot and still in

                       C
The first hours of the evening


And what is left

      G
In my will when

                    C
The lilac-breath is leaving


CHORUS:
B                C
You are a dark savior

Am B*  C                    *Keep A 
fingered here, just move bass note 
to B
I do need saving

B                C
All our hot behavior

     Am   B C2
Will not deliver me

     Am   B C2        D2
Will not deliver me


BRIDGE:
G
And what a dangerous drive that was,
 so young and dark

D
Jefferson Avenue, I imagined I blew

    E                               
        Am (ring)
The spark of a bullet into a tree on
 Belle Isle

G
While you were steering your 
father's giant car

D                              E
I kept hearing far, far, far away

              Am
Some childish dirge those


Merging semi-trucks would

G            E
Play

Am  (keep chord down, move bass 
notes to: A G A B A G A)


G            E
