Innocence Maintained

           D
Ophelia drowned in the water
           D
Crushed by her own weight
               C
Hitler loved little blue-eyed boys
          C
And it drove him to hate
                    D
Birds always grow silent before the 
night descends
       D                        
?Cause nature has a funny way of 
                     G
breaking what does not bend

Verse 2:
           D
A hero's torso built of steel and 
Novocain
             D
His heart a bitter beat inside a 
bloodless frame
                  C                
There was a hole inside his soul a 
              D
manicure could not fill

            D
So he found himself a whore to love
                             G
While daises choked in the window 
sill


Chorus:
       D               C
We've made houses for hatred
       G
It's time we made a place
         D      C              G
Where people's souls may be seen and
 made safe
    D             C           G
Be careful with each other, these 
fragile flames
     D         C                  
For innocence can't be lost, it 
    D       C     G
just needs to be maintained

Verse 3:
A small town in Ohio
Two boys are filled with violence
And darkness spreads its legs for 
hate and ignorance
We are given to a god to put our 
faith therein
But to be forgiven, we must first 
believe in sin

Chorus

Bridge:

Verse 4:
I want to live bravely and love 
without fear
I want to always feel the wings of 
grace near
We all will be Christed when we hear
 ourselves say
We are that to which we pray
