[Verse 1]
G
It's a warm October night
               C
Your light is on
            G
And they're glistening sharp through the trees
            C
A vision is stuck as a leaf
         D      G                C
But your body moves from wall to wall
          D      G           C
And I'm hanging on for your mighty fall
          C                        D
When the peels have slipped you baby
          G
He dare call

[Verse 2]
  G
And I'll hang up the phone
                  C
When I hear you drive
        G                                   C
And I cut across the lawn like a surgeon's knife
          D       G                  C
And your body moves like a spin-less top
           D            G                   C
When I'm dragging you out, oh the tears won't stop
         C                 D
Honey how'd you have to do him
                           G
Or could you do it I could not

[Chorus]
       C (hold chord)                           G
And I bury you one way I never thought I would
        C
Oh the crushing silence
           C             G
Honey I never knew you could

On this deafening morning
           G
St. Peter walks with a hood
   D                       G
Leave your shoe in the gateway
               C
I'm coming on foot

[Verse 3]
      G                    C
So I take the knife and I drive it home
    G
I have time and the courage
    C
To drive it home once more
    D                G
Of all my dreams to fail me
   C
The one person that saves me
  D                  G
Of all the sins to nail me
   C
And oh this pardon he gave me
G
And the wind break
D                  C
I fall into the hole

[Chorus]
       C
And I bury you
                 G
One way I never thought I would
      C
Oh, the crushing silence
                G
Honey I never knew you could
           C
On this deafening morning, yeah
           G
St. Peter walks with a hood
           D                 G
Leave your shoe in the gateway baby
              C
I'm coming on foot

[Verse 4]
    G
My cold body
                 C
Still warmer than yours
         G
And it strangles the life out of me
            C
Please have mercy on me
  D              G
And your body moves
          C
Like an ocean brakes
 D                  G
And the falls crashing down
                   C
I'm the beats that take
 G                          D
Forever in this hot, dusty grave
              C
That's where we'll be

[Chorus]
       C
So I bury you
                         G
One way I never thought I would
       C
Oh, the crushing silence
                    G
Honey I never knew you would
           C
And the deafening morning
           G
St. Peter walks with a hood
D                       G
Leave your shoe in the gateway baby
            C
I'm coming on foot
D                       G
Leave your shoe in the gateway baby
            C
I'm coming on foot
D                        G
Leave your shoe in the gateway baby
            C
I'm coming on foot
D                       G
Leave your shoe in the gateway baby
C
I'm coming on foot
