A (CLAP CLAP CLAP!)

Verse 1:
A                E
When the baby's born
           A              E
Oh, let's turn it to the snow
        F#m              E
So that ice will surely grow
     F#m               E
Over weak and brittle bones
            A                E
Oh, let's leave it to the wolves
          A                 E
So their teeth turn it to food
         F#m               E
Oh, its flesh keeps them alive
         F#m               E
Oh, its death helps them survive
         F#m   A      E          
Oh, the world can be kind in its 
    F#m     E
own way

(repeat the chord progression for 
verse 1 instrumentally before going 
into verse 2)

Verse 2:
               A          E
Oh well your future's a machine

            A             E
With the mechanics of a dream
            F#m                  E
It is your mind that spins the wheel
          F#m                   E
And your heart that makes you feel
          A                 E
All the guilt for all your sins
        A              E
Oh and as that wheel spins
            F#m            E
Oh well it plays as they believed
              F#m            
And for your husband you have 
   E
grieved
        F#m    A       E         
Oh the world still deceives you 
      F#m   E
as it turns
(no instrumental break, cut straight
 to the next part)


      D (let ring)                 A
 (triplets)
Well in my lucid moments I could see
             F#m (let ring)         
           E (triplets)
Oh that the heart might be the 
weakest part of me
            D (let ring)            
            A (triplets)
Oh and the moon controls the 
movements of the tide
          F#m (let ring)            
            E (triplets)
Oh but it has no weight on the 
movements of my mind


NC
But if you turn your hands into 
flames

All their light will burn the same

Whether you just pass it through

or if it's what you want to do
(NC)       D        A
And your sense of culpability
              D               A
Is from the guides that you perceive
                F#m
Will show you grace
                         E
Oh when you turn to a ghost

        D                 A
Oh but now the love you found
            D               A
Is raising you from muddy ground
             D                 A
And oh the death will let you down
              F#m
'Cause your curse
                 E
Will go on the same
