Augustine

Em G C

     Em          G          C
As the bell tower blocks the summer 
light
Em       G            C
All the seeds in our garden fight
    Em   D    C              B
To break and blossom, all to be 
adored
                 C
And look, your skirt is torn
              D
And there's blood on our sheets
            Em     G   C
As comes the long arm of the law
Em    G       C
Fist tight, banging on the door
     Em  D    C              B  
And knocking me down on its way 
    C   D
in

As I pass out into a dream
Of whooping cranes and wooden beams
Great white wings beating
In an attic, in a house, in the dead
 of night

Oh, my Augustine, Augustine
C D          Em D C  Em D C
Oh, is this forever, ever?
C   D
Oh, oh
      Em D  C    Em D  C
Sweet Augustine, Augustine
      C         D
What does this mean for us?

Does it mean that I can never change
 my ways?
And that's why, love, you shouldn't 
stay
Still you will and love me
Like a mother or a maid bringing you
 down, down
Down on your brazen knees
Watering the worms and the weeds
Thinking, why does love leave me so 
damn cold?
Now I'm getting old
And is this what it should be?
Well, is it?

Oh, my Augustine, Augustine.
Oh, is this forever, ever?
Oh, oh
Sweet Augustine, Augustine
   C            D         G      C
Or do we kill this one tonight?
G  C

                 Em G    C
And now come the tears, heavy and 
hot
Em           G              C
As it comes clear, this is all we 
got
      Em   D   C
As I hold you to my bed
         B           C
Like a cancer, or a curse
            D
Now be my loving nurse
                 Em   D     C    
As we fall back into the 
     Em
impossible dream
