Holy Water

Bb                   Am
Don't sing a song of perfect sadness
Bb                  Am
Don't glorify these waking dreams
Bb                   Am
Don't give a voice to all that 
withers
Bb                Am
Don't satisfy these vacant themes
Gm           Dm        
Sing songs of purpose, 
Gm                Dm
ones they feel in earnest
Gm         Dm           A
Long after the furnace claims you

Gm                          Dm
You know the motives of the pigeons 
on the back porch
Gm                          Dm
You know the secrets of the kissing 
cousins, I'm sure
Gm                  Dm
You are a stream of consciousness
Gm                Dm
You are the Creed of Solomon

Dm              C
Fabled mother, squeeze your utter
F                           C
Drown me with indifference, weaken 
my ambition
Dm             C
Fabled mother, put me under
F                  C
Cellular invasion, feed me 
innovation
Gm                        
Tap me into all the great 
F              C          F
debates before I fall to pieces
C            F            A*
Growing ever fond of my denial

Gm                
Make it count, 
Dm                           F
don't let this holy water go to 
waste

Dm            
Burning down 
F                        C
the back of your throat, ignite the 
flame
Dm         F                C
Melt away sensations bound to 
yesterday
C                Dm
Got-got-got-got, you got to feel

It heals like holy water (holy 
water)

Dm                    F
My heart is wide and I take it in, 
take it in
C                F
Glory divine and I take it in, take 
it in
C                Dm
My eyes are open with unthinkable 
compassion
C                   F
Pray I remember long enough to gain 
some traction

Gm
My oldest habits creep
Gm
Dispersing their disease
Dm              F
Suffocating divination
       Gm                     Dm
Can I cling to any sliver of acute 
serenity before
    F       Dm
the plunge?

Gm                  Dm
Will you remember? (Will you 
remember?)
Gm               Dm
Will you remember me?
Gm                  Dm
Will you remember? (Will you 
remember?)
Gm                F
Will you remember me?
