C/G Em C/G D Am
I saw a white-haired child, staring out through hollow gray eyes
C/G Em C/G D Am
I saw men that come to early ends, men who flicker, dim, and die
C/G Em C/G D Am
I saw a kerosene skyline from the suburbs of the city on a hill
C/G Em C/G D Am
I heard the clatter of the coin and the yawning of the few that have their fill
C/G Em
And the sun, it is a blister, rising like the dead
D Am
I drag my shadow behind me, and I drag my body to the edge of my bed
C/G Em
With my palms pressed to my eyes, I pray this one last time
D Am
If you’re someone else I might love you still, but as it is we’re done
C/G Em
Oh and you, you will not dig a hole in me
D
You will not chop down my tree
Am
Or hold me under the water
C/G Em
No and you, you will not dig a hole in me
D
You will not chop down my tree
Am
Or hold me under the water
C/G
Hold me under the water
Em
Hold me under the water
D
Hold me under the water
Am
Hold me under the water
Outro (still singing "Hold me under the water"):
