D
My father was a carpenter
G Bm
My mother she died young
G D
I'm the eldest of my brothers
A Bm
You're the trouble in my blood
G D
Trouble in my blood
D
I swore that I'd stay humble
G Bm
Like my father was before
G D
He built the home I live in
A Bm
Of sand and mud and smoke
G D
Sand and mud and smoke
[Chorus]
D G D
Yes, we will leave here without a trace
G D A
Take a new name and an old shape
G D
I'll be no outlaw, no renegade
G D A
Just your faithful god of loss

D
So meet me by the river
G Bm
On a boat-shaped piece of earth
G D
We press our bones together
A Bm
And the spider does its work
D
With flakes of garlic
G Bm
And petals from a rose
G D
If it's small enough to carry
A Bm
You and I can call it home
G D
You and I can call it home
[Chorus]
D G D
Yes, we will leave here without a trace
G D A
Take a new name and an old shape
G D
I'll be no outlaw, no renegade
G D A
Just your faithful god of loss
