C
Choose to use your heart
Am
If even towards the harshest fate
Dm
That it may be swallowed
F G
A masticated, mistaken thing
C
That you may ripely pine
Am
In the mammoth nothing of the night
Dm
Left to your own devices
F G C Am
And too exhausted to know what you want
Dm F G
I know, I know
C
And oh, such is the torment
Am
Of the giving of your organs
Dm
When given willingly,
F G C Am
How merciless a hand can be on you
Dm F G
on you
C Em
And oh the sour fear of defeat
Am
Like wounded soldiers all still and slight
F
Lining like silk
G C
all the roads to your marrow
Am
the roads to your marrow
Dm F G
I know, I know
C
And all the heaps of hurt
Em Am
Well they've had it up to here with you and further
F G C Am
But when you feel it at your hip, every time how you wish that it was home
Dm F G
Oh no, oh no we're singing
Am F
Lay me down, lay me low
C G
Let go your crown, disarm me
Am F
Singing take me south, take me home
C G
Hold your own, and claim me
C
That we may ripely pine
Am
In the mammoth nothing of the night
Dm
Left to our own devices
F G
And we'll know, we'll know
C Am
Know just what we want
Dm
We'll know
F G Am
We'll know, we'll know what we want.
