Ivy Cifras

[Verse 1]
Am
How's one to know?
    F              Dm                   Am
I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones
     F                C
In a faith forgotten land
Am
In from the snow
     F                   Dm              Am
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
    F            C
Tarnished but so grand
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        Am                          F
And the old widow goes to the stone every day
       Dm                Am
But I don't, I just sit here and wait
F                G     C
Grieving for the living
 
[Chorus]
    Am
Oh, goddamn
   G                F                     C
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Am                Gsus4             G
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
C   Am
Oh, I can't
G                F           C
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Am                 G
My house of stone, your ivy grows
            Am           F Dm Am F G
And now I'm covered in you
 
[Verse 2]
Am
I wish to know
    F               D                 Am
The fatal flaw that makes you long to be
   F              C
Magnificently cursed
Am
He's in the room
      F            D              C
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
   F               G      C
He wants what's only yours
 
[Chorus]
    Am
Oh, goddamn
   G                F                     C
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Am               Gsus4              G
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
C   Am
Oh, I can't
G                F            C
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Am                 G
My house of stone, your ivy grows
             Am
And now I'm covered
 
[Verse 3]
Dm            Am     C
Clover blooms in the fields
F                        G           Am
Spring breaks loose, the time is near
              G                C
What would he do if he found us out?
Dm             Am       C
Crescent moon, coast is clear
F                        G           Am
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear
           G               C
He's gonna burn this house to the ground
 
[Verse 4]
Am
How's one to know?
    F            D                   Am
I'd live and die for moments that we stole
   F                    C
On begged and borrowed time
Am
So tell me to run
   F           D                    Am
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become
     F                 C
And drink my husband's wine
 
[Chorus]
    Am
Oh, goddamn
   G                F                     C
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Am               Gsus4              G
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
C   Am
Oh, I can't
G                F           C
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
Am                 G
My house of stone, your ivy grows
             C           Am Gsus4 G
And now I'm covered in you
    F       C   F Gsus4
And I'm covered
 
[Bridge]
   C
So yeah, it's a fire
       F                    Gsus4
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark
         C
And you started it
            F
You started it
   C
So yeah, it's a war
         F                   Gsus4
It's the goddamn fight of my life
        C
And you started it
            F
You started it
 
[Chorus]
C   Am
Oh, I can't
G                F           C
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
G                       C
My house of stone, your ivy grows
            C
And now I'm covered
   Am G F
In you
   C  Am C G C F G
in you
F                    C F Gsus4 G
Now I'm covered in you
   C F Gsus4
In you
 
[Outro]
