Ivy Cifras

[Verse 1]
Am           Gsus4
How's one to know?
    Fsus2               Dm7            Am
I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones
    Fsus2         C       Gsus4
In a faith-forgotten land
Am         Gsus4
In from the snow
Fsus2                  Dm7        Am
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
Fsus2          C   Gsus4
Tarnished but so grand
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am            Gsus4            Fsus2
And the old widow goes to the stone every day
     Dm7.              Am
But I don't, I just sit here and wait
Fsus2              Gsus4
Grieving for the living
 
 
[Chorus]
 C  Am
Oh, goddamn
  Gsus4               Fsus2              C
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Am          Gsus4
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
 C   Am
Oh, I can't
Gsus4            Fsus2            C
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
 Am             Gsus4
My house of stone, your ivy grows
                    Am   Gsus4  Fsus2 Fsus2 Dm7 Dm7 Gsus4 Gsus4
And now I'm covered in you
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am        Gsus4
I wish to know
Fsus2               Dm7          Am
The fatal flaw that makes you long to be
  Fsus2        C   Gsus4
Magnificently cursed
Am         Gsus4
He's in the room
  Fsus2          Dm7           Am
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
  Fsus2          C   Gsus4
He wants what's only yours
 
 
[Chorus]
 C  Am
Oh, goddamn
  Gsus4              Fsus2               C
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Am          Gsus4
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
 C   Am
Oh, I can't
Gsus4            Fsus2            C
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
 Am             Gsus4
My house of stone, your ivy grows
 
And now I'm covered
 
 
[Verse 3]
Dm7          Em
Clover blooms in the fields
Fsus2                Gsus4          Am
Spring breaks loose, the time is near
          C/B           C
What would he do if he found us out?
Dm7           Em
Crescent moon, coast is clear
Fsus2                Gsus4         Am
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear
          C/B          C
He's gonna burn this house to the ground
Am        Gsus4
How's one to know?
Fsus2                 Dm7         Am
I'd live and die for moments that we stole
  Fsus2           C       Gsus4
On begged and borrowed time
Am          Gsus4
So tell me to run
Fsus2               Dm7              Am
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become
  Fsus2           C     Gsus4
And drink my husband's wine
 
 
[Chorus]
 C   Am
Oh, goddamn
  Gsus4               Fsus2              C
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Am           Gsus4
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
 C   Am
Oh, I can't
Gsus4            Fsus2            C
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
  Am            Gsus4
My house of stone, your ivy grows
                      C  Am Gsus4
And now I'm covered in you
 F                C  Am Gsus4
And I'm covered in you
 
 
[Bridge]
  C
So yeah, it's a fire
          Fsus2           Gsus4
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark
       C
And you started it
         Fsus2  Gsus4
You started it
  Am
So yeah, it's a war
Fsus2              Gsus4
It's the goddamn fight of my life
       C
And you started it
          Fsus2 Gsus4
You started it
 
 
[Chorus]
 Am    C/B
Oh, I can't
C                 Dm7           Am
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
  Gsus4
My house of stone, your ivy grows
                   C
And now I'm covered
   Am  Gsus4 Gsus4
In you,
 
C  Am Gsus4 C Am Gsus4 Gsus4
in you
 
         C   Am    Gsus4 Gsus4
Now I'm covered in you
   C Am Gsus4 C Am Gsus4 Gsus4 C
In you
