verse 1
Bm
Ravished from our paradise
Bm
A crack in the mirror
D Em
I know who's to blame
Bm
So full of life but paralyzed
Bm
Etched on my iris
D Em C Asus2 ( C C B B D D C# )
But I try not to think of it all...
verse 2
Bm
We swore to God in veritas
Bm
And burned our skin
D Em C-5
like it burned our souls
Bm
One dealt with grief by causing pain
Bm
She hid behind maple
D Em C Asus2 ( C C B B D D C# )
and built her own fortress of sound

Leaving you now with a heart black as cardinal sin.
