Jocasta Chords

  			Intro: 
A (CLAP CLAP CLAP!) 

verse 1: 
A                E 
When the baby's born 
           A              E 
Oh, let's turn it to the snow 
        F#m              E 
So that ice will surely grow 
     F#m               E 
Over weak and brittle bones 
            A                E 
Oh, let's leave it to the wolves 
          A                 E 
So their teeth turn it to food 
         F#m               E 
Oh, its flesh keeps them alive 
         F#m               E 
Oh, its death helps them survive 
         F#m   A      E              F#m     E 
Oh, the world can be kind in its own way 

(repeat the chord progression for verse 1 Instrumentally before going into verse 2) 

verse 2: 
               A          E 
Oh well your future's a machine 
            A             E 
With the mechanics of a dream 
            F#m                  E 
It is your mind that spins the wheel 
          F#m                   E 
And your heart that makes you feel 
          A                 E 
All the guilt for all your sins 
        A              E 
Oh and as that wheel spins 
            F#m            E 
Oh well it plays as they believed 
              F#m               E 
And for your husband you have grieved 
        F#m    A       E               F#m   E 
Oh the world still deceives you as it turns 
(no Instrumental break, cut straight to the next part) 


      D (let ring)                 A (triplets) 
Well in my lucid moments I could see 
             F#m (let ring)                    E (triplets) 
Oh that the heart might be the weakest part of me 
            D (let ring)                        A (triplets) 
Oh and the moon controls the movements of the tide 
          F#m (let ring)                        E (triplets) 
Oh but it has no weight on the movements of my mind 


NC 
But if you turn your hands into flames 

All their light will burn the same 

Whether you just pass it through 

or if it's what you want to do 
(NC)       D        A 
And your sense of culpability 
              D               A 
Is from the guides that you perceive 
                F#m 
Will show you grace 
                         E 
Oh when you turn to a ghost 

        D                 A 
Oh but now the love you found 
            D               A 
Is raising you from muddy ground 
             D                 A 
And oh the death will let you down 
              F#m 
'Cause your curse 
                 E 
Will go on the same
