Cm
We plunge in
Db
A glance
Db
Then strikes
Bb
A blinding light
Cm
Then they melt
Db
The end
Db
And flows in
Bb
The daylight
Gm
Now it drags and pulls
Cm
And tears out every particle
Gm
Joints ache
Cm
And crack, they are dislocated
Gm
Blood runs in the veins
Cm
In the skin
Db
Your (skin)
Db
It digs its claws
Bb
And lacerates
Gm
Now it drags and pulls
Cm
And tears out every particle
Gm
Joints ache
Cm
And crack, they are dislocated
Gm
We raise our bowed bodies
Cm
The spine we straighten
Gm
Blood runs in the veins
In this middle section mess around with palm muting the c notes and scratch and bow
(like Jonsi) to your heart's content.
Cm
Don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
Cm
Don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
Cm
Don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
Gm
Now it drags and pulls
Cm
And tears out every particle
Gm
Joints ache
Cm
And crack, they are dislocated
Gm
We raise our bowed bodies
Cm
The spine we straighten
Gm
Blood runs in the veins
