INTRO: G
VERSE:
D C
Just like the brown bulbs of your eyes
G
The stars are certainly dead
D C
But something makes them shine
E
When I hover right above your dark-bed
D C
And I know it's not me
G
Illuminating through your face so well-fed
D C
But it brightens the
E
Parts of all your skin I ever wanted
CHORUS:
Bm C2
You are a dark savior
Am B* C *Keep A fingered here, just move bass note to B
I do need saving
B C
All our hot behavior
Am B C2
Will not deliver me
Am B C2 D2
Will not deliver me
INTERLUDE:
G D Am E G (he picks around a lot here, but these are the base chords)
VERSE:
C
The lilac-breath
G
Is hot and still in
C
The first hours of the evening
And what is left
G
In my will when
C
The lilac-breath is leaving
CHORUS:
B C
You are a dark savior
Am B* C *Keep A fingered here, just move bass note to B
I do need saving
B C
All our hot behavior
Am B C2
Will not deliver me
Am B C2 D2
Will not deliver me
BRIDGE:
G
And what a dangerous drive that was, so young and dark
D
Jefferson Avenue, I imagined I blew
E Am (ring)
The spark of a bullet into a tree on Belle Isle
G
While you were steering your father's giant car
D E
I kept hearing far, far, far away
Am
Some childish dirge those
Merging semi-trucks would
G E
Play
Am (keep chord down, move bass notes to: A G A B A G A)
G E
