[Verse 1]
G
It's a warm October night
C
Your light is on
G
And they're glistening sharp through the trees
C
A vision is stuck as a leaf
D G C
But your body moves from wall to wall
D G C
And I'm hanging on for your mighty fall
C D
When the peels have slipped you baby
G
He dare call
[Verse 2]
G
And I'll hang up the phone
C
When I hear you drive
G C
And I cut across the lawn like a surgeon's knife
D G C
And your body moves like a spin-less top
D G C
When I'm dragging you out, oh the tears won't stop
C D
Honey how'd you have to do him
G
Or could you do it I could not
[Chorus]
C (hold chord) G
And I bury you one way I never thought I would
C
Oh the crushing silence
C G
Honey I never knew you could
On this deafening morning
G
St. Peter walks with a hood
D G
Leave your shoe in the gateway
C
I'm coming on foot
[Verse 3]
G C
So I take the knife and I drive it home
G
I have time and the courage
C
To drive it home once more
D G
Of all my dreams to fail me
C
The one person that saves me
D G
Of all the sins to nail me
C
And oh this pardon he gave me
G
And the wind break
D C
I fall into the hole
[Chorus]
C
And I bury you
G
One way I never thought I would
C
Oh, the crushing silence
G
Honey I never knew you could
C
On this deafening morning, yeah
G
St. Peter walks with a hood
D G
Leave your shoe in the gateway baby
C
I'm coming on foot
[Verse 4]
G
My cold body
C
Still warmer than yours
G
And it strangles the life out of me
C
Please have mercy on me
D G
And your body moves
C
Like an ocean brakes
D G
And the falls crashing down
C
I'm the beats that take
G D
Forever in this hot, dusty grave
C
That's where we'll be
[Chorus]
C
So I bury you
G
One way I never thought I would
C
Oh, the crushing silence
G
Honey I never knew you would

And the deafening morning

St. Peter walks with a hood

Leave your shoe in the gateway baby
