For you, I would tattoo me
Bm7(4) Bm7(4) D(9) E
With lines crossing into a hand and a heart that would never bleed
Asus9 Asus9 Asus9/G Asus9/G
With the twilight and the horse drawn on my arm
Bm7(4) Bm7(4) D(9) E
Standing for an addiction, pray we go unharmed.
G G D D
Here is my love and anger
C(9) C(9) D D
You see now, these are my gods, these are my scars
G G D D
Here is, here is my love and anger
C(9) C(9) D D
Well, these arms are burning, but they’re open wide
Some things, I hold too tightly
Some things, I’ll never, I’ll never touch
Oh, but I’m wearing down the stones in the river
And you see all my life, I’ve painted with anger’s brush
Now, now could you lift me through my love and anger
You see now, these are your gods, these are my scars
Lift me through my love and anger
Oh, well, my arms are burning, but they’re open wide
Oh, you precious kid
I have a motion, and it’s just for you
I see a warrior, barefoot and dancing
Oh with tears of pain and beauty, and all of this is true
For you lift me through my love and anger
You see now, these are my gods, these are your scars
Lift me through my love and anger
Oh, well, my arms are burning but they’re open wide.

Pointing out the graveyards, I will be the reaper
Bm7(4) Bm7(4) E E
If you will be the keeper of my heart
Asus9 Asus9 Asus9/G Asus9/G
I will be the reaper if you will be the keeper
Bm7(4) Bm7(4) E E Asus9.
You are the keeper of this heart, of my heart
