Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Dear friend as you know

Your flowers are withering

Your mother's gone missing

Your leaves have drifted away

But the clouds are clearing up

And I've come reveling

Burning incandescently

Like a bastard on the burning sea

You're just like your father

Buried deep beneath the water

Your pressing on your laurel

Is stepping on my toes

Whose side are you on?

What side is this anyway?

Put down your sword and crown

Come lay with me on the ground

You come beating like moth's wings

Spastic and violently

Whipping me into a storm

Shaking me down to the core

But you run away from me

And you left me shimmering

Like diamond wedding rings

Spinning dizzily down on the floor

You're just like your father

Buried deep beneath the water

Your pressing on your laurel

Is stepping on my toes

Whose side are you on?

What side is this anyway?

Put down your sword and crown

Come lay with me on the ground

You're just like your father

Buried deep beneath the water

Your pressing on your laurel

Is stepping on my toes

Whose side are you on?

What side is this anyway?

Put down your sword and crown

Come lay with me on the ground
