Bm             A
How's one to know?
     G                   Em7             Bm
I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones
      G           D      A
In a faith forgotten land
Bm            A
In from the snow
      G                    Em7            Bm
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
 G             D      A
Tarnished but so grand

        Bm         A                G
And the old widow goes to the stone every day
       Em                Bm
But I don't, I just sit here and wait
  G               A
Grieving for the living

Chorus:
 D   Bm
Oh, goddamn
    A                G                     D
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Bm               A
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
D      Bm
Oh, I can't
  A               G                D
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
    Bm                  A
My house of stone, your ivy grows
                    Bm  A
And now I'm covered in you

I wish to know
The fatal flaw that makes you long to be
Magnificently cursed
He's in the room
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
He wants what's only yours

Chorus:
Oh, goddamn
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
Oh, I can't
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered

Em7           F#m
Clover blooms in the fields
   G                      A          Bm
Spring breaks loose, the time is near
               D                 D
What would he do if he found us out?
Em7            F#m
Crescent moon, coast is clear
   G                      A          Bm
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear
            D               D
He's gonna burn this house to the ground

How's one to know?
I'd live and die for moments that we stole
On begged and borrowed time
So tell me to run
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become
And drink my husband's wine

Chorus:
Oh, goddamn
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
Oh, I can't
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered in you
And I'm covered in you

   D
So yeah, it's a fire
        G                    A
It's a goddamn blaze in the dark
          D
And you started it
            G A
You started it
   Bm
So yeah, it's a war
          G                   A
It's the goddamn fight of my life
          D
And you started it
            G  A
You started it

Chorus:
Oh, I can't
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered
In you, in you
Now I'm covered in you
In you
