Verse 1:
A                E
When the baby's born
           A              E
Oh, let's turn it to the snow
        F#m              E
So that ice will surely grow
     F#m               E
Over weak and brittle bones
            A                E
Oh, let's leave it to the wolves
          A                 E
So their teeth turn it to food
         F#m               E
Oh, its flesh keeps them alive
         F#m               E
Oh, its death helps them survive
         F#m   A      E              F#m     E
Oh, the world can be kind in its own way


Verse 2:
               A          E
Oh well your future's a machine
            A             E
With the mechanics of a dream
            F#m                  E
It is your mind that spins the wheel
          F#m                   E
And your heart that makes you feel
          A                 E
All the guilt for all your sins
        A              E
Oh and as that wheel spins
            F#m            E
Oh well it plays as they believed
              F#m               E
And for your husband you have grieved
        F#m    A       E               F#m   E
Oh the world still deceives you as it turns



      D                   A 
Well in my lucid moments I could see
             F#m                   E 
Oh that the heart might be the weakest part of me
            D                       A 
Oh and the moon controls the movements of the tide
          F#m                        E 
Oh but it has no weight on the movements of my mind


A                           F#m
But if you turn your hands into flames
A                            F#m
All their light will burn the same
A                              F#m
Whether you just pass it through
A                       F#m
or if it's what you want to do
       D        A
And your sense of culpability
              D               A
Is from the guides that you perceive
                F#m
Will show you grace
                         E
Oh when you turn to a ghost

        D                 A
Oh but now the love you found
            D               A
Is raising you from muddy ground
             D                 A
And oh the death will let you down
              F#m
'Cause your curse
                 E
Will go on the same
