verse 1 

G                        D 
In the beginning we were scrambled together 
             C                     G 
Mixed in a celestial bowl and hand fluffed with a feather 
        Em       D               C 
And the tears of bliss were not amiss 

    G              D 
The second day, we created the earth 
C                           G 
Tickled in irony as we made love upon it's girth 
           Em           D               C 
And to our delight, the sun gave us the stars 

    G                          D 
The creation of the moon was a miracle of light 
  C                                 G 
Descended from the rift in the dark star of night 
   Em           D                             C 
My veins pulsed butter as it illuminated your thighs 

       G                      D 
On the fourth day, we felt compelled to whistle 
    C                          G 
For how could we call the love birds to nestle 
            Em              D              C 
And keep us company in this world anew and fresh? 


 
C                                 G 
Today I paint to life, a portrait of the sacred friend, the perfect wife 
Em D          C 
In synesthesia 
C 
Together we have filled the world with colored wine 
        G 
But the story nears the present time 
   Em               D       C 
Of restlessness and wake up calls 



verse 2 
G                         Am 
Years have flown fast but then who's counting 
    C                              G                         Em 
The wars have been won but there's few left standing between us 
        D                    C 
And the shadows of Christmas past 

G                        Am 
Critically acclaimed but sadly underrated 
C                                  G 
Fortune definitely favored us, but no one celebrated 
    Em        D                  C 
Our wits were splitting at their ends... 



   C 
We gazed upon the city lights 
        G                                 Em 
We each laughed aloud one final time and agreed: 
        D               C 
This is one thing we'll miss 
          C 
And as we held our breath and forced our will 
    G 
The minutes stopped, the air was still 
    Em             D             C 
And minds began to unlearn their faulted ways 



Bridge 
                       C 
We blasted through the hills! 
                                                G 
They were the first to go, and the most painful so 

Because we made them first when we learned to bleed 
         Em                           D 
With our fingers on the seeds that we sowed in the dirt 
         C 
And then cried when we came in the glorious masterwork of life ending 
      G 
And beginning again 
     Em                     D 
We ignored the pleas of the forest and the seas 
      C 
As we scorched the earth with our tears? 


Outro 
                  C 
We burned them in fear 
              C 
Until there's nothing left 
C 
Nothing left 
         C 
Nothing, nothing left 
    G 
But us
