G  D  Em  C  D  Em  D

[Verse 1]
G               D               Em
Crows capturing   buildings and rats camped in a drain
C                   D               Em
Firelies caught encannoned in the rain
C                        G                                D        C
The scenes of secret people waiting the shouts that set them free
                       D              Em  D
They make themselves a home inside of me

[Verse 2]
G         D            Em
Armies of children and ghosts of suffragettes
     C            D              Em
Make merry in the cauldron of my chest
    C                G                D       C
And bodies dumped in ditches and stowaways at sea
                       D              Em
They make themselves a home inside of me
     C                 D              G
They make themselves a home inside of me

[Verse 3]
  G               D          Em
A fist fight at a wedding, a killing on the stairs
    C                      D               Em
The brilliant spark at the start of love affairs
     C            G                            D     C
Your tenderness's blessing and your assassin's accuracy
                       D              Em   G
They make themselves a home inside of me
     C                 D              G
They make themselves a home inside of me
