Am  Em  F  C  G    Dm
Am  Em  F  C  G    Dm

[Verse]
    Am            Em             F            C
The first rose to rise up in the ruins of the flood
               G                        Dm
You brought me down like a hawk to your glove
      Am           Em          F          C
But a poor girl is made out of sorrow and blood
               G                   Dm
Some hearts survive but mine isn't one

[Chorus]
    Em    F    Am       G      Dm
And we go once down the aisle
F      Am        G      Dm
Twice 'round the stars
        F          C            G           Dm   C  F
You had all the persuasion of a snake on my arm
                    Am
And seven times the charm

[Instrumental]
Am  Em  F  C  G    Dm

[Verse]
   Am               Em           F           C
My dreams grew like feathers and fell all at once
         G                 Dm
Much too heavy, but never enough
   Am         Em           F         C
To lay down beside you and cover you up
     G                          Dm
Only god should deserve so much love

[Chorus]
    Em    F    Am       G      Dm
And we go once down the aisle
F      Am        G      Dm
Twice 'round the stars
        F          C            G            Dm   C  F
You had all of the gleam of the jewels on my arm
                    Am
And seven times the charm

[Instrumental]
Am  Em  F  C  G    Dm
Am  Em  F  C  G    Dm

[Verse]
    Am           Em                F           C
The same way the earth moves under you like it does
    G                         Dm
And swallows the light of the sun
  Am              Em             F            C
I didn't feel you turning didn't know what it was
        G                   Dm
But the rains had already begun,  oh yeah

[Chorus]
      Em    F    Am      G      Dm
And I never once saw you smile
     F          Am      G     Dm
As I pulled you into my arms
        F           C            G          Dm   C  F
You had none of the kindness and all of the harm
                    Am
And seven times the charm

[Outro]
Am  Em  F  C  G    Dm
Am  Em  F  C  G    Dm
Am  Em  F  C  G    Dm
