Wrecking Tab

by Laura Veirs


intro:     

               
Looting the destroyed
               
Vessels of the sea
                  
I wondered if the waves
                 
Had taken all of me
          
All of me back
            
Down to the black
                    
Down to where the worms reign silent and green
                 
Silent

              
We can do some wrecking here
              
'Til a little color
                 
Comes into your face
              
We can do some wrecking here
              
And find something to love
        
In this broken place
            
This broken place

And the king is a hand
And slaps you like a wave
And shackles you down
Bound like an anchored chain in the sand
Sends your ships o the rocks
Sends the keys to the lock of the chain
On your heart
To the mouth of a serpent
And his scaly glass shards

He's holding all the cards
And waiting in the waves
With the poker face
And no trail to trace
No trail to trace

We can do wrecking here
'Til a little color comes into your face
We can do some wrecking here
And find something to love
In this broken place
This broken place

(Basically it is just the E-B-c#m-A progression throughout the entire song)
