 Intro:

 [         ]


 Verse 1 - Verse 2 (0:14)


civilized, 
	 
all our lives,
	/
not a breath 
	   
the grass unmoved, 
	    
to sleep inside the stillness 



without blood, 
	 
without air, 
	  /
all the stares 
	   
averting eyes, 
		 
this was what’s worse than dying 


 Chorus 1 (0:42)

	     
my mind was set, 
		Cadd9sus4
just like the sun’s red, 
	     
but now the sun is setting
		 
there have been some, 
	  Cadd9sus4
that cut me good, 
		G9sus4		  
the blood was there for letting

 Verse 3 (1:16)


the weekend nights, 
		 
can change your life, 
	    /
unfold your arms 
	   
one last surprise, 
	    
something before we die 


 Chorus 2 (1:31)

	       
our eyes are closed, 
		Cadd9sus4
once more will not roll, 
	     
this killing is good killing 
	     
despite the red 
		Cadd9sus4
and years and years of sinning, 
      
elizabeth is winning

 Verse 4 - Verse 5 (2:40)


unrefined, 
	      
the pitch of pines, 
		/
grass stained shirts 
	       
and fucked up hair, 
	      
to breathe outside the stillness 



with your blood, 
	
and the air, 
		/
withstand the stares 
	    
straighten eyes, 
	   
we do not fear this dying 


 Chorus 3 (3:09)

	       
our eyes are closed, 
		Cadd9sus4
once more will not roll, 
	     
this killing is good killing 
	     
despite the red 
		Cadd9sus4
and years and years of sinning, 
      
elizabeth is winning 
	      
forget these lights, 
		  Cadd9sus4
we don’t need so much explaining, 
      G9sus4
elizabeth is winning
