Shadowland

[Cm7]   [Cm7] [Ab]

I have [Cm7]been to the shadowland
I [Cm7]hear[Ab]d the empty call
of [Cm7/F]hatred, anorexia
[Cm7]Mise[Ab]ry and alcohol [Gm]    [B]

By their [Cm7]hearths I warmed myself
To es[Cm7]cape[Ab] from the winter years
Until I [Cm7/F]saw in the window
Myself [Cm7]cryi[Ab]ng fire-coloured tea[Gm]rs [B]

[Cm]Love, the only alchemy
[Cm]Lov[Ab]e, the killer of despair
[Cm]Lov[F]e, the patient samurai
[Cm]Lov[Ab]e, the armour angels wea[Gm]r  [B]
[Cm]Love      [Cm7]          [Ab]

They [Cm7]turned away the prophet
Because she was [Cm7]youn[Ab]g and full of longing
Instead they [Cm7/F]turned to the magistrate
Who was [Cm7]busy[Ab] yawning  [Gm]     [B]

And they [Cm7]try to sell me holy books
But I can [Cm7]see [Ab]their eyes are wild
I caught them [Cm7/F]pouring shame and fear
Into the [Cm7]perf[Ab]ect vessel of a chil[Gm]d  [B]

[Cm]Bue love's the only alchemy
[Cm]Lov[Ab]e, the killer of despair
[Cm]Lov[F]e, the true nobility
[Cm]Lov[Ab]e, the armour angels wear[Gm]   [B]
[Cm]Love

[Cm7]Love[Ab] will make your eyes clear
[Cm7/F]The order of the universe
[Cm7]The [Ab]only reason we are here [Cm7]
