Nearly Beloved

[G] [D] [Em]
[C] [D] [Em]

[G]Last night I dr[D]eamt one thousand l[Em]ives
I could see the da[C]wn through a diff[D]erent set of [Em]eyes
[G]There in my slu[D]mber passing t[Em]ime
Long live the w[C]orld res[D]ting on its si[Em]de

I walked the or[C]chard with y[G]ou
Your ha[D]nd in my [Em]mine
[C]In the evergre[G]ens drinking [B7]wine
I saw the s[Em]now fall in b[D]lack and white from the a[C]uburn s[G]ky
Last ni[B7]ght I lived more than one thousand l[Em]ives
Not on[D]e of them sur[G]vived

Up through the earth and dawn I came
I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain
In the vacuum of my own brigade
Resurrected to make you mine again

Orpheus looked back once, she sailed the underworld
No second chances will be earned
I have returned as a phantom now to walk the bow and stern
Last ni[B7]ght I lived more than one thousand l[Em]ives
Not on[D]e of them sur[C]vived

[Em]If we could do better I k[Bm]now that we would
[C]Maybe admit it now, we're n[G]ot that go[D]od
[Em]We keep the needle between z[Bm]ero and one
[C]You play your fiddle, baby, I[G]'ll play du[D]mb       [C]

Into the pastures of our minds
Goes my nearly beloved and I
Blazing two parallel white lines
Through this broken heart spilled open wide

Time might be on my side
But it's mostly far behind
I was the apple of your eye
Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel there stuck with knives
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
Not one of them survived
