Heathens

D#5 F Gm F

 

D#5

She bargains with the world

F Gm F

So everything she wants will come to her

D#5

With no greed inside her mind

F Gm F

She knows what she deserves

D#5

We fell from sky with grace

F Gm F

And lathered in her soft and warm embrace

D#5

She gave her love, her gift of life

F Gm A#5 G5

So we could live with her

 

D5 F D#5

That is why we live like heathens

F Gm

Stealing from the trees of Eden

F D#5

Living in the arms of freedom

F Gm A#5 G5

And everything we touch is evil

F D5 D#5 F Gm

That is why we live like heathens

 

D#5

The stone, the dirt, the dust

F Gm

The unforgiving promise made to us

F D#5

Unworthy of your light, your god, your touch

F Gm

We’re guided by the lust

D#5

We cry the fallen names

F Gm F

We cry for those who burn beneath the flame

D#5

We stand beside the good and brave

F Gm A#5 G5

The broken and enslaved

Living in the arms of freedom

And everything we touch is evil

That is why we live like heathens

Some other with no heart will give love

Her love is yours, but only if you give your heart to her
