Novelty Crosses - The Black Dahlia Murder | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
C5

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C5
Eyes of perfect ivory
Match the sweetest lengths of your neck
I'm but a stain to such holy fabrics
Darwin's proposal
                                C5
Bouncing back from colored glass

[Break (1)]
---------------------
Serpents will guide me to your hull
Slithering between the pews of pearl
I'll walk a path of purity and temporary grace
Whatever it may take to eat and drink of you till slaked

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C5
  To run a gloveless finger up
Curvaceous trembling leg
We mustn't wait

[Break (2)]
---------------------
C5
  The fruits of tragedy we'll taste
I'll be Adam, you'll be Eve
We'll fuck and so create

[Pre-Chorus]
---------------------
Gb5
   I'm being strangled by his statue
Eb5   Gb5
   If only his cold eyes could weep
                                G5
For these things that shouldn't be

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                  Gb5
Father, I've been sinning
Eb5              G5
   I've pulled a fast one
                           Gb5
The perfect sleight of fate
Eb5 G5
      Goddamn, girl
        Gb5                  Eb5
Like an hourglass I'll invert   you
    G5
The Higher powers shuddering
   Gb5             Eb5
At what you have become

[Verse 3]
---------------------
C5
  The laws of science abandoned
Thrust into purgatory

[Middle]
---------------------
Eb5             Bb5             D
   Mary, you've never looked so tender
Eb5           C5
   I will you statues here
   Eb5              D
To take a breath of life and look upon
Eb5               Bb5       D        Eb5
   Her virgin skin   raised in  anticipation
C5                Eb5
  The dark has won
D                     G5
 My darkness has won again

[Solo 1]

[Bridge 1]
---------------------
C5              Eb5
  What is truth?
D5
  I cannot yet discern
C5                Eb5            D5
  Kneeling in hope   of reprimand
C5                  Eb5      D5
  This Father's love   shall not within me flow
     C5                Eb5
I've fallen to my knees   in hollow prayer

[Bridge 2]
---------------------
C5
  How original a sin!
We'll fuck and so create
And burn this planet in our wake



[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                  Gb5
Father, I've been sinning
Eb5              G5
   I've pulled a fast one
                           Gb5
The perfect sleight of fate
Eb5 G5
      Goddamn, girl
        Gb5                  Eb5
Like an hourglass I'll invert   you
    G5
The only heaven I will know
   Gb5                Eb5             C5
Is heaving 'neath the buttons of your blouse

[Outro 1]
---------------------
We'll be immortal
A most blessed union of lust
The flames of Hell shall lick our coattails
As we feast of infinity's bust
