I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window
I saw the darkness in my heart
I saw the signs of my undoing
They had been there from the start
And the darkness still has work to do
The knotted chord's untying
They're heated and they're holy
Oh they're sitting there on high
So secure with everything they're buying
In the blood of [G]Eden[D]
Lie the woma[A]n and the [Bm]man
With the [Em]man in the wo[D]man
And the woman[A] in the m[A/F#]an
In the blood of [G]Eden[D]
Lie the wom[A]an and the [Bm]man
We wanted the u[Em]nion[D]
[A]Oh the union of the w[Em]oman
The wom[A]an and the m[D]an
Repeat Verse Progression
My grip is surely slipping
I think I've lost my hold
Yes, I think I've lost my hold
I cannot get insurance anymore
They don't take credit, only gold
Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see
You hold so tightly in your hand
And all the while the distance grows between you and me
I do not understand
In the blood of [G]Eden[D]
Lie the woma[A]n and the [Bm]man
With the [Em]man in the wo[D]man
And the woman[A] in the man
In the blood of [G]Eden[D]
Lie the wom[A]an and the [Bm]man
We wanted the u[Em]nion[D]
[A]Oh the union of the w[Em]oman
The wom[A]an and the m[D]an
[Bm] At my reques[A]t, you take me in[Bm]
In that tenderness,[A] I am floating away[Bm]
No certainty, [A]nothing to rely on[Bm]
Holding still[A]
For a mom[Bm]ent
What a mome[E]nt this is
Oh for a mome[Bm]nt of forgetting
A mo[E]ment[Esus4] of bliss[E2]
[D]Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy[A]
[D] [A] [D]
[A] I can hear the distant thunder[D]
Of a million unheard souls[A]
Of a million unheard souls[D]
[A] Watch each one reach for creature comfort[D]
[A] For the filling of their holes[D]
In the blood of [G]Eden[D]
Lie the woma[A]n and the [Bm]man
With the [Em]man in the wo[D]man
And the woman[A] in the man
In the blood of [G]Eden[D]
Lie the wom[A]an and the [Bm]man
We wanted the u[Em]nion[D]
[A]Oh the union of the w[Em]oman
The wom[A]an and the m[D]an
