Sympathy Magic

[Verse 1]
         F#                         E
Memory fails me, names and faces blur
              B            F#
There is only after, or before
              F#
Am I so different? Have I changed?
          E
I do not recognise my face
            B
The scar fades but pulls inside
 F#
Tugging at me all the time
  F#                       E
Chewing on a feeling and spitting it out
   B                 F#
Crouched in a ball gown
  F#                E
Anxious and ashamed
     B                      F#
The vague humiliations of faith
 
 
[Chorus]
               F#
I do not find worthiness in virtue
              E
I no longer try to be good
           B
It didn't keep me safe
          F#
Like you told me that it would
              F#
So come on, tear me wide open
   E
A terrible gift
          B
Let the chorus console me
 F#
Sympathy magic
 
 
[Verse 2]
B/D#                                C#
    And light coming in the window just so
                     B
    And the wind through my fingers
                      G#m7
    The only God that  I  know
                    B/D#                       C#
    And it does not want me on my knees to believe
               B
    Head high,    arms wide
            G#m7
    Aching, aching, aching
 
 
[Chorus]
And ali--ive
And ali--ive
So I don't have to be worthy
I no longer try to be good
It didn't keep me safe
Like you told me that it would
So come on, tear me wide open
'Til I'm losing my mind
'Til I cannot contain it
La-la la-la, da-da-da
 
[Bridge]

So come on, come on, I can take it
Give me everything you got
What else? What else? What else? What else?
So come on, come on, I can take it
Give me everything you got
What else? What else? What else?
