[C#m]
[A]
[C#m]
[A]
[C#m] Marrow made a wife of Eve, but no one gave up a rip from [A] me and mine.
My [C#m] heart stayed exposed to the elements, calloused and untouched by a [A] man's design.
[B] All my ugly [C#m] organs, how lucky we [A] are.
[C#m]
[A]
[C#m] Brick and mortar between my bones, built a kingdom fierce and [A]
fortified.
My [C#m] name faded through the yellow page, but stones are laid upon the [A]
mountainside.
[B] All my [C#m] savage empire, how lucky we [A] are.
[B] Never [C#m] to be moved by the words of [A] a liar.
The dark [B] doesn't fright me, [C#m] I chose to [E] close my eyes.
It [A] is mine, [C#m] it [E] is [B] [A] mine.
And light doesn't [B] fright me, I [C#m] chose [E] to let it ride.
It is [A] mine, [C#m] it is [B] [A] mine.

[F#m] [A] [C#m]
[A]
[B] [C#m] Time has changed the metaphor, now dust is not the origin [A] of bone.
[C#m] Little girl, don't let them sell you any armor, all your ribs are still your [A]
own.
[B]
[C#m] Precious child, how lucky [A] you are.
[B] Hand it down [C#m] as shield for your [A] tempered heart.
The dark [B] doesn't fright me, [C#m] I chose to [E] close my eyes.
[A] It is mine, [C#m] it [B] is [A] mine.
And light [B] doesn't fright me, I [C#m] chose to let [E] it ride.
It [A] is mine, [C#m] it is [B] [A] mine.
The dark doesn't [B] fright [C#m] me, I chose to [E] close my eyes.
It is [A] mine, [C#m] [B] it is mine.
[A] And light [B] doesn't fright me, [C#m] I chose to [E] close my eyes.
It is [A] mine, [C#m]
it [B] is [A] mine.
