[F] I sit at your [E] table every [Am] night.
[Dm] I try, but I just don't get [G] high with you.
[C] I wish there was [G] a treaty we could [Am] sign.

[F] I wish there was a treaty [Fm] between your love [C] and mine.
[G] [F] Oh, they're dancing [Bb] in the street.
It's [F] jubilee.
We sold [Bb] ourselves for love, [F] but now we're free.
[A] I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you [Dm] be.
[D] [Bb] Only one of us was real, [E] and that [C] was me.
[G] [C] I haven't [G] said a word since [Am] you've been gone

[Bb] Only one of us was real, [E] and [C] that was me.
[G]
[C] I heard the [Bm] snake was baffled [Am] by his sin.
[C] He shed his [G] scales to find the [Am] snake within,
[F] but born again [E] is born [Am] without a skin.
[Dm] The poison enters into [C] everything,
[G]
[C] and I wish [G] there was a treaty [Am] we could sign.
[C] I do not [G] care who takes this [Am] bloody hill.
[F] I'm angry [E] and I'm tired [Am] of the town.
[Dm] I wish there was a treaty.
[F] I wish there was a treaty [Fm] between your [C] love and [G] mine.
