G#m C#m
(muted) G#m
Oh and God, just leave that Abraham alone
C#m
He wants a son, he wants a son
Everybody wants a home
G#m
Though I’m not quite sure if poor Isaac would agree
C#m
“My God,” he said, “what did I do
to make you wanna watch me bleed?”
G#m
And I feel sick tonight, I feel just like
The dancing flame on a funeral light
C#m
And I’m not sure if I want you to save me
G#m
And I’d be less uptight
if I knew the sight of blood
was just a weakness
C#m
And not the whole reason
that you made me
G#m
Cause sometimes I think it is
G#m C#m
G#m
Oh and God, just go and leave me all alone
C#m
I’m not your son, I’m not your son
Everybody dies alone
G#m
Was this world just not quite hard enough for you
C#m
I guess like anyone you’ve got
Your own scores to settle too
G#m
And I’m so pissed tonight, I feel just like
The last remaining Canaanite
C#m
And I don’t think that I will be returning
G#m
And if you wanna see the irony
And the savage price of piety
C#m
There’s a lot of us who are going to be burning
G#m
How does it feel?
G#m C#m
E
And the sorrow that I know
B
when I’m alone, I can’t express
E B
All these darling angels singing in my ear
E
And the comfort of their touch,
B
it cuts right through this emptiness
F# G#m
And it’s everything I want and everything I fear
C#m
But I don’t fear God!
G#m C#m
Hoooooooo x2
E
That child was my friend
B
I spent a long time with his curse
E B
I can feel him trembling beneath his plea
E
I don’t know if there is water
B
All I know is there’s this thirst
F#
And it might be for the best
G#m
Though I’m not quite sure if Isaac would agree
