Sufjan Stevens - Lady Macbeth In Chains

[Intro]
Gm Dm C

[Verse 1]
Gm
Open on Broadway, you’re a star
Gm C
Just an opportunist at heart
Gm
Evil hid in glitz and glamour
Gm C
Drunk like a potion harvester

[Pre-Chorus]
G Em G Em
All About Eve, cat up a tree
G Em G Em
Margo Channing, listen to me
B7 C
Don’t believe what she says
B7 C
When she sleeps in your head

[Chorus]
G Em
Now the two allegories of pity and terror
G Em
One for the money, for trial and error
G Em
Telling the story anointing its pleasure
G F
Lady Macbeth in chains

[Verse 2]
Gm
Once in a lifetime you’re a star
Gm C
A circus of light falling apart
Gm
Just as the flame is on the reservoir
Gm C
The darkness arises so much brighter

[Pre-Chorus]
G Em G Em
All About Eve, queen tragedy
G Em G Em
All that you need is a throne to receive
B7 C
Now go sleep in the bed
B7 C
That you made while she bled from her open wounds

[Chorus]
G Em
Two categories tell two different stories
G Em
One for ambition and one full of glory
G Em
Backstabbing feeds on its own inventory
G F
Lady Macbeth in chains
G F
Lady Macbeth in chains
