[Intro]
Gm F Dm D#

[Verse 1]
Gm F
Let’s admire the pattern forming
Dm D#
Murderous filigree
Gm F Dm D#
I’m caught in the twisting of the vine
Gm F Dm
Go ascend with ivy, climbing
D# Gm F Dm D#
Ignore and leave for me the headstone crumbling behind

[Chorus]
A# Cm Gm
I can’t help my laughter as she cries!
F A# Cm Gm D# A#
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes!

[Break]
Gm Gm
Oh

[Verse 2]
F Dm
Let’s amend the classic story,
D#
Close it so beautifully,
Gm F Dm D#
I’ll let animosity unwind
Gm F Dm
Steal away the darkened pages,
D#
Hidden so shamefully
Gm
I’ll still feel
F Dm D#
The violence of the lines

[Chorus]
A# Cm Gm
I can’t help my laughter as she cries!
F A# Cm Gm D# A#
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes!
A# Cm Gm
And miles away my mother cries!
F A# Cm Gm D#
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence.

My soul brings tears to angelic eyes!
A# Cm Gm
And miles away my mother cries!
F A# Cm Gm D#
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence.
