Husk

      C                   Fmaj7
You were brave as a chessboard queen
                            Am
But the shoe didn’t fit your feet
          Fmaj7                       C      C7
Cover the mouth of the Earth’s great cough
Am              Fmaj7            C
You can’t always get what you want

                           Fmaj7
So you lie in the driveway snow
                               Am
'Til you’re white as a bed sheet ghost
              Fmaj7                 C     C7
Bathed in the light of a star long dead
Am        Fmaj7          C
No one can tell how it ends

         Am
If you’re blind to love
             F
Why don't you say it, love?
           C
It doesn’t amount to much
         Em
You're a grail without the blood
         Am
If you’re blind to me
           F
Why do you say you see?
            C
Shouldn’t it always be
G
Clear to us?
C

                           Fmaj7
Did you carve out a place in the world?
                           Am
Were your white little bones of a bird
              Fmaj7                     C          C7
Crushed like a husk in the Great Deceiver's mouth?
Am        Fmaj7         C
I hope it’s all working out

                Am
Cause if you’re blind to love
              F
You shouldn’t try to love
              C
It doesn’t amount to much
          Em
You're a holy with no ghost
              Am
And if you’re blind to me
           F
Why do you try to see?
              C
Shouldn’t it always be
G
Obvious?

F                         A
Proud like a hunter with a bow
Am                      C
Cowed like a prisoner below
         F
I don’t sleep so well
       Bb             Am      G          F
I woke up here on the crowded seats of a bus
Am  G   Am
I was a husk
