Intro: E G#m E G#m B Dm D#m 

   
D#m                E                          B                  
There's a hunger in the air and lemons swollen in the trees 
D#m  D#m7              E            C#m        G#m     E         A7/G        F#   
When shadows fall across the moon, I strain my ears towards the breeze 
D#m                E                      B               
A wasted summer listening, secluded as a cemetery 
D#m                E                  C#m      G#m     E     A7          
Withered limbs under the sand for an hourglass eternity 

B           C#m            G#m  
You hung an albatross around my neck 
B                  C#m             G#m              
When you needed to knock me on the head and say 
G              F# 
"No! No! No! No!" 

D#m               E             A                   B           
Jackal legs and kangal dogs are cloaked in darkest forestry 
D#m              E                C#m        G#m      E       A7/G 
A woman dangles from a bridge on a thread of silver mercury 

B          C#m            G#m  
You hung an albatross around my neck 
B                  C#m             G#m               
When you needed to knock me on the head and say 
G             F# 
"No! No! No! No!" 

              B           C#m      G#m                  
I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed 
B                C#m              B/D#           
I need a body to knock me on the head and say 
Em            E      
"No! No! No! No!"

D#m               E                               B                  
I saw a feathered silhouette on the crest of unforgiving waves 
D#m              E                                B    C#     F# 
It hovered over salty air and I couldn't tear my eyes away 
D#m                   E             A              B          
And somewhere in between the lines I drifted into fantasy 
D#m                 E             G          E          A7/G       
But you're the only open book, a portal to a star-crossed sea 


(B)        (C#m)         (G#m)  
You hung an albatross around my neck 
(B)                (C#m)          (G#m)

"No! No! No! No!" 


              B           C#m      G#m              
I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed 
B               C#m              B/D#        G 
I need a body to knock me on the head and say...
