Murder And Crime
by Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine

Standard Tuning
No Capo
Bm Em F#m E7

[Verse 1]
Bm Em
Evidence known so long
F#m E7
Oh god, I'm lost in my wrongs
Bm Em
Everything froze like stone
F#m E7 G
Saw your heart couldn't take much more

[Chorus]
Em Bm A
My boy, I don't know why this life
G D F#m G
Is so cruel and unkind but it weighs on my heart
Em Bm A
All joys were taken from your eyes
G D F#m G
As the law would abide in murder and crime
Em Bm A
Hard lines as the fossil defines
G D F#m G
It's own shadow in lime and reveals how it dies
Bm G F#m E7

[Verse 2]
Bm G
If anything goes, then everything's flawed
F#m E7
Oh my love, what the violence has caused
Bm G
Malevolence flowed from beyond
F#m E7 G
And my heart cannot take much more

[Verse 3]
Em Bm A
Oh joy I'm afraid of the light
G D F#m G
As the jewel of my mind begins to fall apart
Em Bm A
Do not destroy what has taken it's time
G D F#m G
As the lord would abide in murder and crime

[Chorus]
Em Bm A
Oh my love, I don't know why this life
G D F#m G
Is so cruel and unkind but it weighs on my heart
