[Intro]
| Em | C D |
| Em | C Bm |

[Verse 1]
Em C D
And then the words were coming back, it was gonna get ugly and so
Em C Bm
I kissed his garments and sat silent while he spoke
Em C D
For holy men use words only to teach how to let go
Em C Bm
How a pure mind takes emptiness as its form
Em C D
And you look down that dragon spine and you hold on
Em C Bm
Hanging on that cliff, terrified, your voice might fall

[Bridge]
Em Em
And drag you with it, yeah
E Em
Just quiet your mind, quiet your mind

[Verse 2]
Em C D
Oh, I was young and what was meant to bring me closer to death as I recall
Em C Bm
Made me just a little short of breath, that's all
Em C D
And so I held on to my fear, to red dust as I crawled
Em C Bm
Naked and bleeding, across the temple floor
Em C D
Such are the visions we collect to console
Em C Bm
Ourselves about the present day, about the modern soul

[Outro]
Em C D
Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me
Em C Bm
Lord, have mercy, have mercy on me
Em C D
Lord, have mercy, have mercy on me
Em C Bm
Lord, have mercy, have mercy on me
