Intro:

------

Bb, Eb

Verse:

------

I caught sight of my reflection

Bb Eb

I caught it in the window

Bb

I saw the darkness in my heart

Eb

I saw the signs of my undoing

Bb

They had been there from the start

Eb

And the darkness still has work to do

Bb

The knotted chord's untying

Eb

The heated and the holy

Bb

Oh they're sitting there on high

Eb

So secure with everything they're buying

Bb Eb

Chorus:

-------

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man

Ab Eb Bb Cm

With the man in the woman and the woman in the man

Ab Eb Bb Cm

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man

Ab Eb Bb Cm

We wanted the the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

Ab Eb Bb Ab/Bb Bb Fm/Bb Eb

...........

Bb Eb

[verse]

My grip is surely slipping

I think I've lost my hold

Yes I think I've lost my hold

I cannot get insurance any more

They don't take credit, only gold

Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see

You hold so tightly in your hand

And all the while the distance grows between you and me

I do not understand

[chorus]

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man

With the man in the woman and the woman in the man

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man

We wanted the the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

Ab Eb Bb Ab/Bb Bb Fm/Bb Cm

Bridge:

-------

At my request you take me in

Cm Cm/Ab Bb Bb/G Cm/Ab

In that tenderness I am floating away

Cm Cm/Ab Bb Bb/G Cm/Ab Cm

No certainty, nothing to rely on

Cm/Ab Bb Bb/G Cm/Ab

Holding still for a moment

Cm Cm/Ab Bb Bb/G Cm/Ab

What a moment this is

F

Oh for a moment of forgetting

Cm/Ab

A moment of bliss

F

Oh....

Eb Bb, Eb

[verse]

I can hear the distant thunder

Of a million unheard souls

Of a million unheard souls

Watch each one reach for creature comfort

For the filling of their holes

[chorus]

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man

I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man

I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man

Ab Eb Bb Cm

In the blood of Eden we have done everything we can

In the blood of Eden, so we end as we began

With the man in the woman and the woman in the man

It was all for the union, oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

Ab Eb Bb Ab/Bb Bb Fm/Bb Cm
