Verse 1:

           D

Ophelia drowned in the water

           D

Crushed by her own weight

               C

Hitler loved little blue-eyed boys

          C

And it drove him to hate

                    D

Birds always grow silent before the night descends

       D                                             G

?Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend

Verse 2:

           D

A hero's torso built of steel and Novocain

             D

His heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame

                  C                              D

There was a hole inside his soul a manicure could not fill

            D

So he found himself a whore to love

                             G

While daises choked in the window sill

Chorus:

       D               C          

We've made houses for hatred

       G

It's time we made a place

         D      C              G

Where people's souls may be seen and made safe

    D             C           G

Be careful with each other, these fragile flames

     D         C                      D       C     G

For innocence can't be lost, it just needs to be maintained

Verse 3:

A small town in Ohio

Two boys are filled with violence

And darkness spreads its legs for hate and ignorance

We are given to a god to put our faith therein

But to be forgiven, we must first believe in sin

Chorus

Bridge:

  A   G

  A   G

  A   G

  A   G

Verse 4:

I want to live bravely and love without fear

I want to always feel the wings of grace near

We all will be Christed when we hear ourselves say

We are that to which we pray

Chorus 2x
