The Man With The Axe

Capo: 2nd fret [Verse 1] G D If I had to break it down F#m G I'd say it's the way you love to dance Em7-5 D Bm Movin' the furniture when my back is turned A7 N.C. The flick of the lights and the world falls away Chorus G D And your office job and your silver hair F#m G Em7-5 But our shapes in the dark are the reason I've stayed for all these years [Verse 2] G D F#m I thought I was a genius, but now I'm twenty-two G Em7-5 D And it's startin' to feel like all I know how to do is Bm A Put on a suit and take it away Chorus G D With my fistful of tunes that it's painful to play F#m G Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells Em7-5 D Bm A7 They fill up my nights and then they float away [Verse 3] G D I've got hundreds of gowns, I've got paintings in frames F#m G And a throat that fills with panic every festival day Em7-5 D Bm A7 Dutifully fallin' apart for the Princess of Norway Chorus G D F#m G But you, with your doll's lashes, your infinite t-shirts Em7-5 D Bm I should've known when your favorite record was the same as my father's A7 You'd take me down [Verse 4] G D I guess I'll always be this way F#m G Swallowed up by the words, and halfway to space Em7-5 D Bm But there, by the fire, you offered your hand A7 And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan Chorus E A E A You felled me clean as a pine E A C7 D7 E The man with the axe and the lo- ok in his eyes [Break] E / A E / A Outro E A We've been through so many hard times E A I'm writin' a love song for you, baby E / A / E
