[Intro]: A E B C#m
A E
Climbed out the window and stared at the stars
B C#m
But the moment I wanted had already passed
A E B C#m
Lost in the silence, blessed by the night
A E B C#m
Dreamed I saw soldiers; they were all dressed in white
A
All dressed in white
[Instrumental]: A E B C#m (x2)
A E
Well, the summer came late, so I slept here for days
B C#m
'Til Winter was over and my heart could be saved
A E B C#m
I walked for a lifetime and I climbed in a hole
A E B C#m
She had breasts on the outside, she had breath in her soul
A
Death in her soul
[Instrumental]
A E
Placed in a bottle and flung out to sea
B C#m
I was stung by the thought that the ship was now me
A E B C#m
Lost in the silence, blessed by the night
A E B C#m
I dreamed I saw soldiers; they were all dressed in white
A
All dressed in white
[Instrumental]
A E
A fellow by nature, I fell for a way
B C#m
That would shake me all over and spin me around
A E B C#m
Twisted my feelings 'til I nearly drowned
A E B C#m
It was love at first sight the first time around
A
Time around
[Instrumental]
A E
We stared at the walls 'til we lost all the dawn
B C#m
Waiting for words, I said, "I've been cursed by your love.”
A E B C#m
Crying for shame
A E B C#m
So what has become of our love?
A
Of our love?
[Instrumental]
A E
Now all the neighbors have stolen my stash
B C#m
I write poems about death; I ain't finished one yet
A E B C#m
Lost in the silence, blessed by the night
A E B C#m
I dreamed I saw soldiers; they were all dressed in white
A
All dressed in white
