I Like The Devil

                C             Cm
Mother laid her elbows on the bed
               Dm
Whispering the wishes to the threads
               Cm
Weaving in the weight of all our dread
Gm            Dm
Wiping up the stains of our regret
        Bb        Cm
Heal her hands by kneading up the bread
                 Dm
Cleaning off her fingers as she wept
                Cm
Lurk within her gleaming silhouette
                Dm          D
Then seal in our wonder to ferment


[Chorus]
Eb F                    Dm  Eb
I, like the devil, can fly
                    F            Eb
And I read her sweet mind last night, and
    F              Dm  Eb
I, like God, can fly
             F                       Cm  C  Dm
And I held a candle over her fright

         
[Verse 2]
             Cm
What is happiness but a word
Gm             D
Spoken from on high for what it's worth
Bb                C
Flown beneath the wings of little birds
                    Dm
But I have felt the wind crawl where we're cursed
               Eb     F             Dm   Eb
Find us in the folded parts she pressed
         Ebm    F               Dm   Eb
Lying in positions, like we've slept
                  F             Dm   Eb
Find us in the hallows of her chest
          Gm   F
Lying in positions, like we've slept

[Chorus]
Eb  F                   Dm  Eb
I, like the devil, can fly
           F           Dm  Eb
And I read her sweet mind last night, and
     F             Dm  Eb
I, like God, can fly
       F             D           Bb
And I held a candle over her fright


[Outro]
Eb            F          Dm  Eb  F
I, like the devil, can fly
