I know that I will have you in the end

in a shack as remote as a mansion

you escape into a place where nothing moves
[Verse 2]

And I've been locked out

and I know we're through

I waited so long

for the walls to crack
A E
but I know that I will one day have you back
[Chorus]
B
And the hills
A
are as soft as a pillow

when I look through my window

for the living and the dead

but I know that I will one day have you back (yes, I will)
[Chorus]
B
And I work
A
like bees in the honey

every night I circle like the moon

it's an act
A
of simple devotion

but it can take forever when you've got something to prove
[Outro]
D C#m
And I've been locked out
D C#m
And I've been locked out

I've been locked out....

So they were told when the moon would rise,
C D
The best time to leave with your soul,
G
She's gone, up towards the light,
C D Dm
Watching her whole life unfold, ohh
Cadd9 Gm D
Bruises come up dark.
[Verse 4]
D G
So strong was his hold on her,

Regarded by some as his slave,
G
He spoke as in a strangers tongue,
C D Dm
To scare us and drive you away, eh
Cadd9 Gm
Bruises come up dark.
