[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
