Chords
[Start with main riff]
LAm FA LAm FA
Desert rat cry me wolf, shedding skin upon your lips
LAm SOL FA SOL LAm SOL FA FA MIm REm
I pray, for the love of madness, for the hand that takes the grip
DO FA DO FA
And we close our eyes, to forgive and forget
DO FA DO FA
And we close our eyes, to forgive and forget
LAm SOL FA REm
With bated breath for the kingdom come
Am G F Dm Am [with main riff]
With bated breath for the kingdom come
[Next verse/chorus as above]
I build myself a brave asylum
And ask all the madmen to play host
And when the colours all fade away
It's time for us to give the ghost
Give up the ghost
And we close our eyes
To dream a while
And we close our eyes
To dream a while
Dream a while
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
[Instrumental - Play Am G F Dm sequence]
[Play verse/chorus as first verse/chorus]
And while we're talking in tongues
Of animal behaviour
With a flick of the wrist you could've broken my heat
And done yourself a favour
And I cry in the heat
For the promised and given
The hand I once would trust
Now for the love of heaven
You won't see me
See me for dust
And we close our eyeas
To love again
And we close our eyes
To love again
Love again
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
[End on Am]
