[C#m]The fragile keep secrets gathered in pockets
And they'll [G#]sell them for nothing, a cheap watch or locket
That [E]kind of gold washes off[C#m]
And the [C#m]sad look like lepers, on stretchers in shadows
They want to [G#]ring bells of warning to tell of their coming
So that the [E]pure can shut their doors[C#m]
And the [C#m]angry are animals, all senseless and savage
They [G#]act without order, in logical lapses
They [E]stain their mouths with blood[C#m]
So [F#m]take my hand, this barren land is a[C#m]live tonight
Oh, the [F#m]corn has grown stalks that form a [C#m]wall
The wind [F#m]carries sounds that I can't see from be[C#m]yond that line
Then the [B]stalks [A]begin to [G#]sway
Oh, [C#m]stay with me, [B]Ar[A]ie[G#]nette
Until the wolves are a[C#m]way
[A] [G#] [C#m] [A] [G#]
Well the [C#m]wicked are vultures, they bake in the canyons
They'll [G#]circle in sunlight and wait for their victims
To co[E]llapse and call to them[C#m] (I'm over here, I'm over here)
And the [C#m]desperate are water, they'll just keep running forever
And [G#]soak into silence and lay down together
In a [E]dark and distant, deep dark and distant [C#m]place
So don't [F#m]leave me here with only mirrors [C#m]watching me
This [F#m]house, it is nothing now but a [C#m]memory
And the [F#m]moon, she leaves me silver but [C#m]never never sleep
And then the [B]silver [A]turns to [G#]gray
So [C#m]stay with me, [B]Ar[A]ie[G#]nette
Until the wolves are [C#m]away
