the parts that go from A to C# that is not reflected here.

Intro: C# F# x4
[C#]Both eyes drinking [F#]cool water,
Not the [A]first daughter so I [G#]can't see
Why you're [C#]wrestling with words at l[F#]ast,
A tra[C#]dition you've long out[F#]classed.
[C#]Come true for the [F#]new martyrs,
With your [A]hair parted like the [G#]Red Sea.
You're ad[C#]dressing the world from your be[F#]d,
All a[C#]lone in the crowd like you [A]said. [E]
Come [F#]true, it's only di[C#]vine right.
Come [F#]true, it's only di[C#]vine right.
C# A F# x2
[C#]Here's Leda in her [F#]white glory,
All her [A]back-story has been [G#]wiped clean.
Just a[C#]nother apocryphal m[F#]ess,
Never [C#]promised 'em anything l[F#]ess.
[C#]So come true, these are [F#]safe waters
For the [A]first daughter, so I[G#] can't see
Why you're [C#]pushing the pull that you've [F#]had,
While the [C#]rest of the girls go b[A]ad. [E]
Come t[F#]rue, it's only di[C#]vine right.
Come [F#]true, it's only di[C#]vine right.
C# A F# x2
A C# x2
[C#]Slip back [F#]through the plot
For the [B]new shock, seeing us[G#] then,
When we were the [F#]real pe[G#]ople,
We were the [F#]real p[G#]eople.
[C#]Slip back [F#]through the plot
For the [B]new shock, seeing us[G#] then,
When we were the [F#]real pe[G#]ople,
We were the [F#]real p[G#]eople.
C# F# x4
[C#]Face down in the[F#] old money,
Left the[A] crowd wondering what your[G#] next move's
Gonna [C#]be in the moments a[F#]head,
While the [C#]rest of the girls go b[A]ad. [E]
Come t[F#]rue, it's only di[C#]vine right.
Come t[F#]rue, it's only di[C#]vine right.
C# A F# x2
A C# x2
[C#]Slip back [F#]through the plot
For the [B]new shock, seeing us[G#] then,
When we were the [F#]real pe[G#]ople,
We were the [F#]real p[G#]eople.
[C#]Slip back [F#]through the plot
For the [B]new shock, seeing us[G#] then,
When we were the [F#]real pe[G#]ople,
We were the [F#]real p[G#]eople.
A C# (repeat several times)
