[Verse 1]
 D
They say the king of birds
 D
And the queen of hearts
                  G
Wore each other's keys
                                 D
Before they called the wedding off
D
And all the feathers rained down
D
And the town fell asleep
               G
Pulling on the poems
                  D
For the midnight sun
                G
Pulling on the poems
                  D
For the midnight sun

[Verse 2]
D
Yeah, she shook the ground (Shook the ground)
D
With every breath (Every breath)
                      G
Tossed his troubles aside (Troubles aside)
                        D
Made a shrine of every mess
D
Well, a woman appeared (Woman appeared)
D
With a guillotine smile (Guillotine smile)
                  G
She handed him a rose (Handed him a rose)
                   D
Then he turned to stone
                   G
She handed him a rose
                   D
And he turned to stone

[Verse 3]
D
Then they laid him in the creek
D
Where the river ran dry
                 G
To the mouth of wisdom
                D
And the end of doubt
D
Then the woman reappeared
D
With a blank spread smile
                 G
Took him by the rose
                   D
Then he turned to stone
                        G
Yeah, she handed him a rose
             D
Left him all alone

[Verse 4]
D
Well, they lifted the stone (The stone)
D
And they mapped the stars (The stars)
                  G
Brought back the keys (Keys)
                   D
And unlocked their hearts (Their hearts)
D
And the birds returned (The birds)
D
With songs in their eyes (Their eyes)
                  G
With maps to the world (The world)
        D
Never seen
                  G
With maps to the world
       D
Never seen
