[Verse 1]
D       G             D         A           Bm
In the same reckless city where great Antonio died
        G               D          A
On the island in the river with a mountain at its side
    G              D            A           Bm
I came to scatter ashes of the bridges I've burned
        G       D           A           Bm
And I know the name of the song that I heard
        G       D           A        D
Yeah, I know the name of the song I heard

[Verse 2]
        G               D         A            Bm
Like a moonlight mathematician I subtracted my concerns
        G               D           A
And I multiplied my options and divided my returns
    G           D               A            Bm
Sacrificed the angel who was tugging at my shirt
        G       D           A           Bm
I was already claimed by the song that I heard
        G       D            A           D
Yeah, already chained to the song that I heard

[Verse 3]
        G               D         A            Bm
From the corner of my eye I caught the shadow of a girl
        G               D           A
But my shoes were tied together and my face was in the dirt
    G           D               A            Bm
Her gentle eyes said everything before she said a word
    G           D               A            Bm
And I knew I was changed by the song that I heard
        G          D            A     D
Yeah, I knew right away by the song I heard

[Verse 4]
        G               D         A            Bm
In the cult of desperation he stayed just behind the curve
        G               D           A
And no one here admits we're getting more than we deserve
    G           D               A            Bm
I was born a first child, she was born a third
    G           D               A            Bm
We were already named by the songs that we heard
        G          D            A     D
Yeah, already claimed by the songs we heard

[Verse 5]
        G              D              A          Bm
Did I make you out a Phoenix from the ashes of a bird?
        G         D          A
Did we build our palace and watch it as it burned?
        G               D         A            Bm
It's kind of like a lesson that had to be unlearned

[Verse 6]
        G          D           A         Bm
Like a fool maker, Fall-taker, Forsaker, Heartbreaker
G             D           A           Bm
Earthquaker, Soul-shaker, Soothsayer, Moon prayer
G            D         A        Bm
Sun slayer, Yeasayer, Mistaker, Rattlesnaker
        G      D               A       D
We are already changed by the songs we heard
