The Tall Shadow From Saint Malo

Dm  C  Bbmaj7

[Verse 1]
Dm                 C                     Bbmaj7
Well boy, what you borrow, you will soon beg.
    Dm                                 C                     Bbmaj7
And pretty soon they’re gonna pay your alms and both of your legs.
   Dm                    C
So bring the destroyers, bring the little death,
Dm                                  Bbmaj7
Circle those ships around mercurial sects.
    Dm         C                         Bbmaj7
How cruel… the violence of loving what’s left.

[Chorus]
           F                             C
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, such a curios lover.
    Dm                         F             C
But what my trouble loves only turns me into rubble.
  F                           C
Below the baseboard comes the scream from the gallows.
   Dm                             F
It flickers on the wall, the tall shadow from Saint Malo.
F                               Dm
The tall shadow from Saint Malo.

[Verse 2]
Dm            C              Bbmaj7
Now it stands forever in the doorway.
    Dm                      C                      Bbmaj7
The uninvited guests in the mirror, and all of the frames.
Dm                         C
All the manic pleasure, to all the pleasured pain.
Dm                     Bb
All the tears made for another give away.
Dm                     C                  Bbmaj7
How cruel, the need to destroy again and again.

[Chorus]
           F                             C
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, such a curios lover.
    Dm                         F             C
But what my trouble loves only turns me into rubble.
  F                           C
Below the baseboard comes the scream from the gallows.
   Dm                             F
It flickers on the wall, the tall shadow from Saint Malo.
F                               Dm
The tall shadow from Saint Malo.

[Chorus]
           F                             C
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, such a curios lover.
    Dm                         F             C
But what my trouble loves only turns me into rubble.
  F                           C
Below the baseboard comes the scream from the gallows.
   Dm                             F
It flickers on the wall, the tall shadow from Saint Malo.
F                               Dm
The tall shadow from Saint Malo.

[Chorus 2]
           Bb                            Dm
Well then, boil, bubble, trouble, such a curios lover.
    Am                         Dm
But what my trouble loves only turns me into rubble.
  Bb                          F
Below the baseboard comes the scream from the gallows.
   Am                             Dm
It flickers on the wall, the tall shadow from Saint Malo.

[Chorus 3]
Bb                   Dm
Come down destroyer, tie them to the chair.
Am              Dm
In the Mimizan, revolution’s in the air.
  Bb                            F
Below the ship’s hull comes the grinding of the shallows,
Am                            Dm
Working in the mess, the tall shadow from Saint Malo
