[Verse 1] (0:13 - 0:51)

Bm
All dark effects I'd long withstood
Upon my room advanced
D
The moving shade of Birnam Wood
A
Disguised by broken branch

Bm
I struck firm the hollow of your thigh
                           D
Withheld my name, yet from determined hold I could not fly;
A
Though every tendon came undone

[Chorus] (0:51 - 1:17)

D                     F#m
Would you take a bound-up Isaac's place?
                           A
Are you a God, and shall your grace
Grow weary of your saints?
D                   F#m
Or prefer the father's dreadful fate?
                           A
Are you a God, and shall your grace
Grow weary of your saints?
D  F#m A
(Though every tendon came undone
Safe in the arms of the kingdom come)

[Verse 2] (1:31 - 1:53)

Bm
Floodwater filled your formless birth
A column cloud descends
D
Your of sorrow must not be measured by his worth
A
For then it hath no end
Bm
Yet may my heart in tune be found
In four-shape notes from underground
D
And can we not call it a nervous breakdown,
A
My nervous system breaking down?

Would you take a bound-up Isaac's place?

Are you a God, and shall your grace
Grow weary of your saints?
D                   F#m
Steady is a knife held sure by faith
                           A
Are you a God, and shall your grace
Grow weary of your saints?
D
Riding in a westbound railcar
F#m
They'll dump you in the Highgate Graveyard
A
They'll dump you in the Highgate Graveyard
D    F#m
(Poison in the teacup graveyard
A
alpha radiation graveyard)
