The Crooked, The Cradle

[Intro] Am  C  G  F

          Am
There's blood in the water
           C
There's blood in the water
      G                   F
The quiet are restless, the silent are still

    Am
I'm nobody's daughter
      C
I'm nobody's daughter
      G                     F
My enemies crawl, we're alone with the kill

 F
If mercy's abound
   C
I'll be safe, I'll be sound
         Am                       G
And the devil won't know all the love I just couldn't let go
   F
I won't pretend
   C
My season won't end
       Am
But I pray
                                    G
When it's done, when it's through, I'll have something left for you

( F  C  Am  G )

  Am
The noble are weary
  C
The noble are weary
   G                            F
This cradle still burns like a hole in my chest

  Am
Can anyone hear me?
   C
Can anyone hear me?
      G                      F
The crooked are smiling, they know me the best

   F
If mercy's abound
    C
I'll be safe, I'll be sound
   Am                             G
And the devil won't know all the love I just couldn't let go
    F
I won't pretend
   C
My season won't end
   Am
But I pray
                                   G
When it's done, when it's through, I'll have something left for you

( F  C  Am  G )
( F  C  Am  G )

If mercy's abound

I'll be safe, I'll be sound
                          G
And the devil won't know all the love I just couldn't let go
 F
I won't pretend
  C
My season won't end
   Am
But I pray
                          G
When it's done, when it's through, I'll have something left for you

( Am )
