[Verse 1]
G
Tear it down,
Em G
tear it down around my head
Em G
I need you to bury this beneath my bed
[Chorus]
Em Cmaj7 G
The crows in the garden are laughing at my expense
Em Cmaj7
Drowning out all the lies that I might have told
G
instead
[Verse 2]
Em
My stone, my shield, my steady hand
G Em G
Hold your light to the darkness in my head
[Chorus]
Em
Put your ear to my heart or set
Cmaj7 G
Your teeth against my throat
Em Cmaj7
Give me something pretty to wear
G
Beneath my bloodstained clothes
C#m7b5 Cmaj7 Em
My darling, the devil knows my name
[Interlude]
G
Oh
[Verse 3]
Em G
Lay me down,
Em G
pour the dirt into our bed
Em G
Tell the crows they can have their pound of flesh
[Chorus]
Em Cmaj7 G
The ghosts at the window echo all our quiet prayers
Em
When they come for us,
Cmaj7 G
they'll come with hammers and nails
C#m7b5 Cmaj7 Em
My darling, the devil knows my name
[Interlude]
G
My name
Em G
My name
[Solo]

Get on your knees and dig up the garden
G
Won't you throw down that spade and
Dig up the garden, darling?
Em C
Get your hands dirty and rip up the garden
G Dsus4/F# Em
Won't you cut down that apple tree for me?
