Intro: G#   F# 
 
 
G#           F#        G#                      F#         G# 
And what you found was gold, as black as dried blood 
              F#    G#                       F#        E 
The taste was oh so sweet, well one loves to love 
           F#                 E 
The whole idea seems unfit to rule, 
         F#          G# 
But it's always that way 
 
G#        F#           G#             F#           G# 
So supple sprouts take aim at a coincidental sun 
            F#              G#                       F#        E 
And careful hands tie their knots, in yarn until the dawn 
     F#             E 
No island, deserted land 
            F#       G# 
A heartless empire from 
        F#      G# 
What to want! 
 
F#   G#  whistling/Instrumental 
 
E 
          F#                    E 
Those who search, search by themselves 
        F#                E 
Leaving nothing to gain 
          F#              E 
Cast like stones into the night 
       F#            D 
We are one and the same 
 
D   C   Instrumental, end on A
