Manchester Orchestra – After The Scripture chords

Em          G       C               EmAfter the scripture, We started to pray
              G      C             EmHoldin' our hands up, Waitin' for change
          G       C                EmI hardly knew you, You knew me the same
               G                  C              EmSo we built a shelter, While we turned the weak away


Em, G, C, Em x2


Em             G      C               EmYour mother beside me, Rattlin' her brain
              G    C            EmMakin' an offering, Pacing the pain
            G     C              EmWe took a picture, Placed it in frame
            G            C               EmWe built a fire, And we turned the cold away


       C         G        D      EmAnd I know it's not what you desire
      C           G            D       EmThis pain can't crumble, Won't soon retire


Em, G, C, Em x2



D/F#      D                   C                 GEverybody there was trying to hide some great desire
D/F#         D              C                  GPut away the positives and let that good girl die
D/F#        D                     C             GEverybody's prayers were turned into a gradual sigh
      C                  G           DSo I paced around the backyard for a while


Em           G       C               EmThat was a bee sting, A speck in my eye
           G      C                 EmA casual movement, A thief in the night
               G       C             EmNow I can't forget you, Sword in my side
             G        C             EmCandle that burned me, Deliver me light


        C        G        D      EmAnd I know it's not what you desire
       C          G            D       EmThis pain can't crumble, Won't soon retire


Em, G, C, Em x2
