lyrics

Lavender Lips capo 6
V1
F C G Am Am
When my blood runs black and my skin's cold as snow
and no one can tell me where my soul goes
I'll have secrets inside me
you'll never know
they'll hide in the dirt with my ashes and bones

V2
Sisters, and mothers, and lovers, and friends
Well, we all close our eyes one day in the end
When it's my time to meet the maker of men
Will I still be thinkin what might've been

CHORUS
C G F Am
Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die?
C G Am G
Give me your hand to hold
C G Em G
As I leave this world alone
C G F Am
And kiss my lavender lips when I die

V3
There's so many things that I never knew
But the one thing I knew: it was always you
But you can't save me when my heart's icy blue
Don't blame yourself for what you could never do

CHORUS
Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die.
Give me your hand to hold
As I leave this world alone
And kiss my lavender lips when I die

V4
It's all war and guns and fire
and every hope turns into useless desire
and Love, she's just a jealous liar
I'd rather burn up in a funeral pyre

CHORUS
C G F Am
Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die.
C G Am G
Give me your hand to hold
C G Em G
As I leave this world alone
C G Am G
Give me your hand to hold
C G Em G
As I leave this world alone
And kiss my lavender lips when I die
