The Song That I Heard

D (vamp) C# G# D# Fm C# G# D# C# G# D# Fm C# G# D# G# G# C# G# D# Fm In the same reckless city where great Antonio died C# G# D# On the island in the river with a mountain at its side C# G# D# Fm I came to scatter ashes of the bridges I've burned C# G# D# Fm And I know the name of the song that I heard C# G# D# G# Yeah, I know the name of the song I heard C# G# D# Fm Like a moonlight mathematician I subtracted my concerns C# G# D# And I multiplied my options and divided my returns C# G# D# Fm Sacrificed the angel who was tugging at my shirt C# G# D# Fm I was already claimed by the song that I heard C# G# D# G# Yeah, already chained to the song that I heard C# G# D# Fm From the corner of my eye I caught the shadow of a girl C# G# D# But my shoes were tied together and my face was in the dirt C# G# D# Fm Her gentle eyes said everything before she said a word C# G# D# Fm And I knew I was changed by the song that I heard C# G# D# G# Yeah, I knew right away by the song I heard C# G# D# Fm In the cult of desperation he stayed just behind the curve C# G# D# And no one here admits we're getting more than we deserve C# G# D# Fm I was born a first child, she was born a third C# G# D# Fm We were already named by the songs that we heard C# G# D# G# Yeah, already claimed by the songs we heard C# G# D# Fm Did I make you out a Phoenix from the ashes of a bird? C# G# D# Did we build our palace and watch it as it burned? C# G# D# Fm It's kind of like a lesson that had to be unlearned C# G# D# Fm Like a fool maker, Fall-taker, Forsaker, Heartbreaker C# G# D# Fm Earthquaker, Soul-shaker, Soothsayer, Moon prayer C# G# D# Fm Sun slayer, Yeasayer, Mistaker, Rattlesnaker C# G# D# G# We are already changed by the songs we heard
