After the Scripture - Manchester Orchestra Tabbed by: oncenowagain Tuning: Half-step down , , , x2 After the scripture, We started to pray Holdin' our hands up, Waitin' for change I hardly knew you, You knew me the same So we built a shelter, While we turned the weak away , , , x2 Your mother beside me, Rattlin' her brain Makin' an offering, Pacing the pain We took a picture, Placed it in frame We built a fire, And we turned the cold away And I know it's not what you desire This pain can't crumble, Won't soon retire , , , x2 Everybody there was trying to hide some great desire Put away the positives and let that good girl die Everybody's prayers were turned into a gradual sigh So I paced around the backyard for a while That was a bee sting, A speck in my eye A casual movement, A thief in the night Now I can't forget you, Sword in my side Candle that burned me, Deliver me light And I know it's not what you desire This pain can't crumble, Won't soon retire , , , x2
