Verse 1:
E5  Cmaj7
 Her skin glowed green and blue
Asus2    Cmaj7        E5
 The starry sky dimmed by fiery hues
     Cmaj7          Asus2
My white dress blew in midnight's view
       N.C.
Of the world reborn, begun anew

Em       Cmaj7       Asus2
 Two thousand years and twenty more
        Cmaj7        E5
And she looked beautiful as ever before
    Cmaj7           Asus2
As she pushed me down into the warm
   B7             B7/13-
Water deep below my clothes were torn


Pre-Chorus
Em      C
 Lilith you siren
A        C
 How could you do this to me?
Em      C
 Lilith I'm dyin'
A        B7
 Why won't you set me free?



Em               C
 I tried to scream but lilies clouded my mind
A              C
 The petals softly floating into my eyes
Em              C
 I felt your fingers slowly crawl up my spine
A              B7
 We didn't have to sink for you to be mine


Verse 2:
Em  Cmaj7
 Her eyes were as red as dawn
Asus2  Cmaj7
 As she held me down under the pond
E5     Cmaj7
 Fireworks filled the sky beyond
Asus2     Bsus4       Em/B
 I heard the cheers from above the lawn

Em   Cmaj7
 Soft hands brushed through my thighs
Asus2   Cmaj7           E5
 You were evil everyone else had realized
       Cmaj7               Asus2
Thought I was different thought I'd save your soul
           B7            B7/13-
Guess you can't save what isn't half of a whole


Pre-Chorus
Em      C
 Lilith you siren
A        C
 How could you do this to me?
Em      C
 Lilith I'm dyin'
A        B7
 Why won't you set me free?



Em               C
 I tried to scream but lilies clouded my mind
A              C
 The petals softly floating into my eyes
Em                C
I felt your hands as they wrapped around my neck
A               B7
When did our love become this shallow shipwreck?


Bridge:
Em              C
Two thousand years and twenty more and I thought
   Asus2         C
I was weaker than I had ever been before
    Em            C
But the moonlight's rays hit the water below
      Asus2            C
and it was now or never to swim to the garden and oh,
    Em           C
Did she push and pull tryin' to get me to drown
    Asus2           C
But the lilies in my mind began to run aground
   Em             C
As I gripped and dragged myself along the dirt
    Asus2               C
I turned back to face the girl I loved for all of my hurt
     Em           C
Said ?my dear this is it, I have got to go?
    Asus2            B
And she faded in the deep and murky water below


Pre-Chorus
Em      C
 Lilith you siren
A        C
 How could you do this to me?
Em      C
 Lilith I'm cryin'
A       B7
 My pain will stay with me

Em      C
 Lilith you siren (I tried to scream but lilies clouded my mind)
A       C
 You were so cruel and so mean (The petals softly floating into my eyes)
Em      C
 Lilith I'm tryin' (I felt your hands as they wrapped around my neck)
A       B7
 To love life now that I'm free


End:
Em
