Bat For Lashes - Lilies

^EAgain tonight I sang a^B song, ^C#ma prayer if you will^{E E}Fell to the floor on bla^Bckened knees, and a^C#mll the trees fell s^Etill ^EPressed my hands between my^B thighs, ^C#mand poured the thistle ^Emilk ^EBegged the thunderbolts t^Bo strike ^C#mand mark me as a^Elive

^EOh the lilies ^Bon the hill ^EOh the lilies ^Bon the hill ^EOh the lilies ^Bon the hill ^C#mScented the nig^Eht

^EAnd so I finished up m^By prayer, ^C#mrose slowly and I star^Eed ^EBut I was empty as a g^Brave ^C#mand ghostless was the ^Bair ^ELay back to bed and du^Blled my eyes ^C#mand searched those fru^G#mitless skies ^EAgain begged the thunderbolt ^Bto strike ^Eto mark me or else I woul^C#md die

^EOh the lilies ^Bon the hill ^EOh the lilies ^Bon the hill ^EOh the lilies ^Bon the hill ^C#mScented the nig^Eht

^EAnd in the second before ^BI sleep ^EAnd in the second before ^BI sleep ^EDid I believe what I did ^Bsee? ^C#mDid I believe what came ^G#mto me?

^EAppeared a figure of ^Ba man, ^C#mwaving upon the ^G#mhill ^ETo the window I r^Ban ^C#mand saw what he h^G#mad sent ^EChildren of a private^B world, ^C#mto be conceived in ^Emilk ^EA hundred marching to m^By door ^C#mAll bringing dreams to ^Edrink

^EThank God I'm alive! ^EThank God I'm alive!

^EOh the lilies ^Bon the hill ^C#mOh the lilies o^G#mn the hill ^EOh the lilies ^Bon the hill ^C#mScented the nig^Eht
