The Lumineers - Nightshade

^EmSome of us love to think of life as a game ^COthers are born into royalty and can never behave ^ASome find a freedom locking men in a cage, oh no ^EmSome priest insisted it's a test of the faith ^CAnd only holy devotion can keep the devils away ^AThere's only so much that a man can pray, oh n^Emo

^COh my love ^AOh my love ^{Em C}Spare my blood ^ASpare my blood ^Em

^EmI saw the footprints in the white of the snow ^CI counted thousands and I was just a rider alone ^A18 degrees and 80 miles from home, oh no

^EmWe built a wall to keep the devils at bay ^CA distant army was marching through the night and the day ^AI swore an oath and with my life I would pay, oh no

^COh my love ^AOh my love^{Em C}Spare my blood

^CNightshade won't you take me away^A And I could hold my^Em breath for another day ^A But it was all, ^Cit was all, for^A the throne ^Em

^EmWe were surrounded and the ending was near ^CAll of the sudden a ranger arrived, a savior appeared ^AMade it to safety but the devil was here, oh no

^CNightshade won't you take me aw^Aay And I could ^Emhold my breath for another da^Ay But it was all^C, it was all, fo^Ar the throne^Em
