Song

The tab stays the same throughout the whole song. To figure out the picking pattern just listen to the cd.
Verse 1:
Ophelia drowned in the water
Crushed by her own weight
Hitler loved little blue-eyed boys
And it drove him to hate
Birds always grow silent before the night descends
?Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend
Verse 2:
A hero's torso built of steel and Novocain
His heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame
There was a hole inside his soul a manicure could not fill
So he found himself a whore to love
While daises choked in the window sill
Chorus:
We've made houses for hatred
It's time we made a place
Where people's souls may be seen and made safe
Be careful with each other, these fragile flames
For innocence can't be lost, it just needs to be maintained
Verse 3:
A small town in Ohio
Two boys are filled with violence
And darkness spreads its legs for hate and ignorance
We are given to a god to put our faith therein
But to be forgiven, we must first believe in sin
Chorus
Bridge:
  
  
  
  
Verse 4:
I want to live bravely and love without fear
I want to always feel the wings of grace near
We all will be Christed when we hear ourselves say
We are that to which we pray
Chorus 2x
