Innocence Maintained by Jewel Kilcher The tab stays the same throughout the whole song. To figure out the picking pattern just listen to the cd. Verse 1: D Ophelia drowned in the water D Crushed by her own weight C Hitler loved little blue-eyed boys C And it drove him to hate D Birds always grow silent before the night descends D G ?Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend Verse 2: D A hero's torso built of steel and Novocain D His heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame C D There was a hole inside his soul a manicure could not fill D So he found himself a whore to love G While daises choked in the window sill Chorus: D C We've made houses for hatred G It's time we made a place D C G Where people's souls may be seen and made safe D C G Be careful with each other, these fragile flames D C D C G 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: A G A G A G A G 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 www.TAB6.com
