Am     F             E
I keep crashin' into parked cars 
Am            F                   E
waitin' for a horse and it's blue rider' 
Am                F                E
followed you that night you tasted lucky 
Am           F                        E
we staggered blessed your scars they, matched my dress 

[INSTR. CH.]

Am      F             E
never mind, the happy ending 
Am        F              E
Maybeline eyes and trampolines 
Am     F                     E
old tattoos, burned in their parlors 
Am                   F                 E
Christmas lights and mangers spook you cold 

[CH.]   Am             F              E
Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart 
        Am             F              E
Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart

Am            F           E
we forget, we risk, we're tired, we're true
          Am        F         E
veils and whispers, rivers of ether 
Am
cigarettes and perfume
F        E
a single gunshot, to the foot
Am           F
we staggered blessed
                E
your scars they matched my dress

[CH.]   Am             F              E
Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart
        Am             F              E
Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart

[INSTR. CH.]

Am
ready to drift, flat out forget
Fmaj7
pull up and quit, look past the shit
      E                                    Fmaj7
we go nowhere, we just get smaller, in the distance 
E

Am
said you wanna' see what I look like inside
Fmaj7
drew a hangman on a napkin
and you started laughin'
           E
don't take prophets to see
                                Fmaj7
this world will need it's sorry chances 
E

[CH.]   Am             F              E
Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart 
        Am             F              E
Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart
        Am             F              E
Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart
        Am             F              E
Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart
