Verse:
Tear it d[Em]down, tear it down around my h[G]head
I need [Em]you to bury this beneath my[G]beneath my bed
The c[Em]rows in the garden are la[C]ughing at my ex[G]pense
Drowning [Em]out all the lies that I mi[C]might have told ins[G]instead
My st[Em]stone, my shield, my steady ha[G]hand
Hold your l[Em]light to the darkness in my h[G]head
Put your [Em]ear to my heart or set your te[C]teeth against my th[G]throat
Give me some[Em]thing pretty to w[C]ear beneath my blood-stained clo[G]thes
Chorus:
My dar[Em]ling, the de[C]vil knows my n[Em]ame
-Oh...-
Verse:
Lay me d[Em]down, pour the dirt into our b[G]bed
Tell the c[Em]crows they can have their pound of fl[G]flesh
The gh[Em]osts at the window echo a[C]ll our quiet pra[G]yers
When they c[Em]ome for us, they'll co[C]me with hammers and na[G]ils
My da[Em]rling, the de[C]vil knows my n[Am]ame
Bridge:
[Em]My name
[Am]My n[Em]name
Outro:
[Em]Get on your knees and d[C]dig up the garden
Won't you t[Em]throw down that spade and
[C]Dig up the garden, darling?
[Em]Get your hands dirty and r[C]rip up the garden
Won't you [Em]cut down that [Am]apple tree for [Em]me?
