Vessel Dry the River
[G]
Verse 1:
[G]I knelt at the sink,
[Em]Like a priest[D/F#] or a prince
[D]Maybe I'm to be [C]king
And they're wai[G]ting at Westminster
[G]And the walls are paper thin
[Em]I hear the neighbour[D/F#]s arguing
[D]Could you lower your [C]voice?
I would sell [G]my unborn daughter (maybe)
[B7]
[G] [Em] [D/F#] [C]
[B7]
[Em] [D/F#] [G]
Verse 2:
[G]We didn't stage a passion play
[Em]Didn't change [D/F#]our given names
[D]Or waltz to our [C]bed
Or need [G]to make a scene
[G]But I see your skin, paler now
[Em]Than the hos[D/F#]t in your mouth
[C]Where the truth [D]never seems[Em] to be
[B7]
[G] [Em] [D/F#]
[G] [Em] [D/F#]
[C]Now the burning [D]branch never speaks [Em]to me
It whispers like
[G]
Chorus:
[C]I don't wanna be your [G]vessel any more
[D]I don't wanna be your [Em]vessel any mo[G]re
[Am]These are my words, [G]this is my mouth
[D]I don't wanna be your [Em]vessel no[G]w
[Am]And I may not see the future
But I see its lonely architect
[Em]At the door of my [D]house
[Am]I don't wanna be your [G]vessel any more
[D]I don't wanna be a [Em]vessel of your [G]doubt
[G] [Em] [D/F#]
[D] [C]
[G]
Verse 3:
[G]Truly I never dreamt
[Em]Of all the dumb[D/F#] accoutrement
[D]I would want for my[C]self
For the shelf[G]
[G]I laid it all at your feet
[Em]On your neck[D/F#] and your cheek
[C]But the burning [D]branch wouldn't [Em]speak to me
Chorus:
[C]I don't wanna be your [G]vessel any more
[D]I don't wanna be your [Em]vessel any mo[G]re
[Am]These are my rules, [G]this is my house
[D]I don't wanna be your [Em]vessel no[G]w
[Am]And I may not see the future
But I see its lonely architect
[Em]At the foot of my [D]bed
[Am]I don't wanna be your [G]vessel any more
[D]Didn't wanna be your [Em]vessel anyw[G]ay
