Bm
A rake of claws against a mirror
D
Grazing pelts we once wore
Em
A kindling of a sword-less bloodshed
F#
The creaking of a voiceless door

Bm
Where does a mind like yours wander
D
When its sung to sleep
Em
Mind the clamors of the restless bidders
F#
Before you choose to weep

Bm               D
And the hound is humming you
Em       F#
A lie, a lullaby

Bm
Stuck in the middle of a forest made of
 D
Flesh and bones and they're all scared
     Em
Of a lost little boy who’s lost his heart
 F#
Fear's not enough they have to tеar him apart

 Bm
Follow the scent of irons sinking
 D
Deeper into corpsеs rotting
 Em
But they can't hear you talk talk talk
 F#
About every little thing, every little thing, every

 Bm               D
And the hound is humming you
 Em       F#
A lie, a lullaby

 Bm
It clicks and it clatters in corners and borders
                    D
And no we’ll never hear me here listen to croons and a calling
                    Em
I'll tell them all the story, the Sun, and the swallow, her sorrow
                     F#
Sing me the tale of the harpy and the hare

 (Acapella)
And the hound is humming you

A lie

 Bm               D
And the hound is humming you
 Em       F#
A lie, a lullaby

 Bm           D
And the hound hums
 Em       F#
A lie, a lullaby

 Bm           D
And the hound hums
 Em       F#
A lie, a lullaby

 Bm
And the hound is humming
 D
And the hound is howling
 Em                      F#
And the hound is humming you
 Bm           D
And the hound hums
 Em       F#
A lie, a lullaby

 Bm               D
And the hound is humming you
 Em       F#
A lie, a lullaby

[Outro] Bm  D  Em  F#
