He looked beneath his shirt today
                         C                 Bb
There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide
     C                    Bb
From the wound a lovely flower grew
               C            Bb
From somewhere deep inside
         C                       Bb
He turned around to face his mother
   C                                     Bb
To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand
    C                       Bb
But the sword that cut him open
                     C             Bb
Was the sword in his mother's hand 

F                       Bb
  Every day another miracle
Gm                         C
  Only death will tear us apart
Em7b5   F            Gm
  To sacrifice a life for yours
              Bb        C
I'd be the blood of the Lazarus heart 

The blood of the Lazarus heart

       C                       Bb
Though the sword was his protection
         C                            Bb
The wound itself would give him power
C                   Bb
The power to remake himself
                   C            Bb
at the time of his darkest hour
         C                                    Bb
She said the wound would give him courage and pain
        C                       Bb
The kind of pain that you can't hide
     C                      Bb
From the wound a lovely flower grew
          C                Bb
From somewhere deep inside 

F                       Bb
  Every day another miracle

Bb      C                 Bb
  Birds on the roof of my mother's house
        C                           Bb
I've no stones that chase them away
         C                       Bb
Birds on the roof of my mother's house
               C               Bb
Will sit on my own roof someday
        C                    Bb
They fly at the window, they fly at the door
           C                            Bb
Where does she get the strength to fight them anymore
               C                       Bb
She counts all her children as a shield against the rain
                      C                Bb
Lifts her eyes to the sky like a flower to the rain 

F                       Bb
  Every day another miracle
Gm                         C
  Only death will keep us apart

  To sacrifice a life for yours
           Bb          C
I'd be the blood of the Lazarus heart

The blood of the Lazarus heart
