Verse 1:
She [Eb]bargains with the world
So [F]everything she [Gm]wants will come to [F]her
With no [Eb]greed inside her mind
She [F]knows what she [Gm]deserves [F]
We [Eb]fell from sky with grace
And [F]lathered in her [Gm]soft and warm [F]embrace
She [Eb]gave her love, her gift of life
So [F]we could live with [Gm]her
Chorus:
That is why we [F]live like [Eb]heathens
Stealing from the [F]trees of [Gm]Eden
Living in the [F]arms of [Eb]freedom
And everything we [F]touch is [Gm]evil
[F]That is why we [D]live like [Eb]heathens [F] [Gm]
Verse 2:
The [Eb]stone, the dirt, the dust
The [F]unforgiving [Gm]promise made to us
[F]Unworthy of your [Eb]light, your god, your touch
We’re [F]guided by the [Gm]lust
We [Eb]cry the fallen names
We [F]cry for those who [Gm]burn beneath the [F]flame
We stand [Eb]beside the good and brave
The [F]broken and [Gm]enslaved
Chorus:
That is why we [F]live like [Eb]heathens
Stealing from the [F]trees of [Gm]Eden
Living in the [F]arms of [Eb]freedom
And everything we [F]touch is [Gm]evil
[F]That is why we [D]live like [Eb]heathens

Bridge:
[Gm]Everything you [Dm]touch [Ebm]will [F]be hurt
Some [Gm]other with no [Dm]heart [Ebm]will [F]give [Gm]love [F] [Dm] [Eb]
Her love is [Gm]yours, but only if you [F]give your [Dm]heart to [Eb]her
Interlude:
