Artist: Anais Mitchell
[PERSEPHONE]
[Bb]Hades, my husband, Hades, my light
Hades, my dark[Gm]ness
If you had heard how he s[Bb]ang tonight
You'd pity poor O[Gm]rpheus!
All of his sorrow won't f[Dm]it in his c[D]hest
It just bu[Gm]rns like a fire in the pi[Bb]t of his che[F]st
And his he[Gm]art is a bird on a s[Bb]pit in his che[F]st
H[Bb]ow long, how l[F]ong, how [Gm]long?
[HADES]
Ho[Bb]w long? Just as long as Hades is King
Nothing comes of [Eb]wishing on st[Gm]ars
And no[Bb]thing comes of the songs people si[Bb]ng
However sorry they[Gm] are
Gi[Gm]ve them a piece and they[Dm]'ll take it[D] all
Sh[Gm]ow them the crack and they'll t[Bb]ear down the w[F]all
Le[Gm]nd them an ear and the K[Bb]ingdom will [F]fall
The [Bb]Kingdom will [F]fall for a so[Gm]ng
[PERSEPHONE]
W[Bb]hat does he care for the logic of k[F]ings?
The laws of your underwo[Gm]rld?
I[Bb]t is only for love that he sin[F]gs!
He sings for the love of a g[Gm]irl!
[HADES]
Yo[Gm]u and your pity don't fi[Dm]t in my b[D]ed
You just b[Gm]urn like a fire in the p[Bb]it of my b[F]ed
And I tu[Gm]rn like a bird on a s[Bb]pit in my [F]bed
How[Bb] long, how lo[F]ng, how lo[Gm]ng?
[PERSEPHONE]
Ho[Bb]w long? Just as long as I am your wi[C]fe
It's true the earth must [Gm]die
But then the earth comes back to li[C]fe
And the sun just goes on ri[Gm]sing
[HADES & PERSEPHONE]
And h[Gm]ow does the sun even f[Dm]it in the [D]sky?
It just bur[Gm]ns like a fire in the [Bb]pit of the s[Dm]ky
And the ea[Gm]rth is a bird on a s[Bb]pit in the s[Am]ky
How[Bb] long, how l[D]ong, how lo[Gm]ng?
[Bb]Hades, my husband, Hades, my light
