Am C
forgive me Hera,
Dm C
I cannot stay
Dm C
he cut out my tongue
E Am
there is nothing to save
Am C
love me, oh lord
Dm C
he threw me away
Dm C
he laughed at my sins
E Am
in his arms I must stay
Am Em F
he wrote
Am
I'm broke
Am G Am
please send for me
Am Em F
but I'm broken too
Am
and spoken for
Am Em Am
Do not tempt me
Am C
her skin is white
Dm C
and I'm light as the sun
Dm C E Am
so holy light shines on the things you have done
F G E Am
so I asked him how he became this man
F G E Am
how did he learn to hold fruit in his hands?
C Dm
and where is the lamb that gave your name?
C E Am
he had to leave, though I begged him to stay
F G E Am
left me alone when I needed the light
F G E Am
fell to my knees, and I wept for my life
C Dm
if he had stayed of stayed, you might understand
C E
if he had of stayed, you never would have taken
Am
my hand
Am Em F
he wrote
Am
I'm low
Am G Am
please send for me
Am Em F
but I'm broken too
Am
and spoken for
Am Em Am
Do not tempt me
C Dm
and where is the lamb that gave your name?
C E Am
he had to leave, though I begged him to stay
F G E Am
begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
F G E Am
begged him to stay by the light of this ship
C Dm
me fighting him, fighting light, fighting dawn
C E
and the waves came and stole him and took him
Am
to war
Am Em
he wrote
F Am
I'm low
Am G Am
please send for me
Am Em F
but I'm broken too
Am
and spoken for
Am Em Am
Do not tempt me
Am C
forgive me Hera,
Dm C
I cannot stay
Dm C
he cut out my tongue
E Am
there is nothing to save
Am C
love me, oh lord
Dm C
he threw me away
Dm C
he laughed at my sins
E Am
in his arms I must stay
Am G
we write
F Am
that's all right
Am Em Am
I miss his smell
Am G F
we speak
Am
when spoken to
Am Em Am
and that suits us well
Am G Am
that suits us well
Am Em Am
that suits me well↑
