Am             Em                F
My precious wife, I am in shambles
I am crumbling, I am

Am                 Em
Was it something I did
                F
Bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up

Am          Em
I can fix it, I swear
F
If you trust me
       Am         Em               F
I am old and I am rusting but I care
I care


Am  Em  F


(same chords as previous verse)

My precious wife, we made a promise
Pledged our flesh to be one
How can you doubt a love that stood so proud as we raised our children
I believe in it still
It has faltered and it has faded
But I know it's there
It's there

                  Am
And how'd it change 
            Em
The way you thought of me
     F
How strange to think we once were lovers
Am                    Em
Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass
F                              Am
And when you speak my name you shudder
               Em                     F
My precious wife, believe I'll save this

I'll revive it, I will
Am            Em               F
We've built a family from this marriage
Why would you tear it apart?

Am  Em F x2

Am
Speak now, precious
             F
Your silence screams

You're giving in to your failure
C                                                        Em
Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to keep forever
                         E                      Am
Until we die, you're not allowed to change your mind

Am
Oh husband, I could not control it
F
Husband, I could not abstain
C
One cannot stop the wind from blowing
Em    E
Nor refuse the falling rain
Am
Love stirred up a storm inside me
F
Wrapped its arms around my waist
C            Em               E
I failed you dear, I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry
Am
But there was nothing I could do
F
No, there was nothing I could do
C
Sure as the rain will fall
Em             E
Some love just fails

Am             
There was nothing I could do
F
There was nothing I could do
C
There was nothing I could do
Em        E               Am
There was nothing I could do
