C          G                 Em      C
I know you must know it now, my organs have stoned.
C          G                   Em            D
My fingers are numb around your warm pulsing throat.
C         G               Em         C
And I whisper "My wife.." She opens her pale eyes.
C           G                  Em            D
She smiled, so I smiled. And I got what I deserved.
C          G                      Em             C
This house was my flowered heart, my petals have fallen.
C            G                        Em          D
"Do you love him, tell me now or I'll show you my scars."
                 C  G                    C  G
And you will bow boldly and tell me your sorry,
                  C     G                     D
But you're hardly moving, wake up and give me what I know I deserve.

The farmers wife heard it from the street down below,
C         G                   Em        D
And later fully recalled each harrowing note.
                 C  G            C      G
And she will cry holy spirit has cursed me,
                C      G                D
And for this my ending sooner then I deserve.

C            G                     Em    C
The children weren't lucky to have only used ears.
C          G                     Em               D
As I stood on top of him looking down, I felt the fear in their skin,
             C  G                     C  G
They plead, "Father, did you kill our leader?
                   C        G                D
Our rock and great teacher, what did he deserve?"
                           C  G                           C  G
And I reply "No, killed my leeches and the wound that has freed us,
                   C      G               D
And I hope you can see it for what I deserve."

C         G                          Em      C
The judge would ask why again was it him and not her?
C         G                            Em        D
The only response I could think was to settle my nerve..
          C         G         C         G
And try.. killing my leeches, suffering me speechless.
C     G                D
Abandoning secrets and trust all the same.
     C  G             Em  C
So I deserve, what I deserve.
   C  G             Em
I deserve, what I deserve.
