A5             E5                F5
My precious wife, I am in shambles
I am crumbling, I am

A5                 E5
Was it something I did
                F5
Bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up

A5          E5
I can fix it, I swear
F5
If you trust me
       A5         E5               F5
I am old and I am rusting but I care
I care


A5  E5  F5


(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

                  A5
And how'd it change 
            E5
The way you thought of me
     F5
How strange to think we once were lovers
A5                    E5
Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass
F5                              A5
And when you speak my name you shudder
               E5                     F5
My precious wife, believe I'll save this

I'll revive it, I will
A5            E5               F5
We've built a family from this marriage
Why would you tear it apart?

A5  E5 F5 x2

A5
Speak now, precious
             F5
Your silence screams

You're giving in to your failure
C5                                                        E5
Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to keep forever
                         E5                      A5
Until we die, you're not allowed to change your mind

A5
Oh husband, I could not control it
F5
Husband, I could not abstain
C5
One cannot stop the wind from blowing
E5    E5
Nor refuse the falling rain
A5
Love stirred up a storm inside me
F5
Wrapped its arms around my waist
C5            E5               E5
I failed you dear, I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry
A5
But there was nothing I could do
F5
No, there was nothing I could do
C5
Sure as the rain will fall
E5             E5
Some love just fails

A5             
There was nothing I could do
F5
There was nothing I could do
C5
There was nothing I could do
E5        E5               A5
There was nothing I could do
