Intro: A5 G5 C5 D5 C5 G5 A5


A5      ( G5 ) C5
forgive me Hera,
D5        C5
I cannot stay
    D5        C5
he cut out my tongue
         G5        A5
there is nothing to save

(repeat)
love me, oh lord
he threw me away
he laughed at my sins
in his arms I must stay

   A5     G5
he wrote
     F5
I'm broke
A5      G5       A5
please send for me

(repeat)
but I'm broken too
and spoken for
do not tempt me

A5      ( G5 )  C5
her skin is white
         D5          C5
and I'm light as the sun
    D5         C5            G5             A5
so holy light shines on the things you have done

F5         G5           E5       A5
so I asked him how he became this man
F5          G5             E5         A5
how did he learn to hold fruit in his hands?
     C5                      D5
and where is the lamb that gave your name?
C5                         G5           A5
he had to leave, though I begged him to stay

(repeat)
left me alone when I needed the light
fell to my knees, and I wept for my life
if he had stayed of stayed, you might understand
if he had of stayed, you never would have taken my hand

A5        G5
he wrote
F5
I'm low
A5     G5        A5
please send for me

(repeat)
but I'm broken too
and spoken for
do not tempt me

     C5                      D5
and where is the lamb that gave your name?
C5                         G5           A5
he had to leave, though I begged him to stay

F5             G5          E5        A5
begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
F5             G5           E5         A5
begged him to stay by the light of this ship
C5                     D5               
me fighting him , fighting light, fighting dawn
         C5                           G5         A5
and the waves came and stole him and took him to war

A5        G5
he wrote
F5
I'm low
A5     G5        A5
please send for me

(repeat)
but I'm broken too
and spoken for
do not tempt me

A5      ( G5 ) C5
forgive me Hera,
D5        C5
I cannot stay
    D5        C5
he cut out my tongue
         G5        A5
there is nothing to save

(repeat)
love me, oh lord
he threw me away
he laughed at my sins
in his arms I must stay

A5       G5
we write
F5
that's all right
A5  G5      A5    
I miss his smell

(repeat)
we speak
when spoken to
and that suits us well

A5    G5       A5
that suits us well
A5    G5       A5
that suits me well
