Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)


Intro: F#m

Verse 1:
F#m                                                                    Bm
Lying on my side knowing of thirst is how I'll die chalk on my tongue
E                                                                  F#m
Lying on the night beneath the dunes is where I lie to block the sun
F#m                                                          Bm
Trying to ignite some sort of passion from inside to overcome
E                                                             F#m
This feeling of desertion can't be worse than never having anyone

Chorus:
        D         Bm
So I'll ask one thing
         F#m   E  D
Just one thing of you
                   Bm
Don't ever turn me loose
E                    F#m
Even when I turn my back

Verse 2: (same as Verse 1)
A lion on his side was it the lying or his pride which brought him down?
Once the king of beasts but now they feast on the thoughts beneath his vacant crown
Trying to decide was it the lying or the pride which brought it down?
To be alone to be dethroned believe me I know all about it now

Chorus

Bridge: F#m
F#m - D - E - D

Bm                                          E
I never told you then that I'd be easy to love
                                       Bm
Supposedly I'm a man but I felt like a cub
                                                   E
I wandered into to the plains further and farther away
                           C#                        F#m
Not ever knowing that I'd never come back the same
                                                D
As my organs gave way I swear I felt something burst
                                          E
It's been thirteen days and I'm dying of thirst
                                        D
As for the birds of prey I pray that someone else will get here first
Bm                           E
 I'm not alone, I'll be alright
                                                F#m   F#m
Just take these bones and breathe them back to life
 
     E        D         Bm
So I'll ask one thing
         F#m   E  D
Just one thing of you
                    Bm
Don't ever turn me loose
     E        D         Bm
So I'll ask one thing
         F#m   E  D
Just one thing of you
                    Bm
Don't ever turn me loose (So I'll ask)
                    E
Don't ever turn me loose (One thing)
                    Bm
Don't ever turn me loose (One thing)
E                    F#m
Even when I turn my back
