       Cm7        
I have been to the shadowland
  Cm7/Ab 
I heard the empty call
   Cm7/F
of hatred, anorexia
Cm7/Ab             Gm/B
Misery and alcohol

         Cm7
By their hearths I warmed myself
     Cm7/Ab
To escape from the winter years
        Cm7/F
Until I saw in the window
       Cm7/Ab                  Gm/B
Myself crying fire-coloured tears

Cm
Love, the only alchemy
Cm/Ab
Love, the killer of despair
Cm/F
Love, the patient samurai
Cm/Ab                      Gm/B
Love, the armour angels wear
Cm        Cm7/Ab 
Love

     Cm7
They turned away the prophet
                Cm7/Ab
Because she was young and full of longing
             Cm7/F
Instead they turned to the magistrate
        Cm7/Ab        Gm/B
Who was busy yawning

         Cm7
And they try to sell me holy books
          Cm7/Ab
But I can see their eyes are wild
              Cm7/F
I caught them pouring shame and fear
         Cm7/Ab                  Gm/B
Into the perfect vessel of a child

Cm
Bue love's the only alchemy
Cm/Ab
Love, the killer of despair
Cm/F
Love, the true nobility
Cm/Ab                       Gm/B
Love, the armour angels wear
Cm       
Love

Cm7/Ab
Love will make your eyes clear
Cm7/F
The order of the universe
Cm7/Ab                      Cm7
The only reason we are here
