Cm
From tender years you took me for granted
Ab
But still I deigned to wander through your lungs
Cm
While you were sleeping soundly in your bed
Ab
Your drapes were silver wings, your shutters flung

Fm
I drew the poison from the summer's sting
Ab
And eased the fire out of your fevered skin
Fm
I moved in you and stirred your soul to sing
Ab
And if you'd let me, I would move again

Bb
I've danced 'tween sunlit strands of lover's hair
Ab
Helped form the final words before your death
Bb
I've pitied you and plied your sails with air
Ab
Gave blessing when you rose upon my breath

Eb                   Bb            Ab 
And after all of this, I am amazed,
Eb                   Bb            Ab 
That I am cursed far more than I am praised.
