Dm
Unsettled hearts
      Am                  G      F F
Promise what they can't deliver
            Dm
Bring me the wine
   Am                               G      F F
And the cold night air to clear my head
       Dm
Gray matter memory house
      Am                  G            F F
Master of this trembling flesh
               Dm
Steady still my doubts
      Am                        G            F F
Let me speak the word that precedes bliss
F
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Am                             C            F
Love love love love love love love love
F
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Am                            C            F
Love love love love love love love love
F
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Dm Am , G F F
F
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Dm Am , G F F
             Dm
These weakened knees
     Am                      G                  F F
Have not touched ground or pew in ages
         Dm
I haven't bowed my head
        Am            G
F             F
I offer thanks to any God or to ask for favors
            Dm
But watch me now
I'm falling down
Praying
      Am                 G                  F F
To speak the word that precedes bliss
F
To speak the word
To speak the word
 Am                            C            F
Love love love love love love love love

F
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
 Am                            C            F
Love love love love love love love love
F
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
Dm Am G F F
F
Let me speak the word
Let me speak the word
