Em    Am/E      D/F#                   D/A    C/G
Lady, all the troubles are my fright, I   disgust you.
Feel the power. You cut the truth into you.
Why? Do you think I'd hidden out? On this rely
         Em    Am/E     D/F#               D/A G
I could kiss you, with lines of escape in my mouth.

Please, let me bring back this gifts of mine to the woman.
His eyes shined on my back as I slept and knew you.

Chorus:
            C         D/F#   D/A           G
You didn't leave it all. You made an even call.
My belly released the stars and tears between the scars.

  Em                         D/F#
Below this we'll end here until the end of time
   D/A                 C/G
Beyond the moment that ends our bondage
I am your failed husband contender
I'm your loan shark of bliss

This dream you've ridden on turns your world to explosions
I need to be alone to heal this bleeding stone

F/A    A#               G           F
Now, smell the rain of London, it still insists
That we beg for our purity
As if we are pure in the reign of our contentment

   F/A        A#   F/A A#
As if I can think of
            F
this no more
