Am                     F
I tied myself with wire
                          C
To let the horses run free
  G
Playing with the fire
          Em                 D Am
Till the fire played with me.

The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day

We set ourselves on fire
Oh God, do not deny her
It's not if I believe in love
But if love believes in me
Oh, believe in me

Chorus:
D       F            C
At the Moment of Surrender
   F             C
I folded to my knees
   Am                 G
I did not notice the passers-by
          Em              Am
And they did not notice me

I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul

                    F
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
                    C   G
To the rhythm that yearns
                     Em
To be released from control

       F               C
I was punching in the numbers
       F         C
At the A-T-M machine
         Am            G
I could see in the reflection
   F
A face staring back at me

Chorus

I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down 'til the pain will stop

Chorus
