                E                   G#m        E G#m
Just give me a second, darling, to clear my head
          E                    G#m                  E  G#m
Just put down those scissors, baby, on this single bed
     E                    G#m
The sand in the hourglass is running low
                 E                         G#m
I came through thunder, the cold wind, the rain and the snow
    C#m
To find you awake by your windowsill
   B                         F#m
A sight for sore eyes, and a view to kill

I broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon shone through cracks in your hair
I shouted with passion, "I love you so much"
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch
You whispered, "Where are you?", I questioned your doubt
But soon realised you're talking to God now

Chorus:
E            A                 B                C#m
You've got blood on your hands, and I know it's mine,
I just need more time
    A                      F#m7                 C#m
So get off your low, let's dance like we used to
               A                   B            C#m
But there's a light in the distance waiting for me,
I will wait for you
    A                      F#m7               C#m
So get off your low, let's kiss like we used to

I looked in the mirror but something was wrong
I saw you behind but my reflection was gone
There was smoke in the fireplace as white as the snow
A voice beckoned gently, "Now it's time to go"
A requiem played as you begged for forgiveness
"Don't touch me", I screamed, "I've got unfinished business"

Chorus - x2
