CAPO 2

[Verse]
     E G6     E   G6    E  G6 E   G6
You wear the cloth of finest lands,
     D                  C           E G6 E G6
The touch of women the toil of hands.
     E G6    E G6   E G6    E   G6
Undress me now  before  I bend,
 D                   C      E G6  E   G6
From the weight of everyman.

[Chorus]
E        D/F# G     E          D/F# G
When I'm walk-ing  through this world,
   E     D/F# G          E          
I need to hold     your hand.
E      D/F# G        E      D/F# G 
Let me take     you on this ride,
   E     D/F# G         E   D/F# G  
I hope you       understand,
          D            C       E G6     E   G6    
I'm not asking for a compromise.

[Verse]
 E G6   E G6   E  G6   E   G6
You defend, exhume, begin again
          D            C    E G6 E G6
It's the riddle of a skeleton.
      E G6     E G6    E G6     E  G6
We're all diseased so count the coup,
    D              C         E G6 E G6
I can't imagine stopping you.

[Chorus]
E        D/F# G       E          D/F# G 
When I'm walk-ing  through this world,
   E     D/F# G           E          
I need to hold     your hand.
E      D/F# G        E      D/F# G 
Let me take     you on this ride,
   E     D/F# G        E   D/F# G 
I hope you       understand,
          D            C       E G6     E   G6    
I'm not asking for a compromise.

[Verse]
E
So the earth we scorch, we breathe,
D                 C           E G6     E   G6
Find some comfort on our knees.
E
You find your worth in words that wind,
 D                 C
Pleasures I don't comprehend.

[Chorus]
E        D/F# G       E          D/F# G
When I'm walk-ing  through this world,
   E     D/F# G           E          
I need to hold     your hand.
E      D/F# G        E      D/F# G 
Let me take     you on this ride,
   E     D/F# G        E   D/F# G  
I hope you       understand,
         D            C          E
I'm not asking for a compromise.
