What He Wrote

Am       G  C
Forgive me Hera
Dm        C
I cannot stay
    Dm        C
He cut out my tongue
         G/B        Am
There is nothing to save

Am         G   C
Love me, oh lord
Dm               C
He threw me away
    Dm            C
He laughed at my sins
         G/B        Am
In his arms I must stay

Am   G
 He wrote
F      G
 I'm broke
Am      G          Am
 Please send for me

Am       G
 But I'm broken too
F       G
 And spoken for
Am      G      Am
Do not tempt me

Am        G    C
Her skin is white
         Dm          C
And I'm light as the sun
    Dm         C            G/B             Am
So holy light shines on the things you have done

F         G           E/G#       Am
So I asked him how he became this man
F          G             E/G#         Am
How did he learn to hold fruit in his hands?
     C                                    Dm
And where is the lamb that gave your name?
C                         G/B           Am
He had to leave, though I begged him to stay

F            G                     E/G#  Am
Left me alone when I needed the light

F          G             E/G#         Am
Fell to my knees, and I wept for my life
C                                                Dm
If he had stayed of stayed, you might understand
C                                 G/B
If he had of stayed, you never would have taken my hand

Am    G
But I'm broken too
F       G
 And spoken for
Am     G        Am
 Do not tempt me

     C                      Dm
And where is the lamb that gave your name?
C                         G/B           Am
He had to leave, though I begged him to stay

F             G          E/G#        Am
Begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
F             G           E/G#         Am
Begged him to stay by the light of this ship
C                     Dm
Me fighting him , fighting light, fighting dawn
         C                           G/B         Am
And the waves came and stole him and took him to war

Am       G
We write
F           G
That's all right
Am  G        Am
I miss his smell

Am     G
We speak
F      G
When spoken to
Am          G      Am
 And that suits us well

Am     G       Am
 That suits us well
Am     G       Am
 That suits me well
