Dm            Am
There was a child who was born
          C                G
To be the one who comforts me
               Dm                 Am
Who grew up strong and brave and holy
          C            Em
Loves me rough and tenderly
              Dm           Am
Can it be understood the reasons
     C            F
Why you belong to me?


   Dm               Am
I need the steady of you
         C          Em
And I'd give you anything
             Dm                Am
That I could cut with sweet precision
        C               Em
From beneath my tender skin
           Dm              Am
There is a way, there is a way
               C            F
That you can save me from this
       Am             C      G
Would you promise to be kind?
Am          C      G
Promise to be kind

[Verse]
     Dm           Am
The wind is ever faithful
         C               Em
And it carves a solemn sword
                   Dm                Am
Right through the hearts of the ungrateful
                       Em
Who are always wanting more
           Dm             Am
There is a way, there is a way
          C         F
That you can help me
            Am                 C
With the ramparts built so high
            Am     C        G
All the soldiers stuck inside
              Am          C      G
But this will fall away with time
        Am            G
If you promise to be kind

Am      C        G
Promise to be kind
Am           G
Promise to be kind
