intro :

Em C G D Em C G D

Em C G D
the rope that’s wrapped around me is cutting through my skin
Em C G D
and the doubts that have surrounded me are finding their way in
Em C G D
i keep it close to me like a holy man prays
Em C G
in my desperate hour it’s better , better that way

so i’ll come by to see you again i’ll be such a very good friend
C D Em D C
have mercy on my soul i will never let you know where my mind has been

chorus

angels never came down , there’s no one here they want to hang around .
Em C G D Dsus4 Em C Am
but if they knew , if they knew you at all , then one by one the angels ,
D Dsus4 Em C G D
angels would fall .

Em C G D
i’ve crept into your temple , i have slept upon your pew .
Em C G D
i have dreamed of the divinity inside and out of you .
Em C G D
i want it more than truth . i can taste it on my breath .
Em C G D
i would give my life for a little , a little death .

C D Am7 G C D Am7 G
so i’ll come back to see you again i’ll be just a very good friend
C D Em D C
i will not look upon your face . i will not touch upon your grace , your ecclesiastic skin .
