E
you brought me to trust you brought me to tears
E
in one tender touch the pain disappears
E
i have been to the sword seen it come seen it die
E
as we enter the dark i beseech you to try
Asus2
in prophecy all good things must end
F#m Asus2
so take care my love my friend
E Asus2
keep it precious ohhh
E
keep it precious

E
this yielding is fine this promise rare
E
one day at a time we’ve agreed to dare
E
holding you tight with wide open arms
E
i’m letting you go no stranger to harm
Asus2
ride your way do not break or bend
F#m Asus2
just take care my love my friend
E Asus2
keep it precious ohhh
E
keep it precious

Asus2 E
and the wonder let the wonder never cease
Asus2 ( hold )
and the madness of the pleasure and ecstasy

danger believing me
B
wounding and healing me please
E
keep it precious

E
i believe in your eyes i believe in your fate
E
i believe we can fly on the wings we create
E
a voice from behind calls up anger and fear
E
we can silence that scream it’s simple and clear
Asus2
nothing must die only if failed to mend
F#m Asus2
so take care my love my friend
