What He Wrote(Chords)

	        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 
 He wrote 
F     G 
I'm low 
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 

     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 
He wrote 
F     G 
I'm low 
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 
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 
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
