Intro:
Am  G  F  C  x2 
Am  G  F  G  x2 

Am            G          F          C 
   You better never tell nobody but God, 
Am         G           F     C 
   All the things I've seen. 
Am         G         F       C 
From high above this haunted city, 
Am       G       F          C 
   Under elected thrones of thieves. 

Am     G              F          G 
 Where mighty men lay down their hearts 
Am       G                F       G 
  In the service of their queens. 
Am               G      F     G         
  And gave their bodies to be burned 
Am       G               F   
  Like I did before your feet. 
     G 
Like she always tried for me, 
Am     G     F 
     G 
Like now she does for me. 
Am   G   F   G 

Break: Am  G  F  G  (X2) 

    Am             G          F              C 
And underneath the tyranny of August and her sons, 
         Am              G                 F             C 
Who sent fire from their fingertips in the holy vow of a teenage kiss. 
Am          G                F     G 
  Now we're much too old for this, 
Am            G                   F       G  
  And I don't feel those kinds of things. 

Am G         F       G          
   Don't you cry for me, 
Am G         F    G 
   I used to feel everything. 

Break: Am  G  F  G   (X2) 

       Am 
Oh but love... (run, run, run) 
       F 
Oh but love... (run, run, run) 
       Am          G      F    
Oh but love, love, love becomes... 
       Am          G    F 
Oh but love, love, love becomes... 

Am 
Love, love, love becomes... 
Love, love, love becomes... 

    Am     G      F      C   
And all my love becomes... 
    Am     G       F     C 
And all my love, becomes... 
       Am       G     F      G 
Became blood on stray paper. 
       Am       G     F      G 
Became blood on stray paper. 
       Am       G     F      G 
Became blood on stray paper. 
       Am       G     F      G 
Became blood on stray paper. 
       Am       G     F      G 
Became blood on stray paper. 
       Am       G     F      G 
Became blood on stray paper.
