Capo 7th Fret
G
You are every part of my beating heart
D C
You are the blood within me
Em
My love outweighs my lust for you
D C G
My head outweighs my heart
G
I am with you through eternity
D C
Until my blood stops pumping
Em
Cos without you rushing through my veins
D C G
There is no life within me
G C
Give up the things you love for love
Em
Love despite your mood
C
Take me as I am
G
Let me love you
G
Blood on the hands of the Son of God
D C
Oh, the pain that love brings
Em D
I will try to defend our love
C G
From false feelings
G
Bend like a bow in the archer's hand
D C
Though arrows run swiftly
Em
Strike my flesh, then my bones then pierce my heart
D C G
Love's poison seeping
G C
Give up the things you love for love
Em
Love despite your mood
C
Take me as I am
G
Let me love you
G
Dead to the world, you've become my universe
D C
An act of perfect poison
Em
Crippled, deaf and blind inside I've become
D C G
My arms hang loose from my shoulders
G
Without my arms I cannot hold a shield
D C
Or wield a mighty sword
Em
Every drop of blood that stains the earth
D C G
A stamp on the ground that I love you
G C
Give up the things you love for love
Em
Love despite your mood
C
Take me as I am
G
Let me love you
