Am Em
That I might be a part of this
Am Em
ripple on water from a lonesome drip
Am Em
A fallen tree that witness me
Am
I'm alone,
G Em Em
Am Em
And that life itself can not aspire
Am Em
to have someone be so admired
Am Em
I threw creation to my kin
Am G Em Em
with the silence broken by a whispered wind.
Am G
All of this can be broken
Am G
All of this can be broken
Am G Am Em Em
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground.
Am Em
And root to root and tip to tip
Am Em
I look at him my country drip
Am Em
Leathered up in all his fears
G Em Em
But someone brought you close to tears.
Am Em
And many trains and many miles
Am Em
brought you to me on this sunny isle
Am Em
What of which you wish to speak
G Em Em
Have you come here to rescue me?
Am G
All of this can be broken
Am G
All of this can be broken
Am G Am Em Em
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground.
Am
But the love of your life
C G
lives but lies no more
D
and where she lay
G C G
a flower grows.
Am
The arms that fed
C
the babes that wed
G
and the backs have bled,
D G C G
keeping her in tow.
D Am G C G
But I am kee-per
D Am G C G
And I hold your face away from light
Am C G C G
I am yours till they come
Am C G C G
I am yours till they come.

Eye to eye
C
Nose to nose

ripping off each others clothes
D Em Em
in the most peculiar way.
