Last Blues For Bloody Knuckles (acoustic)

Am Em F My precious wife, I am in shambles I am crumbling, I am Am Em Was it something I did F Bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up Am Em I can fix it, I swear F If you trust me Am Em F I am old and I am rusting but I care I care Am Em F (same chords as previous verse) My precious wife, we made a promise Pledged our flesh to be one How can you doubt a love that stood so proud as we raised our children I believe in it still It has faltered and it has faded But I know it's there It's there Am And how'd it change Em The way you thought of me F How strange to think we once were lovers Am Em Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass F Am And when you speak my name you shudder Em F My precious wife, believe I'll save this I'll revive it, I will Am Em F We've built a family from this marriage Why would you tear it apart? Am Em F (2x) Am Speak now, precious F Your silence screams You're giving in to your failure C Em Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to keep forever E Am Until we die, you're not allowed to change your mind Am Oh husband, I could not control it F Husband, I could not abstain C One cannot stop the wind from blowing Em E Nor refuse the falling rain Am Love stirred up a storm inside me F Wrapped its arms around my waist C Em E I failed you dear, I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry Am But there was nothing I could do F No, there was nothing I could do C Sure as the rain will fall Em E Some love just fails Am There was nothing I could do F There was nothing I could do C There was nothing I could do Em E Am There was nothing I could do
