{Intro:} Dm7 Bb7M Am
Bb7M
Oh the tears that you weep
Bb7M(9)
For the poor tortured souls
F/A
Who fall at your feet
G#6
With their love begging bowls
Dm7
All the clerks and the tailors
C
The sharks and the sailors
Bb
All good at their trades
G7
But they'll always be failures
Alms for the poor
For the wretched disciples
And the love that they swore
With their hearts on the bible
Beseeching the honour
To sit at your table
And feast on your holiness
As long as they're able
Bb6
Love needs its martyrs
Bº
Needs its sacrifices
F/C
They live for your beauty
Fº
And pay for their vices
Bb7M
Love will be the death of
Bº
My lonely soul brothers
F
But their spirit shall live on in
Fº
The hearts of all lovers
You're holding court
With your lips and your smile
Your body's a halo
Their minds are on trial
Sure as Adam is eve
Sure as Jonah turned whaler
They're crooked love thieves
And you are their jailor
