EbmEbm BbmBbm AbAb
When I was a kid, a young boy, I was quiet
EbmEbm BbmBbm AbAb
Caught a lick of love from a tall man, made of iron
EbmEbm
Well, Jesus walked in solitude
DbDb
A augmentedA man-myth talking in an empty room
BbM7Bbm7 AbmAbm
And crying like a child in the sun
EbmEbm
For he alone could understand
DbDb
The book of Fate, the severed hands
BbM7Bbm7 AbmAbm
And all the little things you will become
AbmAbm
But nothing I guess will take your place
GbGb DbDb
In the dusk when the streetlights hum
♫ Chorus:
AbmAbm
Long was the night and you never looked back
GbGb DbDb
I fell for you once
AbmAbm
And your eyes they were rivers of black
GbGb DbDb
Your hair was like rain
AbmAbm
In the heart of a deafening silence
GbGb DbDb
That clung to your throat
AbmAbm
Like the voice of a terrible tyrant
GbGb DbDb
Who looked like this

EbmEbm BbmBbm AbAb
When I am alone, I hear heavenly sounds of lightning
EbmEbm
So would you tell it to me slow
BbmBbm
Until the rivers fill the seas
AbAb
And all the mountains come cover my body?
EbmEbm
There is a tree in paradise
DbmDbm
The Children called the tree of life
BbM7Bbm7 AbmAbm
Their voices echo on the burning street
EbmEbm
I still recall the broken night
DbmDbm
We watched you weeping on the lonely height
BbM7Bbm7 AbmAbm
You lay down like an insect in the heat
AbmAbm
I'll never forget, your skin was wet
GbGb DbDb
And you said it was hard to speak

Long was the night and you never looked back
GbGb DbDb
I fell for you once
AbmAbm
And your eyes they were rivers of black
GbGb DbDb
Your hair was like rain
AbmAbm
In the heart of a deafening silence
GbGb DbDb
That clung to your wrist
AbmAbm
Like the voice of a terrible tyrant
GbGb DbDb
My eyes were like his

BB
The Man that I love
GbGb DbDb
Was close enough to touch

They're gonna play the dead march
GbGb DbDb
But it wouldn't mean that much
