With their necks all broke

I stumbled at the door with my boot
Am F
And I knocked against the jamb

And I scrabbled at your chest like a mute

With my fists of ham

Trying to tell you that I am

Telling you I can

I can love you again
Dm C
Love you again
Bb C
Love you again

Dm C
I'm squinting towards the East
Am F
My faith makes me a dope
C G
But you can take my hand in the darkness, darling
Bb F
Like a length of rope

I shaped up overnight, you know

The day after she died

When I saw my heart, and I tell you, darling

It was open wide

What with telling you I am

But never change in size

Well, the water, it runs deep, my darling

Where it don't run wide

The feather of a hawk was bound

Bound around my neck
C G
A poultice made of fig
Bb F
The eager little vultures peck
Verse 8:

In Matthew spoke to me

Said, there's a flame that moves like a low-down pest

That says, "you will be free"

Only tell me that I can

Tell me that I can

Love you again
Bb C
