[Intro 1]
[F][E]

[Verse 1]
[E]I believe y[F]ou heard your m[Em]aster sing
When [F]I was sick in b[Em]ed
I suppose [F]that he told you [Em]everything
That I [F]keep locked away in [Em]my head
Your [F]master took you trav[Am]eling
Well [C]at least that's what you [D]said
An[G]d now do you come back
to bring your pris[F]oner
Wine and [E]bread
You [F]met him at some [Em]temple,
where they take [F]your clothes at [Em]the door.
He was [F]just a numberless
[Em]man in a chair,
who'd [F]just come back from the war.
[Em]And you wrap up hi[F]s tired
[Am]face in your hair
And he [C]hands you the apple [Am]core
[D]Then he tou[G]ches your lips
now so suddenly bare
Of all the [F]kisses we put on
some time be[E]fore
And he [Em]gave [F]you a German
shep[Em]herd to walk
With a [F]collar of leather and [Em]nails
And he never [F]once made you explain
[Em]Nor talk about all t[F]he little details
[Em]Such as who [F]had a wood,
and who [Am]had a rock,
and [C]who had you through the [D]mails
Now [G]your love is a secret
[Gm]all over t[G]he block
And it [F]never stops,
not even when your master [E]fails
It [Em]took [F]you up in [Em]his aeroplane,
which he flew [F]without [Em]any hands,
and you [F]cruised above
[Em]the ribbons of rain
that [F]drove the crowd from [Em]the stands.
Then he [F]killed the lights in [Am]a lonely lane
And an [C]ape with angel [D]glands
He [G]erased the final wisps of pain
With the mu[F]sic of rubber band[E]s
And now [F]I hear y[Em]our Master sing,
you kneel [F]for Him to come
[Em]His body i[F]s a golden s[Em]tring
that your body [F]is hanging from
[Em]His body is a [F]gold strin[Am]g,
my body [C]has [D]grown numb
And [G]now you hear your master sing,
[F]your shirt is all undone
[E]And w[F]ill you kneel bes[Em]ide this bed
That we pol[F]ished so long [Em]ago
Before [F]your master [Em]chose instead
To make [F]my bed of [Em]snow
Your eye[F]s are wild and your
[Am]knuckles are red
and you're speak[C]ing far too [D]low
No, I [G]can't make out what
your master said
before [F]he made you [E]go
Then I [F]think you're playing [Em]far too rough
For a [F]lady who's been to [Em]the moon
I've lain [F]by this window [Em]long enough
To get used [F]to an empty [G]room
[Em]And your love [F]is some dust
in an old [Am]man's cough
Who is [C]tapping his foot to a [D]tune
And your [G]thighs are [Gm]ruined,
you [G]want too much
Let's [F]say you came back sometime too [E]soon
I [F]loved your mas[Em]ter perfectly.
I taught [F]him all that [Em]he knew.
He was starving [F]in some [Em]deep mystery,
like a [F]man who is sure what [Em]is true.
And I sent [F]you to him with my guar[Am]antee
I [C]could teach him something [D]new
And [G]I taught him
how you would long for me
No [F]matter what he said,
no matter what you'd [E]do
I be[F]lieve you heard your [Em]master sing
When [F]I was sick in b[Em]ed
I'm [F]sure that he told you [Em]everything
I [F]keep locked away in my [Em]head
Your [F]master took you traveling,
[Am]well at le[C]ast that's what you said[D]
And [G]now do you come back
to bring your pris[F]oner wine and [E]bread
