[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][G][Gm][G][Gm][G][Gm][G][Dm]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh, the Sisters
[Dm]of Blindness[G]
From the Convent [Gm]of the Broken Heart,
[G]
They want to smother it with kindness,
[Gm]They[Em] want to tear it all
[G]apart.[Em][Dm][G]
And there's a rock of sterile
[Em]virt[G]u'[Gm][G]
In the centre of the bay....
[Gm][G][Dm][Gm][G]
I'm so sorry he hurt you,
But don't throw [Em]yourself [G]awa[Dm]y.[G]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][A][Em][Bm][Em]
[A][Em][Dm][G][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[G]You only wanted to have some fun,
[Dm]You only[G] wanted to try it;
You only wanted to be someone,
But everybody denies it.
Why's it so [Bm]hard to make you listen?
[E]Don't go [Bm]and change
your [G]name...[Em][A][Em]
[Bm]Learning to lose can be
The start of winning [Em]the
[G]game.[Bm]
You're so special,
such [Bsus4]sadness seems a[Em] shame.
[A][G]

[Verse 3]
I know that you've got a service to [Dm]catch,
I [G]wouldn't want you to miss it,
But there's something so mismatched,
Some motive inexplicit...
Is it the [Bm]call of the Convent?

[Interlude 2]
[Bm][G][Em][Bm][Em][F#m][Em][G]
[Dm][G][Dm][C][Dm]
[C][Dm][D][Dm]
[G][Dm][G][Dm][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]You only wanted to find
[D]someone[Dm]
[G]Or something more than pleasure;
Penitence for the Chosen One
You can indulge at leisure -
By the light of the sinking sun,
Don't turn your back on
the treasure.
Whether or [Bm]not you want to face it,
[Em]you're a beaut[Bm]iful girl[Em][G]
[Em]And yo[Bm]ur lay- lady laughter has
[Em]a ri[Bm]ght to be [Em]hear[G]d;[Em][G][Em]
[Bm]But what can I give [E]you if you've
already got [G]the Word?
[A][G][Em]

[Verse 5]
[A]
Don't go
[G]Don't [A]start
[G]Don't take on
