[C][E][Am]

[Chorus 1]
For[Am]give me, [C]Hera, [Dm]I cannot sta[C]y
He [Dm]cut out my [C]tongue
There [E]is nothing to [Am]save
[Am]Love me, oh [C]Lord

in [E]his arms I must [Am]stay

[Verse 1]
[Am]He wrote[G]
[F]I am broke
[Am]Plea[G]se send for me[Am]
[Am]But I am b[G]roken too
[F]And spoken for
[Am]Do not t[G]empt me[Am]

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Her skin is [C]white and I'm [Dm]light as the s[C]un
So [Dm]holy light [C]shines
on the [E]things, you have [Am]done

[Bridge 1]
[F]So I asked [G]him how he
be[E]came this [Am]man
[F]How did he [G]learn to hold [E]fruit in his [Am]hands?
And [C]where is the lamb that
[Dm]gave you your name?
[C]He had to leave, though I
[E]begged him to [Am]stay
[F]Left me a[G]lone, when I [E]needed the [Am]light
[F]Fell to my [G]knees, and I [E]wept for my [Am]life
If [C]he had've stayed, you [Dm]might understand
If [C]he had've stayed, you never
[E]would have taken my hand [Am]hand

[Verse 2]
[Am]He wrote[G]
[F]I'm low
[Am]Plea[G]se send for me[Am]
[Am]But I am b[G]roken too
[F]And spoken for
[Am]Do not t[G]empt me[Am]

And [C]where is the lamb, that
[Dm]gave you your name?
[C]He had to leave, though I
[E]begged him to [Am]stay
[F]Begged him to [G]stay in my
[E]cold wooden [Am]grip
[F]Begged him to [G]stay by the
[E]light of this [Am]ship
[C]Me fighting him, fighting [Dm]life, fighting dawn
And the [C]waves came and stole him and
[E]took him to [Am]war

[Verse 3]
[Am]He wrote[G]
[F]I'm bro[Am]ke Ple[G]ase send for me[Am]

in [E]his arms I must [Am]stay

[Outro 1]
[Am]We write[G]
[F]That's all right
[Am]I miss[G] his smell[Am]

That [G]suits us [Am]well
That [G]suits me [Am]well
