Tone: [Db]
You ve made your dec[Db]decision now get up and[Ab]and leave
The fa[Gb]miliar sting of the w[Ab]oodcutters swing to the tr[Db]ee
I’ll fall in the [Db]forest to elbows and [Ab]knees.
And it [Gb]won t make a sound since there s n[Ab]no one around here to se[Db]see
 
 
I was pre[Gb]prepared to l[Db]love you
And never ex[Gb]expect anything o[Db]of you [Ab]
 
 
If a spirit has [Db]left you baby don t lie to [Ab]yourself
Put the[Gb]m old records on and ad[Ab]mit that it s gone so[Db]mewhere else
Just because we re [Db]beasts of blame by
nature doesn t mean that you should c[Ab]carry it again
It s a [Gb]question of needs, and not[Ab]not rosary beads, in the[Db]the end
 
 
I was pre[Gb]prepared to l[Db]love you
And never ex[Gb]expect anything o[Db]of you
But there s no patron [Gb]saint of silent restraint
[Db]There ain t no sw[Ab]sword in our lak[Gb]lake
Just a funeral w[Db]wake
 
 
You were the [Bbm]coldest star in the sk[Db]sky
Only I couldn t [Gb]see it I was b[Db]blind
In come the [Bbm]black night calling your n[Db]name since you were born
Only I couldn t [Gb]hear it I was e[Ab]empty as a drum [Db]
 
 
I was pre[Gb]prepared to l[Db]love you
And never ex[Gb]expect anything o[Db]of you
But there no patron [Gb]saint of silent restraint
[Db]There ain t no sw[Ab]sword in our lak[Gb]lake
[Db]There ain t no sw[Ab]sword in our lak[Gb]lake
[Db]There ain t no sw[Ab]sword in our lak[Gb]lake
Just a funeral w[Db]wake.
