Tom: C
C G
You've made your decision now get up and leave
F' G' C
The familiar sting of the woodcutters swing to the tree
C G
I’ll fall in the forest to elbows and knees.
F' G' C
And it won't make a sound since there's no one around here to see
[Pre-Chorus]
F' C Cma7
I was prepared to love you
F' C G
And never expect anything of you
[Verse 2]
C G
If a spirit has left you baby don't lie to yourself
F' G' C
Put them old records on and admit that it's gone somewhere else
C G
Just because we're beasts of blame by nature doesn't mean that you should carry it again
F' G' C
It's a question of needs, and not rosary beads, in the end
[Chorus]
F' C Cma7
I was prepared to love you
F' C Cma7
And never expect anything of you
F'
But there's no patron saint of silent restraint
C G F
There ain't no sword in our lake
C
Just a funeral wake
[Bridge]
Am C
You were the coldest star in the sky
F C
Only I couldn't see it I was blind
Am C
In come the black night calling your name since you were born
F' G' C
Only I couldn't hear it I was empty as a drum
[Chorus]
F' C Cma7
I was prepared to love you
F' C Cma7
And never expect anything of you
F'
But there no patron saint of silent restraint
C G F
There ain't no sword in our lake
C G F
There ain't no sword in our lake
C G F
There ain't no sword in our lake
C
Just a funeral wake.
