[Gm] [A] [Dm] I wrote a letter [Am]
to the [G] Lord, begging [C] him to send a [Dm] car,
that would take [G] you there, lama sama.
[C] [Dm] He sent an [Am] egg, my love [Gm] grew, decides I like [C] it,
something small, that [Cm] doesn't hurt [Bb] at all.
[C] [Dm] Here comes [C] some danger in all [Bb] this glory,
[Dm] forgive [C] the fellow, he says [Bbm] I'm sorry.
[Dm] I asked [G] if he could send [Bb] the lines, but he said no,

take all the pieces, there's [F] nothing wrong.

[C] but these are [Dm] my words, these are [Bb] my lines, this is [F] my way.
[G]
Cause every [C] inch of my [Gm] skin, still also [C] perfect,
of my [Dm] sin, I've tried to [G] take it off so [Bb] many [C] times.
[D] I know this [A] is my very [Gm] last chance, no [C] mercy, no kindness, no [Dm] grief, thanks.
[Am] I hope it comes [Gm] naturally,
