[E] He brought me the trust, he brought me the tears,
In one tender touch the wound disappears.
I have been to the sword, seen it come, seen it die,
_ Swing into the dark, I beseech you to try [A] in _ prophecy,
All good things must end, So [F#m] take care my love, my friend,
Keep [E] it precious, _ [N] _ _ keep it precious,
This _ _ _ _ _ yield is fine, this promise rare, One day at a time, never greed to dare.
_ Holding you tight, with wide open arms, I'm letting you go,
No stranger to harm, right your way.
Do not break a band, Just take care my love, my friend,
Keep it precious, _ _ _ _ keep it precious, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Wonder, _ _ wonder never ceases,
_ _ I know madness of the pleasure and ecstasy,
Danger, believe in me, wounding and healing me,
Please keep it precious. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I believe in your eyes, I believe in your fate,
I believe we can fly on the wings that we create,
My voice from behind, calls of anger and fear,
We can silence that scream, it's simple and clear,
Nothing must die, only it fails to mend,
So take care my love, my friend,
Keep it precious, _ _ _ _ keep it precious, _ _ _ _ _
Just keep it precious, _ _ _ _ _ keep it precious, _ _ _ _
My _ _ _ love for love, keep it precious, _ _ _ _
So _ precious, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ keep it precious,
Keep _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ it precious, _ _ _ my love, _ _ _ _ _ _ keep it precious, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Keep it precious, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ my _ _ _ _ _ _ _
love, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ keep it precious, _ _
_ Keep it precious, my _ _ _ _ _ _ love, keep it precious, _
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
Keep it precious, _ _ _ _ hold _ _ _ _ _ on,
_ Keep it precious, keep it precious,
_ My love, _ _ hold on, keep it precious,
My _ _ _ _ _ love, _ hold on, _ _
