[Dm]
I stepped into [Bb] an avalanche, [Dm] it covered [C] up my [Dm] soul
When I am not [Bb] this hunchback that you see, I sleep [C] beneath the [Dm] golden hill
[F] You wish [A] to conquer pain, you [Dm] must learn, learn to [Bb] serve me well
[A] [A]
You [Dm]
[Bb] strike my side by accident, [Dm] as you go [C] down for your gold
The cripple here [Bb] that your clothing [Dm] feed is neither starved or cold
[F] He does not [A] ask for your company, not [D] at the center, the center [Bb] of the world
[A] [A]
[D] When I am [Bb] on a pedestal, [Dm] you [C] did not raise [D] me there
[Dm] Your laws do not [Bb] compel me now [Dm] to [C] kneel [Dm] grotesque and bare
[F] I myself [A] am the pedestal for [Dm] this ugly home that [Bb] witches stare
[A] [A]
[Dm] You wish [Bb] to conquer pain, [Dm] you must [C] learn what [Dm] makes me kind
The crumbs of love [Bb] that you offer me, they're the [Dm] crumbs [C] I've lived
[F] Your pain has no [A] credential here, it's just the shadow, shadow of my [Bb] womb
[A] I
[Dm] have [Bb] begun to long for you,
[Dm] [C] I who have no greed
I have begun [Bb] to ask for you, [D]
I [C] who have no need
[F]
You say you're gone [A] away from me, but I can [Dm]
feel you, feel you when you [Bb] leave
[Dm] Do not [Bb] dress in those rags for me, I [C] know you are [Dm] not poor
And don't love me quite [Bb] so fiercely now, [Dm] when you know [C] that you are [Dm] not sure
[F] It is your [A] turn, my beloved one, it [Dm] is your flesh that [Bb] I weigh
[Gm] [A]
