[G]
[A] [Gm]
[E] [Gm]
[E]
[A] [Am] I'm a [Dm] priest, but [Am] blessed for good [A] thoughts.
I'm but a [D] raft in [Gm] the sea of [F] sorrow, sorrow [C] and grief.
[Dm] You bathed in [Am] my wine, drank from the cup of my [Dm] wine.
Your [Gm] sweet tongue stitched [F] my [C] aching [Am] wounds.
One stake [C] through my heart, [E] back me into [C] sunlight.
So awake, [F]
so [C] great as to play [G] a [E] dreamer.
[G] [Dm] One song [Am] for the wish of night, guide her, sweep her name through [Em] the pain.
Oh, when [A] death [F] through hell is calling [C] [Am] me,
One stake through my [E] heart, back me into [C] sunlight.
[Am] So awake, [F]
as to play [G] a [A] dreamer.
[E]
[D] [A] Play me, seduce me, [Bb] how art you, but not this game, [Em] don't.
Don't give, leave it a dream, [F] I'll [Am] take all the [A]
[Am] arms.
Stay asleep, [G] [Am] [Bb]
you use up my mind.
Stay [Dm] asleep, don't [G] leave me a sin.
[Am]
[A]
[E] [F]
[E] [F] [E]
[A] Wake up, mouth away, you'd be nothing without me.
Take my life, if you have the heart [F] to take.
[Bb] [B] [Cm]
[E] Oh, I'm a bastard, [G] shaking my soul, writing my words, playing me fool.
I'm trying to school you to remember me.
[A] I'm trying to warn you, so that I die.
I'm trying to lie, so that I hate you.
[Bb] [B] [C]

I'm a fool.
