[Bm]
[Em]
You are only pretty [D] if you [G] disappear And you must be [D] beautiful for [Bm] them, my dear
[Em] Whatever before [D] you wanted [G] to achieve Is lost to [Bm] this love to turn [Em] to fallen leaves
The fallen leaves that [C] cover everything Must [Em] lie together all in [D] your eyes
[Em] Then you can live [D]
among [G] the privileged Oh, but don't [Bm] appear to [Em] be more than mine
I am only [D] pretty if [G] I disappear I see [D] myself and wish [Bm] me gone
[Bm]
[Em] When others strive [D] to keep [G] themselves alive I will rise and [Bm] fall in [Em] this crowd alone
My love for you is like [C] the morning That [Em] at the window wants to [D] come in
But
[Em] still the curtains [D] twitch and [G] shudder The house where I'm supposed [Bm] to live [Em] closes again
[D]
[G]
[Bm]
[Em]
With every step this [F#m] light gets [G] stronger And more of my [D] face and skin is [Bm] seen
[Em] I see the light for [D] all of my [G] children And I fight for [Bm] them and [Em] myself again
And here I am, my isle [C] and my home [Em] And pretty flowers all rot and [D] fade
[D] The
[Em] scent of death [Bm] does not [G] too cover me Nor does the [Bm] water all around my bed
[Em] Oh, when will I [D] embrace [G] my darling Your head and [D] hair in the [Bm] lonesome night
[Em] No matter what I [D] do or [G] say, my love [G] Or where I [Bm] walk on [Em] these blistered feet
You are only pretty when [C] you disappear And [Em] you must be beautiful [D] for them, my dear
[Em] Whatever before [D] you wanted [G] to achieve Is lost to [Bm] this, to turn to fallen [Em] me
