[N] [Bb]
[Bbm]
Love me like a memory held too long
Like [F] the need to feel some forgotten [Bbm] song
Gets me to chills like it's only me
Like [F] it's hard to kill the last cottonwood [Bb] tree
Love me [Bbm] later when the stars fall down
A [F] burning light for a wedding [Bb] gown
They stole the blood right out of this ground
They'd [F] still kick a flower when it's [Bb] down
Help [Gb] me trace the scars on [Bbm] mountains
The [Gb] sun that sets in a bloody [Bbm]
fountain
[Ab] Take me [Bbm]
home [Gb] and lay me [Ab] down
On [Gb] the hungry earth
Love me, love me
On the sacred [Bbm] ground
Love me like the breath you held too deep
Like [F] the need to feel the lake still [Fm] beneath
[Bbm]
Leave me with teeth marks on my skin
Like some [F] holy spirits trying to get [Bbm] in
Love me like a rumor you cannot leave
Like [F] the deepest cut you'll ever [Bbm] forgive
They stole my blood, they stole my blood
They stole my blood right out of [Bb] this ground
