_ [C] _ _ [G] He went on [C] a weekend business [C#] trip [Cm] on Friday [G] just before dawn
[C#] She [C] _ _ touched her bruised and [C#] swollen knee, [Cm] _ relieved that [C] he was [C#] gone
She [D#] _ _ cooked his favorite [A#m] meal [Fm] just the [Fm] night before
[D] _
_ _ [Cm] Angrily slurring off the pots and [C#] the pans [C] like [C] a prisoner of war
[A#m] It [G#] _ [D#] _ was [G#] all _ [Fm] she could [G] do, _ _ not [Cm] to scream
She _ [C] _ _
[C#] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
poured herself a stiff one _ [C#] and _ [C] _ _ drew a hot [C#] bath
_ [Cm] _ Lit incense to the goddess [C#] of war [Cm] and tried to summon her wrath
_ _ [G#] _ [D#] But there were too many layers _ _ [Fm] _ [F] and only so much booze
[Cm] _ She never heard the stranger [C#] come in, [Cm] she woke up [C] dazed and confused
_ [D#] _ [G#] To those hands _ [G] in the _ dark, _ so soft and warm
[C] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
He had a manner so disarming, _ _ _ _ she felt _ strangely [C] at [C#] ease
[C] And that accent was so charming [Cm] when he said, I must tie you and blindfold you, [C#] please
_ [D#] _ She could feel his eyes on her [Fm] as he [C] opened every [G] drawer of his
_ [Cm] He dressed her in a black [C#] necklace, [Cm] one she never wore
She [G#] _ _ stood _ _ trembling [D] and listening in the [G] dark, _
[C#] blind
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D#] He led her [Cm] to the kitchen, _ [C#] he _ [Cm] prepared a gourmet [C#] meal
[Cm] And with every bite he fed [C#] her, he [Cm] asked her, how do you feel?
_ [G#] _ _ They spoke of art and [C] music and the books they both had [G]
read
[Cm] Then she realized with [C#] a start, _ [Cm] she'd lost all her fear and dread
_ _ [G#] They laughed and talked for hours [G] until the wine was almost gone
[Cm] Well, the necklace she had fell to the floor, _ but the blindfold and [G] the robe _ stayed
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A#] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _

[B] Tell [Cm] me how to touch [C#] you, _ [Cm] and he waited until she would say
[C#] _ [Cm] He _ promised not to do [C#] one thing [Cm] unless she said, _ okay
_ [G#] _ _ But now she was confused, _ [C] was she willing [Fm] or being _ forced?
[Cm] Well, she decided to let the stranger's hands follow the natural course
_ [F] _ The tides came crashing [A#] round her, [G] till she was a puddle on the floor
_ [Cm] Before he left, he kissed [C#] her gently, [Cm] then _ slowly _ closed the door
_ _ [C] And as sure as [C#] darkness [Cm] _ _ _ precedes the [C#] light, _ [Cm] _ she knew she would not be [C#] there
[Cm] When her husband got home that night, [A#] _ _ [G#] _ _ she lay there and listened
[C] It was morning now, [D] she _ knew
[Cm] _ Honey, that rope had long [C#] come off, [Cm] and the blindfold was asking
_ [D#] _ _ She [G#] squinted toward the window, [D] where the sun shone bright [G] and warm
_ [Cm] She raised her hands to her [C#] face, [Cm] _ _ _ [C] and she put that blindfold _ back on _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ She _
_ _ [C] _ put the blindfold [G] right back on _ _ _ _ _ _
