Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

You've made your decision now get up and leave

The familiar sting of the woodcutters swing to the tree

I’ll fall in the forest to elbows and knees.

And it won't make a sound since there's no one around here to see

I was prepared to love you

And never expect anything of you

If a spirit has left you baby don't lie to yourself

Put them old records on and admit that it's gone somewhere else

Just because we're beasts of blame by nature doesn't mean that you should carry it again

It's a question of needs, and not rosary beads, in the end

I was prepared to love you

And never expect anything of you

But there's no patron saint of silent restraint

There ain't no sword in our lake

Just a funeral wake

You were the coldest star in the sky

Only I couldn't see it I was blind

In come the black night calling your name since you were born

Only I couldn't hear it I was empty as a drum

I was prepared to love you

And never expect anything of you

But there no patron saint of silent restraint

There ain't no sword in our lake

There ain't no sword in our lake

There ain't no sword in our lake

Just a funeral wake.
