/5- Em4 /5- (4x)

Well, they knew you were coming down

On the darkness at the edge of town

And they came to steal the lightning from the sky

Yeah, the push might just come to shove

And your love might not be enough

To free you from the fears that paralyse

/5- Em4 /5- /5- Em4 /5-

Yet they used to love you for the way you sang your soul

Now they've come to claim you through the night

The ghosts have come to steal the light outta your eyes

But your mama and your wife

Cuts your heart out with a knife

And they left you for the dogs to lick your bones

They made you cry the rain

But they love you just the same

/5- Em4 /5- /5- Em4 /5-

Before your God, and the devil, took your soul

Tell me what did you bequeath

To the girl with the freaky teeth

Well, she shown you things she'd stolen from the queen

She'll have your hearts desire

As she danced back into the fire

With the Holy Men who stole your tambourine

/5- Em4 /5- /5- Em4 /5-

Yet they used to love you for the way you sang your soul

Now they've come to claim you through the night

The ghosts have come to steal the light outta your eyes

But your mama and your wife

Cuts your heart out with a knife

And they left you for the dogs to lick your bones

They made you cry the rain

But they love you just the same

Before your God, and the devil, took your soul
