Intro: C . . |/g . . |C . . |/g . . |  (x2)

      C
She stands before you naked
         Dm
You can see it, you can taste it
         G               G7         C
And she comes to you light as the breeze
              C
Now you can drink it or you can nurse it
          Dm
It don't matter how you worship
    G
As long as you're
               C
Down on your knees

So I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha and the omega
At the cradle of the river and the seas
And like a blessing come from heaven
For something like a second
I was healed and my heart
Was at ease

   E7
O baby I waited
    Am
So long for your kiss
     E7
For something to happen
F                   C . . |/g . . |
Oh something like this

G#dim . . |/d . . |Gsus4 . . |/d . . |G . . |/d . . |

And you're weak and you're harmless
And you're sleeping in your harness
And the wind going wild in the trees
And it ain't exactly prison
But you'll never be forgiven
For whatever you've done
With the keys

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh something like this

It's dark now and it's snowing
O my love I must be going
The river has started to freeze
And I'm sick of pretending
I'm broken from bending
I've lived too long
On my knees

Then she dances so graceful
And your heart's hard and hateful
And she's naked but that's just a tease
And you turn in disgust
From your hatred and from your love
And she comes to you
Light as the breeze

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh something like this
                 G#dim 
Something like this

There's blood on every bracelet
You can see it, you can taste it
And it's Please baby please baby please
And she says, Drink deeply, pilgrim
But don't forget there's still a woman
Beneath this
Resplendent chemise

       E7
So I knelt there at the delta
       Am
At the alpha and the omega
    E7                        F
I knelt there like one who believes
          C
And the blessings come from heaven
         G#dim
And for something like a second
     Gsus4
I'm cured and my heart
      G
Is at ease
