            Am
I asked my father
                           Em
I said, "Father change my name."
            Am
The one I'm using now, it's covered up
                                        Em
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame

         C                                                    G
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
         C                                                    G
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me

He said, "I locked you in this body
I meant it as a kind of trial
You can use as a weapon
Or to make some woman smile."

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me

"Then let me start again," I cried
"Please let me start again
I want a face that's fair this time
I want a spirit that is calm."

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me

"I never turned aside," he said
"I never ever walked away
It was you who built the temple
It was you who covered up my face."

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me

Am . . . |. . . . |Em . . . |. . . . |
Am . . . |. . . . |Em . . . |. . . . |   (x3)

You may come to me in happiness
Or you may come to me in grief
You may come to me in deepest faith
Or you may come in disbelief

Oh and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me...
