Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
C Am
[Verse 1]
Am Amadd9 C
I have wondered what was done to you
F C G6 Am
To give you such a taste of flesh
Amadd9 C
I guess for years I just carried on
F C G6 Am
Didn't feel much of a choice to suppress
[Verse 2]
Am Amadd9 C
I hope your memory is less vivid than mine
F C G6
And is free from that awful maple light
Am Amadd9 C
I have to say I wish you had just done it in the dark
F C G6
So the pictures didn't burn so bright
[Chorus]
Am G6 C
But I forgive you now
F C G6 F
Release you from all the blame I know how
Am G6 C
And I'll forgive you now
F C G6 F
As if saying the words will help me know how
C Am
Please help me know how
[Verse 3]
Am Amadd9 C
I'm afraid it will take a time
F C G6 Am
I make my case to the Shahanshah as I bring him his cup
Amadd9 C
And I tell him the best I can what I need
F C G6 Am
To build the walls of my Jerusalem back up
[Verse 4]
Am Amadd9 C
And I have reckoned with what you have taken from me
F C G6
And I killed that liar in my head
Am Amadd9 C
I buried him beneath the maple tree
F C G6
There's no joy in dancing with the dead
[Chorus]
Am G6 C
But I forgive you now
F C G6 F
Release you from all the blame I know how
Am G6 C
And I'll forgive you now
F C G6 F
As if saying the words will help me know how
[Outro]
G F C
How, how
I had wondered what was done to you
To give you such a taste for flesh
I guess for years I just carried on
Didn't feel much of a choice to suppress
I hope your memory is less vivid than mine
And is free from that awful maple light
I have to say I still wish you had just done it in the dark
So the pictures didn't burn so bright
But I'll forgive you now
Release you from all of the blame I know how
And I'll forgive you now
As if saying the words will help me know how
Please help me know how
I'm afraid it will take a time
I make my case to the Shahanshah as I bring him his cup
And I'll tell him best I can what I need
To build the walls of my Jerusalem back up
And I have reckoned with what you've taken from me
And I killed that liar in my head
I buried him beneath the maple tree
There's no joy in dancing with the dead
But I'll forgive you now
Release you from all of the blame I know how
And I'll forgive you know
As if saying the words will help me know how
How, how
