Persephone

Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
      Em            F
Yes my love, I confess to you
       Em                   F
I am only here to break your heart in two
       G             F
The very flower you chose that day
        G              F
Its only task was to decay
    Am
You see?
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Em               F
When I watched your first bathing
         Em                 F
I only warned you with a lowered voice
     G                F
"Be wary of my river's undertow
       G                     F
It flows with water from the coldest source"
      Am
Did you hear?
 
 
[Chorus]
    Bm
And then I made sure
    Bm             C
You would always return
    Bm
You still know of dawn
     Bm            C
But you always return
 
 
[Verse 3]
      Em               F
When you hid under my black wings
       Em                            F
They couldn't have protected you from anything
      G                    F
Once in flight they would have let go
     G                      F
You would have once again wound up below
     Am
Only broken
 
 
[Verse 4]
    Em                       F
Indeed, it's wrong to keep you near me
     Em                     F
One could call me cruel and deceiving
    G                        F
But in your sacred air I am full of light
      G                    F
Your loving arms are the true delight
     Am
To which I'm lost
 
 
[Chorus]
    Bm
And you've noticed it
     Bm               C
There is something right here
       Bm                                C
You have come to love, yes you've come to love
        Am
What you always will fear
 
 
[Bridge]
 
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 
 
[Verse 5]
   Em                 F
Yes, my love, I confess to you
       Em                       F
I've nothing but the means to break your heart in two
       G                   F
My part in yours may seem important now
       G                      F
But with every spring it will seem so small
   Em                F
Just for now I am your fall
  Em
I am your fall
    F
I am your fall
