Bm Asus4 A G A Bm [Verse]
Bm A To think of my task is chilling
Bm A To know i was carefully building the
G A Mask i was wearing
G A Bm For two years, swearing i'd tear it off
Bm A I've sat in the dark explaining
Bm A To myself that i'm straining to
G A Hard for feelings
G A Bm I ought to find easily [Chorus]
A Gmaj7 Called myself jezebel I don't believe
D/F# Gadd9 Before i say that the vows we've made
Asus4 Gadd9 Weigh like a stone in my heart
Continues after the ad
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Bm Family is family, don't let this tear us apart
Bm A You lie there, an innocent baby
Bm A I feel like the thief who is raiding your
G A Home
G A Bm Entering and breaking and taking in every room
Bm A I know your feelings are tender
Bm A Inside you the embers still
G A G A Bm Glow but i'm a shadow, i'm only a bed of blackened coal
A Gmaj7 Call myself jezebel for wanting to leave [Verse]
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Gadd9 I'm not saying i'm replacing love for some other word
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Gadd9 To describe the sacred tie that bound me to you
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Gadd9 I'm just saying we've mistaken one for thousands of word and for
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Bm That mistake I've caused you such pain that i damn that word!
G Bm I've no more ways to hide
G A G That i'm a desolate and hollow place inside [Instrumental]
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Gadd9 [Chorus]
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Gadd9 I'm not saying i'm replacing love for some other word
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Gadd9 To describe the sacred tie that bound me to you
D/F# Gadd9 I'm not saying love's a plaything
Asus4 Gadd9 No, it's a powerful word
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Gadd9 Inspired by strong desire to bind myself to you
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Gadd9 How i wish that we never had tried to be
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Man and his wife to weave our lives into a blindfold
Gadd9 Over both our eyes
