Key:
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 Called myself jezebel I don't
Gmaj7 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 Family is family, don't let this
Bm 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 Entering and breaking and taking
Bm in every room
Bm A I know your feelings are tender
Bm A Inside you the embers still
G A G Glow but i'm a shadow, i'm only a
A Bm bed of blackened coal
A Call myself jezebel for wanting to
Gmaj7 leave [Verse]
D/F# Gadd9 I'm not saying i'm replacing
Asus4 Gadd9 love for some other word
D/F# Gadd9 To describe the sacred tie that
Asus4 Gadd9 bound me to you
D/F# Gadd9 I'm just saying we've mistaken
Asus4 Gadd9 one for thousands of word and for
D/F# Gadd9 That mistake I've caused you such
Asus4 Bm pain that i damn that word!
G Bm I've no more ways to hide
G A That i'm a desolate and hollow
G place inside [Instrumental]
D/F# Gadd9 Asus4 Gadd9 [Chorus]
D/F# Gadd9 I'm not saying i'm replacing
Asus4 Gadd9 love for some other word
D/F# Gadd9 To describe the sacred tie that
Asus4 Gadd9 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 Inspired by strong desire to
Asus4 Gadd9 bind myself to you
D/F# Gadd9 How i wish that we never had tried
Asus4 Gadd9 to be
D/F# Gadd9 Man and his wife to weave our
Asus4 lives into a blindfold
Gadd9 Over both our eyes
