Widower

A
Been a righteous gentleman
E
A man of many skins
A
Tried to list them all
E
But I don’t know where to begin
A
Beggar, thief, a king
E
Shephard with a sling
A
You can keep your sword and shield
E
I don’t need anything

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A
I built a house my dear
E
So I could keep you near
A
A voice from above
E
Was singin’, “have no fear”
A
You were my consequence
E
In this holy turn of events
A
No need to overthink it
E
‘Cause love makes no sense

[Chorus]
B
Time seems to tell me,
        A
“There’s nothing left for you,
     E
so, slow down”
B
Love used to be a friend
    A                          E
But I don’t see much of him anymore

[Instrumental]
A E A E

[Verse 3]
A
We made a love so strong
E
You made this coward belong
A
Beauty and innocence
E
Tell me what went wrong
A
A sickness I couldn’t heal
E
A sorrow that couldn’t be real
A
Tell me there’s a reason for this
E
Tell me what’s left to feel

[Instrumental]
A E A E

[Verse 4]
A
I thought that I’d done right
E
But he still came in the night
A
Tell me what must be done
E
To forever hold you tight

[Chorus]
B
Time seems to tell me,
        A
“There’s nothing left for you,
     E
so, slow down”
B
Love used to be a friend
    A                          E
But I don’t see much of him anymore

[Ending Verse]
A
I had my money saved
E
We picked our wedding day
A
The Lord sure does give
E
And He sure does take away
