Em, Am, C - G, C, EmEmCG
When you prey in silence
EmCG
And see our Jesus stagger
EmCG
Awake! Take a perfumed candle
EmCG
And use life like a dagger
EmAmC
I'm your accidental protégé
GCEm
The gift, the blood, the thrown away
EmCG
The silver chain has broken?
EmCG
Goals and dreams fulfill
EmCG
With emptiness with instinct
EmCG
With impurity and will
EmAmC
I'm your accidental protégé
GCEm
The grave of love, the yesterday
EmCG
In this, my year of three winters
EmCG
Where orchards fade, fade and fall
EmCG
Like the loaf of love's new bake
EmCG
Fallen, beautiful, adored?
EmAmC
I'm your accidental protégé
GCEm
The gift, the blood, the thrown away
EmCG
I thought I found a paradise
EmCG
But, paradise came and wept
EmCG
Like the wind through the, winter's woods
EmCG
It cowed and took a breath
EmAmC
I'm your accidental protégé
GCEm
The grave of love, the yesterday
Em, C, G (repeat 4x's)
EmAmC
I'm your accidental protégé
GCEm
The gift, the blood, the thrown away
