Weights And Measures

                    C              
You've made your decision now get 
    G
up and leave

      F'                 
The familiar sting of the 
 G'                       C
woodcutters swing to the tree

                 C               
I’ll fall in the forest to elbows 
    G
and knees.

       F'                      
And it won't make a sound since 
         G'                    C
there's no one around here to see

[Pre-Chorus]
         F'       C        Cma7
I was prepared to love you

            F'            C      G
And never expect anything of you

[Verse 2]
                C                  
If a spirit has left you baby don't
       G
 lie to yourself

       F'                    G'   
Put them old records on and admit 
               C
that it's gone somewhere else

                   C               
Just because we're beasts of blame 
by nature doesn't mean that you 
       G
should carry it again

       F'                       G'
It's a question of needs, and not 
                  C
rosary beads, in the end

[Chorus]
         F'       C       Cma7
I was prepared to love you

            F'            C      
Cma7
And never expect anything of you

                      F'
But there's no patron saint of 
silent restraint

C               G            F
There ain't no sword in our lake

                C
Just a funeral wake

[Bridge]
             Am                   C
You were the coldest star in the sky

                F            C
Only I couldn't see it I was blind

            Am                     
In come the black night calling 
  C
your name since you were born

                F'            G'  
Only I couldn't hear it I was 
          C
empty as a drum

[Chorus]
         F'       C      Cma7
I was prepared to love you

            F'            C      
Cma7
And never expect anything of you

                    F'
But there no patron saint of silent 
restraint

C               G            F
There ain't no sword in our lake

C               G            F
There ain't no sword in our lake

C               G            F
There ain't no sword in our lake

                C
Just a funeral wake.
