[Verse 1]
Em G
I found the binding of the yoke
C G F#m
That connects us here, in this herd of hope
Em Bm
Escort me to your kingdom come
C Em C Em C Em
From the gallows' hold, and the things we've done
[Verse 2]
Em Bm
You stole so much, so much at times
C G F#m
Just being bad, like the books we read
Em Bm
The helplessness that you played upon
G Em
Was just tenderness, to disarm
[Verse 3]
C D
She ushered in love, but it drove you mad
C G
Not to have everything of your envisioning
C G
She wandered in on the peace you lacked
Em C
Yeah and you're losing still, that life you could've had
[Instrumental]
Em C Em
[Verse 4]
Em G Bm
Tell that story one more time for me
C G
Of the baited fields just for the taking dear
Em Bm
Where you heard the hunter's call
C G
But your discipline kept you from the fall
Em C G
But oh, to hold that tenderness in these grubby hands
[Verse 5]
D
I'd shoot anything
C G
And you laughed at me, but you know I'm right
Em C Em Bm C G
So why do you claim the strength to put up a fight
C D
And you hold your nightmares close from view
[Verse 6]
C G
The horses going wild, under a breaking moon
C G
There's no way the bridle ever fits the bride
Em C Em C Em C Em
Yeah, and the weight of it, that's why we're here
