G            C      G
Oh love, you were a sickly child
Em           C   G
And how the wind knocked you down
Em           C     Em        C
Put on your spurs, swagger around
G                C          G
In the desperate kingdom of love


G         C                G
Holy water cannot help you now
Em              C    G
Your mysterious eyes cannot help you
Em           C     Em        C
Selling your reason will not bring you through
G                C          G
The desperate kingdom of love


Dm                  Am         G
There's another who looks from behind your eyes
Dm           Am  G
I learn from you how to hide
G                  C          G
From the desperate kingdom of love


G             C            G
At the end of this burning world
Em              C   Em     C
You'll stand proud, face upheld
Em           C       Em        C
And I'll follow you, into Heaven or Hell
Em          C   Em    C
And I'll become, as a girl
G                C          G
In the desperate kingdom of love
