[Intro]
Am G F Am
[Verse 1]
Am G There was no light, shining through the window F Am As Margaret lie in bed Am G She was wearing her cotton pajamas F Am A crucifix above her head
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Am She awoke from a dream Em Her eyes were open G F Her lips were moving in the dark
[Chorus]
Am G Speak to me in many voices F Am Make them all sound like one G Let me see your sacred mysteries F Am Reveal to me the Unknown Tongue F Am Reveal to me the Unknown Tongue
[Verse 2]
Am G She put her hands upon her breasts F And they were small and hard and young Am G And everywhere she touched, she felt the fire F Am Waiting for the answer that must surely come
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Am Is this the way to love? Em G F Or is this just the way to die?
[Chorus]
Am G Speak to me in many voices F Am Make them all sound like one G Let me see your sacred mysteries F Am Reveal to me the Unknown Tongue F Am Reveal to me the Unknown Tongue
[Piano Solo]
Am G F F (x3)
Am
[Verse 3]
Am G And then she took her father's razor F And watched it cut into her palm Am G She put her hand up to her mouth F To taste the blood so holy and warm Em Am She got up in the morning Em G F Put on her dress, and patent leather shoes Am Em Ate her cereal, and kissed her mother G F Caught the bus, and went to school
[Outro Chorus]
Am G Speak to me in many voices F Am Make them all sound like one G Let me see your sacred mysteries F Am Reveal to me the Unknown Tongue F Am Reveal to me the Unknown Tongue F Am Reveal to me, reveal to me F Am Reveal to me, reveal to me F Am Reveal to me, reveal to me F Am Reveal to me, reveal to me F Am Reveal to me, reveal to me
