Am                    C                          G
 Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed

D                          Am
 Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams

Am              C                                   G
 In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed

D                                          Am
 To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams
[Chorus]
Am
I and I

      G                 D              Am
In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives

Am
I and I

G               D             Am
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[Verse]
Am          C                   G
 Think I’ll go out and go for a walk

D                        Am
 Not much happenin’ here, nothin’ ever does

Am                     C                   G
 Besides, if she wakes up now, she’ll just want me to talk

D                      Am
I got nothin’ to say, ’specially about whatever was
[Chorus]
Am
I and I

      G                 D              Am
In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives

Am
I and I

G               D             Am
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[Verse]
Am                 C                    G
 Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don’t win the race

D                                 Am
 It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth

Am                  C            G
 Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice’s beautiful face

D                                   Am
 And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
[Chorus]
Am
I and I

      G                 D              Am
In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives

Am
I and I

G               D             Am
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[Verse]
Am                       C                      G
 Outside of two men on a train platform there’s nobody in sight

D                                   Am
 They’re waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track

Am               C                           G
 The world could come to an end tonight, but that’s all right

D                                        Am
 She should still be there sleepin’ when I get back
[Chorus]
Am
I and I

      G                 D              Am
In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives

Am
I and I

G               D             Am
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[Verse]
Am                       C                        G
 Noontime, and I’m still pushin’ myself along the road, the darkest part

D                               Am
 Into the narrow lanes, I can’t stumble or stay put

Am               C                               G
 Someone else is speakin’ with my mouth, but I’m listening only to my heart

D                                                Am
 I’ve made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot
[Chorus]
Am
I and I

      G                 D              Am
In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives

Am
I and I

G               D             Am
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
