      Asus2          G
I was tired o' being drunk

   Em                   C
My face cracked like a joke

     G                         D 
So I swung through here like a brace of jackrabbits

          F         C
With their necks all broke

   Am             G
I stumbled at the door with my boot

    Em                     C
And I knocked against the jamb

      G                      D
And I scrabbled at your chest like a mute

        F          C
With my fists of ham

(G      A) Em             C
Trying to tell you that I am

Em          C
Telling you I can

G G/F# Em   Bbmaj7    G
I can      love you again

     F    G
Love you again

    Am                 G
I'm squinting towards the East

    Em              C
My faith makes me a dope

            G                    D
But you can take my hand in the darkness, darling

       F          C
Like a length of rope

  Am        G
I shaped up overnight, you know

    Em             C
The day after she died

       G                   D
When I saw my heart, and I tell you, darling

       F    G
It was open wide

 (G      A) Em             C
Trying to tell you that I am

Em          C
Telling you I can

G G/F# Em   Bbmaj7    G
I can      love you again

     F    G
Love you again

    Am             G
And it can have no bounds, you know

Em             C
It can have no end

            G                    C 
But you can take my hand in the darkness, darling

         F         C
When you need a friend

    Am              G
And it can change in shape and form

   Em               C
But never change in size

          G               D
Well, the water, it runs deep, my darling

         F         C
Where it don't run wide

    Am           G
The feather of a hawk was bound

 Em             C
Bound around my neck

  G                D
A poultice made of fig

                 F       C
The eager little vultures peck

        Am              G
And the verse I read in jest

    Em               C
And Matthew spoke to me

                G                       D
Said, there's a flame that moves like a low-down pest

              F         C
That says, "you will be free"

(G      A) Em             C
Trying to tell you that I am

Em          C
Telling you I can

G G/F# Em   Bbmaj7    G
I can      love you again

     F    G
Love you again

Bbmaj7   C
Love you again

F       C
Love you again

Bbmaj7   C
Love you again

F       C
Love you again

Bbmaj7   C
Love you again

F       C
Love you again

Bbmaj7   C
Love you again

F  
Love you
