[Verse 1]
Gm Gm7 The priest sat in the airport bar Dm Gm He was wearing his father's tie Gm Gm7 And his eyes looked into my eyes so far Dm Gm Whenever the words ran dry Gm Gm7 Behind the lash and the circles blue Dm9 D D7 He looked as only a priest can, thru Gm Gm7 And his eyes said me and his eyes said you Dm D Gm And my eyes said let us try

[Verse 2]
Gm Gm7 He said, "You wouldn't like it here Dm Gm No, it's no place you should share Gm Gm7 The roof is ripped with hurricanes Dm Gm And the room is always bare Gm Gm7 I need the wind and I seek the cold" Dm9 D D7 He reached past the wine for my hand to hold Gm Gm7 And he saw me young and he saw me old Dm D Gm And he saw me sitting there

[Verse 3]
Gm Gm7 Then he took his contradictions out Dm Gm And he splashed them on my brow Gm Gm7 So which words was I then to doubt Dm Gm When choosing what to vow Gm Gm7 Should I choose them all-should I make them mine Dm D D7 The sermons the hymns and the valentines Gm Gm7 And he asked for truth and he asked for time Dm D Gm And he asked for only now

[Verse 4]
Gm Gm7 Now the trials are trumpet scored Dm Gm Oh will we pass the test Gm Gm7 Or just as one loves more and more Dm Gm Will one love less and less Gm Gm7 Oh come let's run from this ring we're in Dm9 D D7 Where the Christians clap and the Germans grin Gm Gm7 Saying let them lose, crying let them win Dm D Gm Oh make them both confess
