As recorded by Laura Marling (From the 2011 Album A CREATURE I DON'T KNOW) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
He took a bus to meet me

G
In a bar in a Tuscan hill

G
A sight I'd never seen

G
I believe in God still

G
But, wouldn't be able to stop me if I feel like running away

                                                    A  G
Wouldn't be able to stop me if I didn't want to stay
[Verse 2]
G
And the rain fell on the houses

G
And the rain fell on the trees

G
It fell its fiercest on the skulls of the willingly deceased

                                   A
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is

     G                             A   G
They put money in their hearts and God
[Verse 3]
G
Said he'd been sleeping lonely spending nights under the stars

G
Little darling, we're all lonely we don't all show our scars

G
This is my heart and my burden

Am7
And I would never bring you down like that

G
My heart, my burden

G
I would never bring you down with me
[Verse 4]
G
And the rain fell on the towers

G
And on the (?) swaying trees

G
And it hammered and raged on us unwillingly

G
The believers were forewarned and they ran into the storm

    Gmaj7               Am7
And watched the Earth's light flicker and fail

Gmaj7                    A
They watched the Earth's light flicker and fail

Gmaj7
Flicker and

Am7         G
Flicker and fail
[Outro]
     Gmaj7                         Am7
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is

     Gmaj7                         Am7
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is

     Gmaj7                         G
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is

     G                             Am7 A G
They put money in their hearts and God
