Chords

From the album The Future [Intro] C G x4 [Verse 1]
      C
She stands before you naked

        Dm
You can see it, you can taste it,

         G                          C
And she comes to you light as the breeze

              C
Now you can drink it or you can nurse it,

          Dm
It don't matter how you worship

    G                            C
As long as you're down on your knees
[Verse 2]
       C
So I knelt there at the delta,

       Dm
At the alpha and the omega,

         G                          C
At the cradle of the river and the seas

             C
And like a blessing come from heaven

     Dm
For something like a second

       G                         C
I was healed and my heart was at ease
[Chorus]
   E7
O baby I waited

    Am
So long for your kiss

     E7
For something to happen,

F                   C
Oh something like this
[Interlude] Edim7 Fdim7 G#dim7 G [Verse 3]
            C
And you're weak and you're harmless

             Dm
And you're sleeping in your harness

         G                       C
And the wind going wild in the trees

        C
And it ain't exactly prison

           Dm
But you'll never be forgiven

         G                         C
For whatever you've done with the keys
[Chorus]
   E7
O baby I waited

    Am
So long for your kiss

     E7
For something to happen,

F                   C
Oh something like this
[Interlude] Edim7 Fdim7 G#dim7 G [Verse 4]
      C
It's dark now and it's snowing

      Dm
O my love I must be going,

     G                     C
The river has started to freeze

         C
And I'm sick of pretending

     Dm
I'm broken from bending

      G                     C
I've lived too long on my knees
[Verse 5]
          C
Then she dances so graceful

          Dm
And your heart's hard and hateful

           G                       C
And she's naked but that's just a tease

         C
And you turn in disgust

           Dm
From your hatred and from your love

         G                          C
And she comes to you light as the breeze
[Chorus]
   E7
O baby I waited

    Am
So long for your kiss

     E7
For something to happen,

F                   C
Oh something like this

                Edim7 Fdim7 G#dim7 G
Something like this
[Verse 6]
          C
There's blood on every bracelet

         Dm
You can see it, you can taste it,

           G                           C
And it's please, baby, please, baby, please

         C
And she says, drink deeply, pilgrim

             Dm
But don't forget there's still a woman

   G                       C
Beneath this resplendent chemise
[Bridge]
       E7
So I knelt there at the delta,

       Am
At the alpha and the omega,

   E7                         F
I knelt there like one who believes

          C
And the blessings come from heaven

        Edim7 Fdim7      G#dim7
And for something like a second

     G
I'm cured and my heart is at ease
[Outro Solo] C Dm G x2 (Fade out)
