[Verse 1]
 Em7        Am5
     I asked my father,

                                Em7
     I said, "Father change my name."

                 Am5
     The one I'm using now it's covered up

                                            Em7
     with fear and filth and cowardice and shame.
[Chorus]
              C3
     Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,

                        G3
     lover, lover come back to me,

              C3
     yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,

                        G3
     lover, lover come back to me.
[Verse 2]
                  Am5...
     He said, "I locked you in this body,
I meant it as a kind of trial. You can use it for a weapon, or to make some woman smile." [Chorus] (same as above) yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. [Verse 3] (same as verse 1) "Then let me start again," I cried, "please let me start again, I want a face that's fair this time, I want a spirit that is calm." [Chorus] (same as above) Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. [Verse 4] (same as verse 1) "I never never turned aside," he said, "I never walked away. It was you who built the temple, it was you who covered up my face." [Chorus] (same as above) yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. [Verse 5] (same as verse 1) And may the spirit of this song, may it rise up pure and free. May it be a shield for you, a shield against the enemy. [Chorus] (same as above) Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me.
