Am Em F
My precious wife, I am in shambles
I am crumbling, I am
Am Em
Was it something I did
F
Bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up
Am Em
I can fix it, I swear
F
If you trust me
Am Em F
I am old and I am rusting but I care
I care
Am Em F
(same chords as previous verse)
My precious wife, we made a promise
Pledged our flesh to be one
How can you doubt a love that stood so proud as we raised our children
I believe in it still
It has faltered and it has faded
But I know it's there
It's there
Am
And how'd it change
Em
The way you thought of me
F
How strange to think we once were lovers
Am Em
Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass
F Am
And when you speak my name you shudder
Em F
My precious wife, believe I'll save this
I'll revive it, I will
Am Em F
We've built a family from this marriage
Why would you tear it apart?
Am Em F (2x)
Am
Speak now, precious
F
Your silence screams
You're giving in to your failure
C Em
Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to keep forever
E Am
Until we die, you're not allowed to change your mind
Am
Oh husband, I could not control it
F
Husband, I could not abstain
C
One cannot stop the wind from blowing
Em E
Nor refuse the falling rain
Am
Love stirred up a storm inside me
F
Wrapped its arms around my waist
C Em E
I failed you dear, I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry
Am
But there was nothing I could do
F
No, there was nothing I could do
C
Sure as the rain will fall
Em E
Some love just fails
Am
There was nothing I could do
F
There was nothing I could do
C
There was nothing I could do
Em E Am
There was nothing I could do
