  			G            C            Em    G 
I took your counsel and came to ruin 
D              G           C              G 
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself  (repeat)

   Oh      I  was made to live without you

But I’m never going to understand, never understand 
G            C            Em    G 
  Oh      I   was   born  to live without you 
         D              G                   C                 G

Looked up full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier that’s going doooown 



I thought it over and drew the curtain 
Leave me to my cell, lead me to my cell 
I hummed the dies irae as you played the hallelujah 
Leave me to cell, don’t leave me in my cell 

If you’ve been made to serve amaster you’d 
Be frightened by the open hand, frightened by the hand 
 Could I’ve been made to serve a master 
Well I’m never going to understand, never understand 

Hold me in your everlasting arms 
Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier that’s going down 
Hold me in your everlasting arms 
Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier that’s going down 

Hold me in your everlasting arms...
