The one I'm using now it's covered up
Em7
with fear and filth and cowardice and shame.

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.

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."

May it be a shield for you,
a shield against the enemy.

lover, lover come back to me
yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
