You ve made your decision now get up and leave
Gb Ab Db
The familiar sting of the woodcutters swing to the tree
Db Ab
I’ll fall in the forest to elbows and knees.
Gb Ab Db
And it won t make a sound since there s no one around here to see
Gb Db
I was prepared to love you
Gb Db Ab
And never expect anything of you
Db Ab
If a spirit has left you baby don t lie to yourself
Gb Ab Db
Put them old records on and admit that it s gone somewhere else
Db Ab
Just because we re beasts of blame by nature doesn t mean that you should carry it again
Gb Ab Db
It s a question of needs, and not rosary beads, in the end
Gb Db
I was prepared to love you
Gb Db
And never expect anything of you
Gb
But there s no patron saint of silent restraint
Db Ab Gb
There ain t no sword in our lake
Db
Just a funeral wake
Bbm Db
You were the coldest star in the sky
Gb Db
Only I couldn t see it I was blind
Bbm Db
In come the black night calling your name since you were born
Gb Ab Db
Only I couldn t hear it I was empty as a drum
Gb Db
I was prepared to love you
Gb Db
And never expect anything of you
Gb
But there no patron saint of silent restraint
Db Ab Gb
There ain t no sword in our lake
Db Ab Gb
There ain t no sword in our lake
Db Ab Gb
There ain t no sword in our lake
Db
Just a funeral wake.
