[Verse 1]
Am
I’m only gonna say it once
G Am 0 Am
When they snuff out the fire that resides in my lowly core
G Am 0 Am
When they expel me from paradise and toss me in a heap at your door
Am C G
You take the hand of a man who has soiled a grand design
Am C G
Whose blood is contraband where the veins and vines intertwine
[Chorus]
Esus4 Am Fm Am 0 Am
Well it breaks my heart every time! Every time.
C G Am 0 Am
And where my life is reduced to smoke and riddle
E Am 0 Am
Would you be my wife? Would you be my widow?
[Verse 2]
Am E Am 0 Am
Every moment we’re down on this ground I must murder a flower
C G Am 0 Am
And tornadoes of grief with teeth will devour your power
C G
You put something inside something else that renders it wild
Am C G
To invert on itself till its soul surrenders its child
[Chorus]
Esus4 Am Fm Am 0 Am
Well it breaks my heart every time! Every time.
C G Am 0 Am
I know I said I’d say it once, but I reconsidered.
E Am 0 Am
Would you be my wife? Would you be my widow?
