[Intro]
Bb F A F
[Verse]
F
She stands before you naked
F
You can see it, you can taste it
F
But she comes to you
C
Light as the breeze
C
You can drink or you can nurse it
C
It don't matter how you worship
C
As long as you're
A F
Down on your knees
F
So I knelt there at the delta
F
At the alpha and the omega
F
At the cradle of the river
C
And the seas
C
And like a blessing come from heaven,
C
For something like a second,
C
I was healed, and my heart
F
Was at ease
A
O baby I waited
Dm
So long for your kiss
A
For something to happen
Bb F Dm A
Oh, something like this
F
And you're weak and you're harmless
F
And you're sleeping in you harness
F
And the wind going wild
C
In the trees
C
And it's not exactly prison
C
But you'll never be forgiven
C Em
For whatever you've done
F
With the keys
[Chorus]
A
O baby I waited
Dm
So long for your kiss
A
For something to happen
Bb C Dm
Oh - something like this
F
It's dark and it's snowing
F
Oh my love I must be going
F C
The river is starting to freeze
C
And I'm sick of pretending
C Dm
I'm broken from bending
C
I've lived too long
F
On my knees
F
And she dances so graceful
F
And your heart's hard and hateful
A
And she's naked
C
But that's just a tease
C
And you turn in disgust
C
From your hatred and from your love
C
And she comes to you
F
Light as the breeze
[Chorus]
A
O baby I waited
Dm
So long for your kiss
A
For something to happen
Bb C Dm
Oh - something like this
G
There's blood on every bracelet
G
You can see it, you can taste it
G
And it's please baby
Bm Dm
Please baby please
Dm
And she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
Dm
But don't forget there's still a woman
Bm
Beneath this
G
Resplendent chemise
G
So I knelt there at the delta
G
At the alpha and omega
G
I knelt there
Bm
Like one who believes
Dm
And like a blessing come from heaven
Bm Dm
For something like a second
Bm
I was cured, and my heart
G
Was at ease
[Chorus]
Em
O baby I waited
Bm
So long for your kiss
C
For something to happen
Dm C Dm Eb Em
Oh - something like this
