[Intro]
Bm - A - .. ..
G - A - .. ..
Bm --- ....
[Verse]
Bm - A - To think of my task is chilling.
Bm - A - To know I was carefully building
G - A - the mask I was wearing
G - A - for two years, swearing
Bm --- I'd tear it off.
[Verse]
Bm - A - I've sat in the dark explaining
Bm - A - to myself that I'm straining
G - A - too hard for feelings
G - A - I ought to find
Bm --- easily.
[Pre-chorus]
A --- Called myself Jezebel.
GM7 --- I don't believe.
[Chorus 1]
D/F# - G - Before I say that the vows we made
A - G - weigh like a stone in my heart.
D/F# - G - Family is family,
A - Bm ... don't let this tear us apart.
[Verse]
Bm - A - You lie there, an innocent baby.
Bm - A - I feel like the thief who is raiding
G - A - your home,
G - A - entering and breaking and taking
Bm --- in every room.
[Verse]
Bm - A - I know your feelings are tender
Bm - A - and that inside you the embers still glow.
G - A - But I'm a shadow,
G - A - I'm only a bed
Bm --- of blackened coal.
[Pre-chorus]
A --- Call myself Jezebel
GM7 --- for wanting to leave.
[Chorus 2]
D/F# - G - I'm not saying I'm replacing
A - G - love for some other word
D/F# - G - to describe the sacred tie
A - G - that bound me to you.
D/F# - G - I'm just saying we've mistaken
A - G - one for thousands of words.
D/F# - G - And for that mistake, I've caused you such pain
A - Bm --- that I damn that word.
[Bridge]
G - Bm - I've no more ways to hide
Bm - ..
G - A - that I'm a desolate and empty,
A - G - hollow place inside.
D/F# - G - .. ..
A - G - .. ..
[Chorus 3]
D/F# - G - I'm not saying I'm replacing
A - G - love for some other word
D/F# - G - to describe the sacred tie
A - G - that bound me to you.
D/F# - G - I'm not saying love's a plaything.
A - G - No, it's a powerful word,
D/F# - G - inspired by strong desire
A - G - to bind myself to you.
D/F# - G - How I wish that we never
A - G - had tried
D/F# - G - to be man and his wife, to weave our lives
A - G - into a blindfold over both our eyes.
[Outro]
D/F# - G - .. ..
A - Bm - .. ..
Bm ... ....
