[Verse 1]
F#m7 EM7 Em9 E7b9 A
Love in a song, the only thing they said I could rely on;
Cm D9 G A# A#/Ab
To lay my bones down, lay down boy you're home again
Gm Gm/F Gm/E Gm/D C A A/G
The lamp, the locket, candle and the pen
Fm7 EbM7 Ebm9 Eb7b9 Ab
Love in a song, I've written it before it won't take very long;
Bm C#9 F# A A/G
The nib will dig a hole and beckon forth once more
F#m F#m/E F#m/D# F#m/C# B
To wrap me in its warm and bolt the door

[Verse 2]
E C#m7 BM7
Someone's singing to you, in a song
Bm9 B7b9 E
A mantra often told, a cross to lay upon;
Gm A9 D F F/Eb
The strings that tie me softly pry my hands from you
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/A G E E/D
To steal away before the night is through
Cm7 A#M7 A#m9 B7b9 Eb
Love in a song, I stand among the crowd prepared to sing along;
Gbm Ab7b9 Db Dbdim7 Db
The dusty air congeals, a lump that seals my truth
Dbdim7 Gb Ab Db C# C#/B
But I won't hear it anymore
[Outro]
AM7 A6 G#m C#m C#m/B
Beyond the steeple, she waits for me
Am7 D9 G G G/F
In her robes, like a ghost;
EbM7 Eb6 Dm Gm G/F
In awful silence, she screams to me
Cm F
It must be love
