Intro
C#
[Verse 1]
G#m7 F#M7 F#m9 E7b9 B
Love in a song, the only thing they said I could rely on;
Dm E9 A C C/A#
To lay my bones down, lay down boy you're home again
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/E D B B/A
The lamp, the locket, candle and the pen
Gm7 FM7 Fm9 Eb7b9 A#
Love in a song, I've written it before it won't take very long;
C#m D#9 G# B B/A
The nib will dig a hole and beckon forth once more
G#m G#m/F# G#m/F G#m/D# C#
To wrap me in its warm and bolt the door

F# D#m7 C#M7
Someone's singing to you, in a song
C#m9 B7b9 F#
B mantra often told, a cross to lay upon;
Am B9 E G G/F
The strings that tie me softly pry my hands from you
Em Em/D Em/C# Em/B A F# F#/E
To steal away before the night is through
Dm7 CM7 Cm9 B7b9 F
Love in a song, I stand among the crowd prepared to sing along;
Abm Ab7b9 Eb Ebdim7 Db
The dusty air congeals, a lump that seals my truth
Dbdim7 Ab A# Eb D# D#/C#
But I won't hear it anymore
[Outro]
BM7 B6 A#m D#m D#m/C#
Beyond the steeple, she waits for me
Bm7 E9 A A A/G
In her robes, like a ghost;

In awful silence, she screams to me
Dm G
It must be love
