[Verse 1]

Love in a song, the only thing they said I could rely on;
Am B9 E G G/F
To lay my bones down, lay down boy you're home again
Em Em/D Em/C# Em/B A F# F#/E
The lamp, the locket, candle and the pen
Dm7 CM7 Cm9 Eb7b9 F
Love in a song, I've written it before it won't take very long;
G#m A#9 D# F# F#/E
The nib will dig a hole and beckon forth once more
D#m D#m/C# D#m/C D#m/A# G#
To wrap me in its warm and bolt the door

C# A#m7 G#M7
Someone's singing to you, in a song
G#m9 B7b9 C#
F# mantra often told, a cross to lay upon;
Em F#9 B D D/C
The strings that tie me softly pry my hands from you
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Bm/F# E C# C#/B
To steal away before the night is through
Am7 GM7 Gm9 B7b9 C
Love in a song, I stand among the crowd prepared to sing along;
Ebm Ab7b9 A# A#dim7 Db
The dusty air congeals, a lump that seals my truth
Dbdim7 Eb F A# A# A#/G#
But I won't hear it anymore
[Outro]
F#M7 F#6 Fm A#m A#m/G#
Beyond the steeple, she waits for me
F#m7 B9 E E E/D
In her robes, like a ghost;
CM7 C6 Bm Em E/D
In awful silence, she screams to me
Am D
It must be love
