[Verse 1]
Dm7 CM7 Cm9 E7b9 F
Love in a song, the only thing they said I could rely on;
G#m A#9 D# Gb Gb/Fb
To lay my bones down, lay down boy you're home again
D#m D#m/C# D#m/C D#m/A# G# F F/D#
The lamp, the locket, candle and the pen
C#m7 CbM7 Cbm9 Eb7b9 Fb
Love in a song, I've written it before it won't take very long;
Gm A9 D F F/D#
The nib will dig a hole and beckon forth once more
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/A G
To wrap me in its warm and bolt the door

C Am7 GM7
Someone's singing to you, in a song
Gm9 B7b9 C
F mantra often told, a cross to lay upon;
D#m F9 A# C# C#/Cb
The strings that tie me softly pry my hands from you
A#m A#m/G# A#m/G A#m/F D# C C/A#
To steal away before the night is through
G#m7 GbM7 Gbm9 B7b9 Cb
Love in a song, I stand among the crowd prepared to sing along;
Dm Ab7b9 A Adim7 Db
The dusty air congeals, a lump that seals my truth
Dbdim7 D Fb A A A/G
But I won't hear it anymore

Beyond the steeple, she waits for me
Fm7 A#9 D# D# D#/C#
In her robes, like a ghost;

In awful silence, she screams to me
