[Verse 1]
A#m7 G#M7 G#m9 E7b9 C#
Love in a song, the only thing they said I could rely on;
Em F#9 B D D/C
To lay my bones down, lay down boy you're home again
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Bm/F# E C# C#/B
The lamp, the locket, candle and the pen
Am7 GM7 Gm9 Eb7b9 C
Love in a song, I've written it before it won't take very long;
D#m F9 A# C# C#/B
The nib will dig a hole and beckon forth once more
A#m A#m/G# A#m/G A#m/F D#
To wrap me in its warm and bolt the door

G# Fm7 D#M7
Someone's singing to you, in a song
D#m9 B7b9 G#
C# mantra often told, a cross to lay upon;
Bm C#9 F# A A/G
The strings that tie me softly pry my hands from you
F#m F#m/E F#m/D# F#m/C# B G# G#/F#
To steal away before the night is through
Em7 DM7 Dm9 B7b9 G
Love in a song, I stand among the crowd prepared to sing along;
A#m Ab7b9 F Fdim7 Db
The dusty air congeals, a lump that seals my truth
Dbdim7 A# C F F F/D#
But I won't hear it anymore
[Outro]
C#M7 C#6 Cm Fm Fm/D#
Beyond the steeple, she waits for me
C#m7 F#9 B B B/A
In her robes, like a ghost;

In awful silence, she screams to me
Em A
It must be love
