Verse 1
(F minor) I stepped into an (D flat major) avalanche
(F minor) It covered (E flat major) up my soul (F minor)
(F minor) When I am not
this (D flat major) hunchback that you see
(F minor) I sleep be (E flat major) neath the golden (F minor) hill
(A flat major) You who wish to (Gdim) conquer pain
You must (F minor) learn, learn to serve me (D flat major) well
(D flat major) (B flat minor6) (B flat minor6) (C7)

Verse 2
(F minor) You strike my side by ac (D flat major) cident
(F minor) As you go (E flat major) down for your (F minor) gold
(F minor) The cripple here that you clothe (D flat major) and feed
(F minor) Is neither (E flat major) starved nor (F minor) cold
(A flat major) He does not ask for your (Gdim) company
Not at the (F minor) centre, the centre of the (D flat major) world
(D flat major) (B flat minor6) (B flat minor6) (C7) (C7)
Verse 3
(F minor) When I am on a (D flat major) pedestal
(F minor) You did not (E flat major) raise me (F minor) there
(F minor) Your laws do not com (D flat major) pel me
(F minor) To kneel (E flat major) grotesque (F minor) and bare
(A flat major) I myself am the (Gdim) pedestal
For this ugly (F minor) hump at which you (D flat major) stare
(D flat major) (B flat minor6) (B flat minor6) (B flat minor6) (C7)
Verse 4
(F minor) You who wish to con (D flat major) quer pain
You must (F minor) learn what (E flat major) makes me (F minor) kind
(F minor) The crumbs of love that you of (D flat major) fer me
They're the (F minor) crumbs I've (E flat major) left be (F minor) hind
(A flat major) Your pain is no cre (Gdim) dential here
It's just the (F minor) shadow, shadow of my (D flat major) wound
(D flat major) (B flat minor6) (C7)
Verse 5
(F minor) I have begun to long (D flat major) for you
(F minor) I (E flat major) who have no (F minor) greed
(F minor) I have begun to (D flat major) ask for you
(F minor) I (E flat major) who have no (F minor) need
(A flat major) You say you've gone a (Gdim) way from me
But I (F minor) can feel you when you breathe (D flat major)
(D flat major) (B flat minor6) (B flat minor6) (C7)
Verse 6
(F minor) Do not dress in those (D flat major) rags for me
(F minor) I know you (E flat major) are not (F minor) poor
(F minor) And don't love me quite so (D flat major) fiercely now
When you know (F minor) that you are (E flat major) not (F minor) sure
(A flat major) It is your turn, be (Gdim) loved
It is (F minor) your flesh that I wear (D flat major)
(D flat major) (B flat minor6) (B flat minor6) (C7) (F minor) (F minor)
