Verse 1
(A minor) I stepped into an (F major) avalanche
(A minor) It covered (G major) up my soul (A minor)
When I am not this (F major) hunchback that you see
(A minor) I sleep be (G major) neath the golden (A minor) hill (C major)
You who wish to (E major) conquer pain
You must (A minor) learn to serve me
(F major) well
(Esus4) (E major)
Verse 2
(A minor)
You strike my side (F major) by accident
(A minor) As you go (G major) down to your (A minor) goal
This cripple here that you (F major) clothe and feed
Is (A minor) neither (G major) starved (A minor) nor cold (C major)
He does not ask (E major) for your company
Not at the (A minor) centre,
the centre of the (F major) world

Verse 3
I (Esus4) (E major) who (A minor) am on a (F major) pedestal
(A minor) You did not (G major) raise me (A minor) there
Your laws do not com (F major) pel me now
(A minor) To kneel (G major) grotesque (A minor) and bare
For (C major) I myself (E major) am the pedestal
For this (A minor) ugly hump at which
you (F major) stare
(Esus4) (E major)
Verse 4
(A minor)
You who wish to (F major) conquer pain
(A minor) You must learn (G major) what makes
(A minor) me kind
The crumbs of love that (F major) you
offer me
Are the crumbs (A minor) I've (G major) left be (A minor) hind (C major)
Your pain is no (E major) credential here
It's just a (A minor) shadow of my
(F major) wound
(Esus4) (E major)
Verse 5
(A minor)
I have begun to (F major) ask for you (A minor)
I who (G major) have no (A minor) greed
I have begun to (F major) long for you (A minor)
I who (G major) have no (A minor) need (C major)
You say you've gone (E major) away from me
But I can (A minor) feel you when you (F major)
breathe
(Esus4) (E major)
Verse 6
(A minor)
Do not dress in those (F major) rags for me
(A minor) I know you (G major) are not (A minor) poor
And do not love me quite
so (F major) fiercely now
When you (A minor) know that (G major) you are (A minor) not sure (C major)
It is your turn, (E major) my beloved one
It is (A minor) your flesh that I (F major) wear
Outro 1
(F major) (Esus4) (E major) (E major) (A minor)
