Intro 1
(G minor) (B flat major) (G minor) (B flat major)
Verse 1
I believe (A flat major) that you heard your (G minor) master sing
(A flat major) When I was sick in (G minor) bed
I sup (A flat major) pose that he told you (G minor) everything
That I (A flat major) keep locked away in my (G minor) head
Your (A flat major) master took you (C minor) travelling
Well, at (E flat major) least that's what you (F major) said
And (B flat major) now do you (D minor) come (B flat major) back to bring (D minor)
Your (E flat major) prisoner wine and (D major) bread?
(G minor) (B flat major)

Verse 2
You (A flat major) met him at some (G minor) temple
Where they (A flat major) take your clothes at the (G minor) door
He was (A flat major) just a numberless (G minor) man in a chair
Who'd (A flat major) just come back from the (G minor) war
And you (A flat major) wrap up his tired (C minor) face in your hair
And he (E flat major) hands you the apple (F major) core
Then he (B flat major) touches your (D minor) lips
now so (B flat major) suddenly bare (D minor)
Of all the (E flat major) kisses we put on some time be (D major) fore
(G minor) (B flat major)
Verse 3
And he (A flat major) gave you a German (G minor) Shepherd to walk
With a (A flat major) collar of leather and (G minor) nails
And he (A flat major) never once made you ex (G minor) plain or talk
About (A flat major) all of the little de (G minor) tails
Such as (A flat major) who had a word and (C minor) who had a rock
And (E flat major) who had you through the (F major) mails
Now your (B flat major) love is a (D minor) secret all (B flat major) over the block (D minor)
And it (E flat major) never stops,
not even when your master fails (D major)
(G minor) (B flat major)
Verse 4
And he (A flat major) took you up in his (G minor) aeroplane
Which he (A flat major) flew without any (G minor) hands
And you (A flat major) cruised above the (G minor) ribbons of rain
That (A flat major) drove the crowd from the (G minor) stands
Then he (A flat major) killed the lights in a (C minor) lonely lane
And an (E flat major) ape with angel (F major) glands
E (B flat major) rased the (D minor) final (B flat major) wisps of pain (D minor)
With the (E flat major) music of rubber bands (D major)
(G minor) (B flat major)
Verse 5
And (A flat major) now I hear your (G minor) master sing
You (A flat major) kneel for him to (G minor) come
His (A flat major) body is a (G minor) golden string
That your (A flat major) body is hanging (G minor) from
His (A flat major) body is a (C minor) golden string
My (E flat major) body has grown (F major) numb
Oh, (B flat major) now you (D minor) hear your (B flat major) master sing (D minor)
Your (E flat major) shirt is all un (D major) done
(G minor) (B flat major)
Verse 6
And (A flat major) will you kneel be (G minor) side this bed
That we (A flat major) polished so long ago (G minor)
Be (A flat major) fore your master (G minor) chose instead
To (A flat major) make my bed of (G minor) snow?
Your eyes (A flat major) are wild
and your (C minor) knuckles are red
And you're (E flat major) speaking far too (F major) low
No, I (B flat major) can't make (D minor) out
what your (B flat major) master (D minor) said
Be (E flat major) fore he made you (D major) go
(G minor) (B flat major)
Verse 7
And I (A flat major) think you're playing (G minor) far too rough
For a (A flat major) lady who's been to the moon (G minor)
I've (A flat major) lain by this window (G minor) long enough
To get (A flat major) used to an empty room (G minor)
And your (A flat major) love is some dust
in an (C minor) old man's cuff
Who is (E flat major) tapping his foot to a (F major) tune
And your (B flat major) thighs are a (D minor) ruin,
you (B flat major) want too (D minor) much
Let's (E flat major) say you came back sometime too (D major) soon
(G minor) (B flat major)
Verse 8
I (A flat major) loved your master (G minor) perfectly
And I (A flat major) taught him all that he knew (G minor)
He was (A flat major) starving in some deep (G minor) mystery
Like a (A flat major) man who is sure what is (G minor) true
And I (A flat major) sent you to him with my (C minor) guarantee
I could (E flat major) teach him something (F major) new
And I (B flat major) taught him how (D minor)
you would (B flat major) long for (D minor) me
No (E flat major) matter what he said,
no matter what you'd (D major) do
(G minor) (B flat major)
Verse 9
I be (A flat major) lieve that you heard your (G minor) master sing
While (A flat major) I was sick in (G minor) bed
I'm (A flat major) sure that he told you (G minor) everything
I must (A flat major) keep locked away in my (G minor) head
Your (A flat major) master took you (C minor) travelling
Well, at (E flat major) least that's what you (F major) said
And (B flat major) now do (D minor) you come (B flat major) back to bring (D minor)
Your (E flat major) prisoner wine and (D major) bread
