(E major) man from (F major) God
I (C major) hope his cas (G major) sock's clean
The (A minor) burden of being our (E major) holy (F major) fellas

Verse 2
What of all those (G major) wayward (A minor) priests?
The (C major) ones who like to (G major) drink
Do (C major) you suppose they'd swap
their (G major) blood for (A minor) wine
Like (C major) you swapped yours for (G major) ink, for ink (C major)
You (A minor) wrote me oh so
Verse 3
(E major) many (F major) letters
And (C major) all of them seemed (G major) true
(A minor) Promises look good on (F major) paper
Es (C major) pecially from (G major) you, from (C major) you
Verse 4
The weight of all those (G major) willing (A minor) words
I (C major) carried all (G major) alone
You (C major) wouldn't put your (G major) pen to (A minor) bed
When we (C major) hadn't found our (G major) own, our
(C major) own (F major)
(D minor) (E major) (C major) (F major)
Verse 5
(D minor) (E major) (C major) (G major)
Your (A minor) sentences rose (E major) high at (F major) night
And (C major) circled round my (G major) head
The (A minor) circle's since been broken
(F major) Like the (C major) priest before me is
(G major) breaking (C major) bread
Verse 6
I'm (C major) being asked to drink the
(G major) blood of (A minor) Christ
And (C major) soon I'll eat his (G major) flesh
I'm (C major) alone again be (G major) fore the (A minor) altar
(C major) Shedding all my (G major) old re (C major) grets
Verse 7
The (A minor) last of which I'll (E major) tell you (F major) now
As (C major) it flies down the (G major) sink
I (A minor) never knew a (E major) part of (F major) you
You (C major) didn't set in (G major) ink, in (C major) ink
Verse 8
(C major) The letters that you (G major) left be (A minor) hind
No (C major) longer shall I (G major) read
Your (C major) blood's between the (G major) pages (A minor)
And (C major) I can't stand to (G major) see you (C major) bleed

(G major) (C major) (G major) (A minor) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 9
And I'll (A minor) soon forget what
was (E major) never (F major) there
Your (C major) words are ash and (G major) dust
(A minor) All that's left is the (E major) song I've (F major) sung
The (C major) breath I've taken and the (G major) one I (C major) must
Verse 10
If (C major) you're born with a love for
the (G major) wrote and the (A minor) writ
(C major) People of letters your
(G major) warning stands clear
Pay (C major) heed to your heart and
(G major) not to your (A minor) wit
Don't (C major) say in a letter what you (G major) can't in my (C major) ear
