Verse 
Dm         Am7 
Hang on, believe 
Bb              C 
There’s nothing up my sleeve 
Dm            Am7           Bb        C 
I've got no magic tricks to save the day 
Dm           Am7 
Put down the gun 
Bb                    C 
You're not helping anyone 
Dm                Am7       Bb      C 
And I'm not about to run or back away 
Dm             Am7 
Don't walk the fence 
Bb           C 
Then come to my defense 
Dm                Am7               Bb         C 
I don't need fair weather kinds of friends around 
   Dm         Am7 
So watch and pray 
Bb                  C 
As a traitor's kiss betrays 
Dm            Am7               Bb  C 
And rest your feet of clay on shaky ground 

Gm7 
And look me in the face, at least what's left of it 
A7 
Tell me you still love me just a little bit 
     Gm7 
Or nail me down, break the skin 
Gm7 
Hard enough to do me in 
A7 
But don't leave me hanging, dying and dangling 
A7 
Twisting in the wind 


Verse 
Dm             Am7 
Here, touch my side 
Bb            C 
Let doubt be crucified 
Dm               Am7               Bb          C 
Nailed with your wounded pride to love's grim altar 
      Dm        Am7 
Here, taste my flesh 
Bb        C 
My bloody humanness 
Dm      Am7                Bb        C 
I am no phantom guest, No skinless martyr 
   Dm         Am7 
So taste and feel 
Bb              C 
There's nothing to conceal 
Dm          Am7               Bb    C 
You always knew the deal was sacrifice 
      Dm      Am7 
Stand up, be strong 
Bb              C 
When all you've got is gone 
Dm         Am7                Bb    C 
I left the light turned on in paradise 

Gm7 
And look me in the face, at least what's left of it 
A7 
Tell me you still love me just a little bit 
   Gm7 
Or nail me down, break the skin 
Gm7 
Hard enough to do me in 
           A7 
But don't leave me hanging, dying and dangling 
A7 
Twisting in the wind

Verse 
             Dm         Am7 
And when the walls cave in 
        Bb               C 
And the curtain's torn asunder 
Dm                Am7 
You'll know we're near the end 
Bb             C 
You'll hear me in the thunder 
Dm            Am7 
And when the sun grows dim 
Bb                  C 
This will be your sign and wonder 
Dm              Am7 
That soon we'll meet again 
Bb            C 
Just like we did last summer
