doesn't have to sink a level 
B    F#   G#m         F# 
Indiscrete   in his retreat 
       E              B 
All he need is just a taste  
       C# 
of the bitter pride  
   F# 
he held in her name

  When he knows fools  
   F#/Bb        G#m 
in love are arrogant 
              F# 
Their sermons cloud  
              E 
his breathing air 
        B

verse 3: 
B       F# 
Here he is  
 G#m        F# 
awaiting sentence

  A fool to think that  
       C# 
anyone can escape  
F#            (hold) 
guilt and anguish 
B         F#/Bb 
  A subtlety that 
         G#m 
can't be learned

A subtlety that 
         E 
can't be taught

lure of second thoughts

-care  
      A 
As he settles  
           B 
down well aware 
         F# 
Bound in secrecy 
    G#m 
His voice will 
     Eb            G#m  E Eb 
only dignify their fears 
    A              B 
but sorrow is signified 
           A(hold)     B    A G#m E E A C#m E 
He's well aware of his pride
