Intro 
            Dm  Dsus2  Dm 
I'm getting older 
            Bb  Bb(b5)  Bb 
I need your shoulder 
            G 
I need your love 
                Am 
And I need your blood 

 
            Dm  Dsus2  Dm 
I want your honey 
               Bb  Bb(b5)  Bb 
I'll take your money 
             G 
I'll pay you back 
             Am  G 
I'll get the cash 
            F 
With you my life has begun 
      Bb 
I was on the run 
              G 
We've got the time it takes to burn out the sun 
        C                     Dm  Dsus2  Dm 
And the heart's desperately undone 


 
          Dm  Dsus2  Dm 
I've been so afraid 
          Bb  Bb(b5)  Bb 
My body's burnt and laid 
         G           Am  G 
Out on a table at my wake 
        F 
And the radio's on 
     Bb 
It's playing my song 
         G 
It's the one that will take us to the end 
        C                              Dm 
If we defend our love and our souls we mend 


 
        Dm  Dsus2  Dm 
Can you hear my words? 
        Bb  Bb(b5)  Bb 
Can you feel my worth? 
G           Gsus4  G     Am        Dm 
Can you read my mind and share the rest of time? 


 
D                   Esus4  E 
I was making my own bed 
                   D    D6  D 
I was picturing my death 
      D/C#      Bm 
I was lost in a fire 
              Esus4              E 
And you saved me with your desire 
                Bm 
Can you hear me now? 
                    D 
It's time to take a bow 
       D/C#      Bm                 G 
Out of this last life, born of sacrifice
