[ Предположительная тональность: C ]

Capo4
               Am              C       F
They're taking pictures of the man from God
  C                 G
I hope his cassock's clean
   Am                     C    F
The burden of being our holy fellas
   C              G           C
Your halo'd better gleam, better gleam


C                     Am
What of all those wayward priests?
C                    G
The ones who like to drink
C                                  G      Am
Do you suppose they'd swap their blood for wine
C                           G     C
Like you swapped yours for ink, for ink


     Am              C    F
You wrote me oh so many letters
      C                 G
And all of them seemed true
Am               C    F
Promises look good on paper
C              G       C
Especially from you, from you


C                           Am
 The weight of all those willing words
C              G
I carried all alone
C                      G       Am
You wouldn't put your pen to bed
C                       G          C
When we hadn't found our own, our own




Am                    C    F
Your sentences rose high at night
         C            G
And circled round my head
          Am         C    F
The circle's since been broken
       C                      G       C
Like the priest before me is breaking bread


       C                              Am
I'm being asked to drink the blood of Christ
    C                    G
And soon I'll eat his flesh
C              G           Am
I'm alone again before the altar
C              G         C
Shedding all my old regrets


      Am                 C    F
The last of which I'll tell you now
C                   G
As it flies down the sink
Am               C    F
I never knew a part of you
       C          G       C
You didn't set in ink, in ink




  C                        Am
The letters that you left behind
       C           G
No longer shall I read
C            G           Am
Your blood's between the pages
C                     G      C
And I can't stand to see you bleed


            Am                 C    F
And I'll soon forget what was never there
          C              G
Your words are ash and dust
           Am                C    F
All that's left is the song I've sung
          C                   G       C
The breath I've taken and the one I must

           C                                 Am
If you're born with a love for the wrote and the writ
          C                              G
People of letters your warning stands clear
 C                        G          Am
Pay heed to your heart and not to your wit
              C               G          C
Don't say in a letter what you can't in my ear
