Verse
[F#m]I waited by your bed[D]side,
Daug Bm
And couldn't close my eyes all night.
I [G]named you like a p[F#m]rayer.
It's anybody's g[D]uess how,
Daug Bm
The angel of doubt came down,
And [G]crept into your [F#m]bed.
D Daug Bm
But after we danced to the shipping forecast,
The w[G]ords escaped your mo[F#m]uth:
"I know it's gotta s[D]top love, but I d[A]on't know [D]how."
Now the stairs forget your sh[D]oes,
Daug Bm
And the gate don't creak for want of you.
But the j[G]ury's out on [F#m]me.
We're wise beyond our [D]years,
Daug Bm
But we're good at bad ideas, my love.
Or [G]so it seems to [A]be.
Bridge:
[D]Shine a little light,
Daug
Don't wrestle with the night,
Don't t[Bm]hink about the future n[G]ow.
I know it's gotta s[D]top love but I d[A]on't know [D]how.
Chorus:
[Em]My little [G]one, my kettle d[D]rum,[A]
[Em]My babel t[G]ongue, my come-u[D]ndone,[A]
[Em]My prison [G]kiss, my dying w[D]ish,(I know I had a m[A]essage at the start.)
[Em] [F#m] [G] But it up and abandoned us,[A] when we were sleeping in our beds.

Verse/Outro:
D Daug Bm
It's anybody's guess how the angel of doubt laid down
[G]Sand beneath our ho[F#m]use.
I know it's gotta s[D]top love, but I d[A]on't know[D] how.
I know it's gotta s[D]top love, but I d[A]on't know[D] how.
