[D]You had love and you were [G]handled
[D]You were poisoned you were [A]pained
Oh no[Bm],[F#] Oh no,[G] you were [A]naked
You were [Bm]shamed [F#], [G], [a]
[Bm]You could [F#]almost touch [G]hea[A]ven
[Bm]Right [F#]there in front of [G]you [A]
[Bm]Liber[F#]ty just slipped a[G]way on us[A]
[Bm]Now there's [F#]so much work to [G]do [A]
[D]Oh the door that closes [G]tightly
[D]Is the door than can swing [A]wide
Oh no[Bm] [F#]Oh no[G] not ex[A]pecting to collide [D] (5 BEATS)
For a minute I let [G]my guard down [Em]
Not afraid to be found [D]out (5 BEATS)
I completely for[G]got dear [Em]
What our fears were all about [D]

[Bm]Take my [F#]heart please don't [G]break it [A]
[Bm]I will [F#]crawl to your foot[G]hill [A]
[D]I'm frightened but I'm [G]coming
[D]Please baby please lay [A]still
Oh no[Bm] [F#], Oh no[G], I'm not [A]coming for the [Bm]kill[F#]

Oh no,[G] Iā??m not [A]coming for the [D]kill.
Peace,
