[Intro]

0  Am   C  Am  
0  Am   C  G  
C Am G Am
[Verse 1]
AmI’m only gonna say it once
                                                    G   Am0 Am  
When they snuff out the fire that resides in my lowly core
                                                             G   Am0 Am  
When they expel me from paradise and toss me in a heap at your door
AmYou take the hand of a man who has soCiled a grand Gdesign
AmWhose blood is contraband where the vCeins and vines iGntertwine
[Chorus]
             Esus4         Am          Fm   Am0 Am  
Well it breaks my heart every time! Every time.
                      C               G   Am0 Am  
And where my life is reduced to smoke and riddle
                                     E   Am0 Am  
Would you be my wife? Would you be my widow?
[Verse 2]
                               Am                       E   Am0 Am  
Every moment we’re down on this ground I must murder a flower
                             C                      G   Am0 Am  
And tornadoes of grief with teeth will devour your power
You put something inside something elCse that renders it wGild
TAmo invert on itself till its sCoul surrenders its cGhild
[Chorus]
              Esus4         Am          Fm   Am0 Am  
Well it breaks my heart every time! Every time.
                         C             G   Am0 Am  
I know I said I’d say it once, but I reconsidered.
                                 E   Am0 Am  
Would you be my wife? Would you be my widow?
