[Verse]
GmYes my love, I conAbfess to you
GmI am only here to break your Abheart in two
BbThe very flower you Abchose that day
BbIts only task was Abto decay
CmYou see?
GmWhen I watched your first Abbathing
GmI only warned you with a Ablowered voice
Bb"Be wary of my river's Abundertow
BbIt flows with water from the Abcoldest source"
CmDid you hear?

[Chorus]
FAnd then I made sure
FYou would always reEbturn
FYou still know of dawn
FBut you always reEbturn
[Verse] 
GmWhen you hid under Abmy black wings
GmThey couldn't have protected you from Abanything
BbOnce in flight they would Abhave let go
BbYou would have once again wound Abup below
CmOnly broken
GmIndeed, it's wrong to keep you Abnear me
GmOne could call me cruel and deAbceiving
BbBut in your sacred air I am Abfull of light
BbYour loving arms are the Abtrue delight
CmTo which I'm lostGm  
[Chorus]
FAnd you've noticed it
FThere is something right Ebhere
FYou have come to love, yes you've come to love
FWhat you always will Gfear
