I’lEml be such a very Cgood friend
HavGe mercy on my soulD

Em C G D Em C G D

|||| ||||

The rope that’s wrapped around me

Em C

Is cutting through my skin

G D G D

And the doubts that have surrounded me

Are finding their way in

I keep it close to me

Like a holy man prays

In my desperate hour

Have mercy on my soul

Em C

I will never let you know

G D

Where my mind has been

Am D

Angels never came down

Em C G D

There’s no one here they want to hang around

Em C Am D

But if they knew

Em C

If they knew you at all

G D

Then one by one the angels

Em C

Angels would fall

G Em

I’ve crept into your temple

Em C

I have slept upon your pew

G D G D

I’ve dreamed of the divinity

Em C

Inside and out of you

G D G D

I want it more than truth

Em C

I can taste it on my breath

C D

I would give my life just for a little death

Em C G D

So I’ll come by and see you again

Em C G D

I’ll be just a very good friend

Em C

I will not look upon your face

G D

I will not touch upon your grace

Em C

Your ecclesiastic skin

G D

I’ll come by and see you again

Em C G D

I’ll have to be a very good friend

Em C G D

If I whisper they will know

E C D

I’ll just turn around and go

Em C

You will never know my sin
