Em D C

You make yourself a prisoner of me

Em D C

You blind yourself so you don't have to see

Em D C

You turn your life to a power above

Em D C

You make yourself a hostage of love

Em D C

You turn from me, you turn from the strain

Em D C

Devote yourself to the power again

Em D C

Distance yourself from all that we avowed

Em D C

You broke those rules, you’re my hostage now

Repeat Intro

Em D C

Am A

I sinner

And I am a saint

Em D C

Am A

I devil

I am the ghost at the wake

Em D C

I feed the swell and pull

Of your tears as they break

Em D C

I am the limit of

The load you can take

You are the pulley

And I am the winch

Em D C

I am salvation

And your herald of sin

Em D C

I take you beyond

Your limits of trust

Ransom yourself

Hostage of love

You cannot be saved

You gave your innocence away

Ohhhhh

Em D C

I've turned my cheek

And I've suffered the blow

Em D

The truth of my story

Is widely unknown

Em D C

Words of derision I have

Swallowed with a smile

Em D

For telling my story

I have been crucified

Em D C

Now like a madman

I give my laurels to you

Em D C

Like a hero

Forsake my trophies for you

Em D C

Though a disciple of this devil

That is in our blood

Em D C

Am I not also

Your hostage of love?

You say you will be born again

G Bm Em D C

Since you slept there in that liar's den, (Den)
