   Cm7  Cm7/   Ab  
I have Cm7been to the shadowland
  Cm7/ Ab  
I heard the empty call
of Cm7/Fhatred, anorexia
Cm7/             Ab  Gm/B  
Misery and alcohol
By their Cm7hearths I warmed myself
     Cm7/Ab  
To escape from the winter years
Until I Cm7/Fsaw in the window
       Cm7/                  Ab  Gm/B  
Myself crying fire-coloured tears
CmLove, the only alchemy
Cm/Ab  
Love, the killer of despair
Cm/F  
Love, the patient samurai
Cm/                      Ab  Gm/B  
Love, the armour angels wear
        Cm  Cm7/ Ab  
Love
They Cm7turned away the prophet
                Cm7/Ab  
Because she was young and full of longing
Instead they Cm7/Fturned to the magistrate
        Cm7/        Ab  Gm/B  
Who was busy yawning
And they Cm7try to sell me holy books
          Cm7/Ab  
But I can see their eyes are wild
I caught them Cm7/Fpouring shame and fear
         Cm7/                  Ab  Gm/B  
Into the perfect vessel of a child
CmBue love's the only alchemy
Cm/Ab  
Love, the killer of despair
Cm/F  
Love, the true nobility
Cm/                       Ab  Gm/B  
Love, the armour angels wear
CmLove
Cm7/Ab  
Love will make your eyes clear
Cm7/FThe order of the universe
Cm7/                      Ab  Cm7
