[Verse 1]
Edim F
She stands before you naked
Bb/F F
You can see it, you can taste it
F/A Bb C
But she comes to you light as the breeze
F/G C7
You can drink or you can nurse it
F/C C7 Gm7 Cdim7
It don't matter how you worship
C7 C9/E F
As long as you're down on your knees
Gm7 F
So I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha and the omega
Bdim7/C F F/A Bb C7
At the cradle of the river and the seas
F/G C7
And like a blessing come from heaven,
F/G C7
For something like a second,
F/G C7 C7/E F
I was healed, and my heart was at ease
[Chorus]
A7
Oh baby I waited
Dm
So long for your kiss
A7
For something to happen
Bb F/A Bb F/C C#dim7
Oh, something like this

Ah
[Verse 2]
Em7b5 F
And you're weak and you're harmless
And you're sleeping in your harness
Bdim7/C F F/A Bb C7
And the wind going wild in the trees
F/G C7
And it's not exactly prison
F/G C7
But you'll never be forgiven
F/G C7 C7/E F
For whatever you've done with the keys
[Chorus]
A7
Oh baby I waited
Dm
So long for your kiss
A7
For something to happen
Bb F/A Bb F/C C#dim7
Oh, something like this
Dm7 Gm7F/ABb6Bb/C

Something like this
[Verse 3]
F
It's dark and it's snowing
Oh my love, I must be going
F/A Bb C
The river is starting to freeze
Gm7 C7
And I'm sick of pretending
Dm/G C7 F/D
And I'm broken from bending
C Em7b5 F
I've lived too long on my knees
F
And she dances so graceful
And your heart's hard and hateful
Bdim7/C F F/A Bb C7
And she's naked, but that's just a tease
F/G C7
And you turn in disgust
F/G C7
From your hatred, from your love
F/G C7 C7/E F
And she comes to you light as the breeze
[Chorus]
A7
Oh baby I waited
Dm
So long for your kiss
A7
For something to happen
Bb F/A Bb F/C C#dim7
Oh, something like this
Dm
Something like this
D
Oh
[Verse 4]
C/ED7/F#G
N.C.
Well there's blood on every bracelet
G
You can see it, you can taste it
G/B C C#dim7 D
And it's please baby, please baby, please
D9
And she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
Em9/D D7
Don't forget there's still a woman
Em/D D D7/F# G
Beneath this resplendent chemise
Am7 G
So I knelt there at the delta
C/G G Gm7/D
At the alpha and the omega
D9 G G/B C D
Now I knelt there like one who believes
D9
And like a blessing come from heaven
Em/A D7
For something like a second
Em/A D D7#5 G
I was cured, and my heart was at ease
[Chorus]
B7
Oh baby I waited
Em
So long for your kiss
B7
For something to happen
C G/B C G/D C
Oh, something like this
C#dim7 G/D B7/D# Em
Something like this
A7 C/D Em7 D7/F# G
Oh, something like this
Yeah
