Dm Am7 Bb C
Verse
Dm Am7
Hang on, believe
Bb C
There?s nothing up my sleeve
Dm Am7 Bb C
I've got no magic tricks to save the day
Dm Am7
Put down the gun
Bb C
You're not helping anyone
Dm Am7 Bb C
And I'm not about to run or back away
Dm Am7
Don't walk the fence
Bb C
Then come to my defense
Dm Am7 Bb C
I don't need fair weather kinds of friends around
Dm Am7
So watch and pray
Bb C
As a traitor's kiss betrays
Dm Am7 Bb C
And rest your feet of clay on shaky ground
Gm7
And look me in the face, at least what's left of it
A7
Tell me you still love me just a little bit
Gm7
Or nail me down, break the skin
Gm7
Hard enough to do me in
A7
But don't leave me hanging, dying and dangling
A7
Twisting in the wind
Verse
Dm Am7
Here, touch my side
Bb C
Let doubt be crucified
Dm Am7 Bb C
Nailed with your wounded pride to love's grim altar
Dm Am7
Here, taste my flesh
Bb C
My bloody humanness
Dm Am7 Bb C
I am no phantom guest, No skinless martyr
Dm Am7
So taste and feel
Bb C
There's nothing to conceal
Dm Am7 Bb C
You always knew the deal was sacrifice
Dm Am7
Stand up, be strong
Bb C
When all you've got is gone
Dm Am7 Bb C
I left the light turned on in paradise
Gm7
And look me in the face, at least what's left of it
A7
Tell me you still love me just a little bit
Gm7
Or nail me down, break the skin
Gm7
Hard enough to do me in
A7
But don't leave me hanging, dying and dangling
A7
Twisting in the wind

Verse
Dm Am7
And when the walls cave in
Bb C
And the curtain's torn asunder
Dm Am7
You'll know we're near the end
Bb C
You'll hear me in the thunder
Dm Am7
And when the sun grows dim
Bb C
This will be your sign and wonder
Dm Am7
That soon we'll meet again
Bb C
Just like we did last summer
Instrumental
