[N] [G] [E]
[Am]
Forgive me, [C]
hearer, I cannot stay
[D] He cut out [C] my tongue, there is nothing to [Am] say
Love me, [C] O Lord
He threw me away
He laughed at my sins
In His arms [A] I must stay
[Am] He [G] wrote, [E]
[F] I'm broke
[Am]
Please send [A] for me
[Am]
But I'm broken [F] too

Do [G] not [Am] tempt me
Her skin is [C] white

[C] He had to leave the way I [A] begged Him to stay
[F] Begged Him to [E] stay in my cold wooden grip
Begged Him to stay by the light of this ship
[Am] [C] Me fighting Him, fighting life, [Dm] fighting dawn
[C] And the waves came and stole Him and [E] took Him to [Am] war
He [E] wrote,
[F] I'm broke
[Am]
