Weights And Measures

                    C                  G
You've made your decision now get up and leave
      F'                  G'                       C
The familiar sting of the woodcutters swing to the tree
                 C                   G
I’ll fall in the forest to elbows and knees.
       F'                               G'                    C
And it won't make a sound since there's no one around here to see

         F'       C        Cma7
I was prepared to love you
            F'            C      G
And never expect anything of you

                C                         G
If a spirit has left you baby don't lie to yourself
       F'                    G'                  C
Put them old records on and admit that it's gone somewhere else
                   C                                                      G
Just because we're beasts of blame by nature doesn't mean that you should carry it again
       F'                       G'                  C
It's a question of needs, and not rosary beads, in the end

         F'       C       Cma7
I was prepared to love you
            F'            C      Cma7
And never expect anything of you
                      F'
But there's no patron saint of silent restraint
C               G            F
There ain't no sword in our lake
                C
Just a funeral wake

             Am                   C
You were the coldest star in the sky
                F            C
Only I couldn't see it I was blind
            Am                       C
In come the black night calling your name since you were born
                F'            G'            C
Only I couldn't hear it I was empty as a drum

         F'       C      Cma7
I was prepared to love you
            F'            C      Cma7
And never expect anything of you
                    F'
But there no patron saint of silent restraint
C               G            F
There ain't no sword in our lake
C               G            F
There ain't no sword in our lake
C               G            F
There ain't no sword in our lake
                C
Just a funeral wake.
