Am  Em  F  G  ]Am  C  F  [                                 [x 4]

Got a letter from a messenger                              [basse embarque]
I read it when it came
It said that you were wounded
You were bound and chained

  C                          F
  You had loved and you were handled
  C                          G  
  You were poisoned you were pained
  g♯ Am  Em    F           G              C                [prog. au lieu du C]
  Oh no     oh no you were naked you were shamed

You could almost touch heaven                              [drum embarque]
Right there in front of you
Liberty just slipped away on us
Now there's so much work to do

  Oh the door that closes tightly
  Is the door that can swing wide
  Oh no oh no not expecting to collide                     [vrai C]

                   F
For a minute I let my guard down
[Dm]                   C
Not afraid to be found out
              F
Completely forgotten
Dm                       C
What our fears were all about

  Oh no oh no there's no need to be without                [prog.]

Am  Em  F  G  Am  C  F   x 2  w/ solo                      [non]

[If] There's a chance ]and[ I will take it
This desire I can't kill [no]
Take my heart please don't break it
I will crawl to your foothill                              [g^a]

  I'm frightened but I'm coming
  Please baby please lay still

  Oh no oh no [I'm] not coming for the kill  x 3           [continu, fin sur C]

Am  Em  F  G  Am  C  F   x 4  w/ solo
