Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 You've made your decision now get up and leave

 The familiar sting of the woodcutters swing to the tree

 I’ll fall in the forest to elbows and knees.

 And it won't make a sound since there's no one around here to see

 I was prepared to love you

 And never expect anything of you

 If a spirit has left you baby don't lie to yourself

 Put them old records on and admit that it's gone somewhere else

 Just because we're beasts of blame by nature doesn't mean that you should carry it again

 It's a question of needs, and not rosary beads, in the end

 I was prepared to love you

 And never expect anything of you

 But there's no patron saint of silent restraint

There ain't no sword in our lake

 Just a funeral wake

 You were the coldest star in the sky

 Only I couldn't see it I was blind

 In come the black night calling your name since you were born

 Only I couldn't hear it I was empty as a drum

 I was prepared to love you

 And never expect anything of you

 But there no patron saint of silent restraint

There ain't no sword in our lake

There ain't no sword in our lake

There ain't no sword in our lake

 Just a funeral wake.
