Hello there, sorry if there s a couple of mistakes in the lyrics, but the chords are all good.
The chords with a dash ( ) are the places I play it as a bar chord because I think
it sounds better, but it doesn t really matter and its up to you. Enjoy.
Capo 1
Standard Tuning
[Verse 1]
You ve made your decision now get up and leave
The familiar sting of the woodcutters swing to the tree
Iâll fall in the forest to elbows and knees.
And it won t make a sound since there s no one around here to see
[Pre-Chorus]
I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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.
