One two three four five six seven
Am Dm
the word came down to him from heaven
Am Bb Am7
and naked as an animal, he knew:
Am Dm
everything of flesh and bone
Am Dm
he could call it all his own
Am Bb Am7
if he could name it, he could lay claim to it, too
Dm Am
but after all the word was spoken
Dm Am
you sent him out into the open
Bb Dm G
all alone to make his broken promise whole again
Am Dm
eight nine ten eleven twelve
Am Dm
did you see how far he fell?
Am Bb Dm G
did you watch him covering his body in his shame?
Em
and wanting you near him
Am
though you couldn’t hear him
Dm G
he was falling down with your name in his mouth
Am Dm
a thousand thousand years pass through me
Am Dm
stoned on loneliness and movies
Am Bb Am7
where people make their love in foreign tongues
Am Dm
every family locks their door
Am Dm
every man in uniform
Am Bb Am7
reminds me of the body of my own one
Dm Am
i knew you before i met you
Dm Am
i’ve forgotten why i left you
Bb Dm G
all i wanna do is get back into your good grace
Am Dm
call you by your hundred names
Am Dm
till it makes you mine again
Am Bb Dm G
till i get my will back in this godforsaken place
Em
i want you near me
Am
i know you can’t hear me, now
Dm G
but i’m falling down with your name
Em
i want you near me
Am
i wish you could hear me, now
Dm G
while i’m falling down with your name in my mouth
