[Verse 1]

 Em7        Am5
     I asked my father,
                                Em7
     I said, "Father change my name."
                 Am5
     The one I'm using now it's covered up
                                            Em7
     with fear and filth and cowardice and shame.
 
[Chorus]

              C3
     Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
                        G3
     lover, lover come back to me,
              C3
     yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,
                        G3
     lover, lover come back to me.
 
[Verse 2]
                  Am5...
     He said, "I locked you in this body, 
     I meant it as a kind of trial. 
     You can use it for a weapon, 
     or to make some woman smile." 

[Chorus]
(same as above)

      yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, 
      lover, lover come back to me. 

[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)

     "Then let me start again," I cried, 
     "please let me start again, 
     I want a face that's fair this time, 
     I want a spirit that is calm." 

[Chorus]
(same as above)

     Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, 
     lover, lover come back to me 
     yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, 
     lover, lover come back to me. 

[Verse 4]
(same as verse 1)

     "I never never turned aside," he said, 
     "I never walked away. 
     It was you who built the temple, 
     it was you who covered up my face." 

[Chorus]
(same as above)

     yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, 
     lover, lover come back to me. 

[Verse 5]
(same as verse 1)

     And may the spirit of this song, 
     may it rise up pure and free. 
     May it be a shield for you, 
     a shield against the enemy. 

[Chorus]
(same as above)

     Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, 
     lover, lover come back to me 
     yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, 
     lover, lover come back to me.
