You brought me to trust you brought me to tears 
E
In one tender touch the pain disappears 
E
I have been to the sword seen it come seen it die 
E
As we enter the dark I beseech you to try 
Asus2
In prophecy all good things must end
        F#M             Asus2 
So take care my love my friend 
       E         Asus2
Keep it precious ohhh
E
Keep it precious

E
This yielding is fine this promise rare 
E
One day at a time we've agreed to dare 
E
Holding you tight with wide open arms 
E
I'm letting you go no stranger to harm 
Asus2
Ride your way do not break or bend 
          F#M             Asus2
Just take care my love my friend 
       E         Asus2
Keep it precious ohhh
       E
Keep it precious

        Asus2                       E
And the wonder let the wonder never cease 
        Asus2(hold)         
And the madness of the pleasure and ecstasy 

Danger believing me 
B
Wounding and healing me please 
       E
Keep it precious

E
I believe in your eyes I believe in your fate 
E
I believe we can fly on the wings we create 
E
A voice from behind calls up anger and fear 
E
We can silence that scream it's simple and clear 
Asus2
Nothing must die only if failed to mend 
       F#M              Asus2
So take care my love my friend 
        E
