The Messenger - written by Daniel Lanois, Covered by the Tea Party
[Intro]
Bm F# G A (X2)
Bm F# G A
Got a letter from a messenger
Bm F# G A
I read it when it came
Bm F# G A
It said - you were wounded
Bm F# G A
You were bound and chained
D G
You had loved and you were handled
D A
You were poisoned you were pained
Bm F# G A Bm F# G A
Oh no, Oh no, you were naked you were shamed
Bm F# G A
You could almost touch heaven
Bm F# G A
Right there in front of you
Bm F# G A
Liberty just slipped away on us
Bm F# G A
Now there's so much work to do
D G
Oh the door that closes tightly
D A
Is the door that can swing wide
Bm F# G A D
Oh no, Oh no, I’m not expecting to collide
G
For a minute I let my guard down
Em D
Not afraid to be found out
G
Completely forgotten
Em D
What our fears were all about
Bm F# G A Bm F# G A
Oh no, Oh no, there's no need to be without
Bm F# G A
If there's a chance - I would take it
Bm F# G A
This desire I can't kill, no
Bm F# G A
Take my heart, please don't break it
Bm F# G A
I will crawl to your foothill
D G
I am frightened but I'm coming
D A
Please baby please lay still
Bm F# G A Bm
Oh no, Oh no, I’m not coming for the kill
F# G A Bm
Oh no, I’m not coming for the kill
F# G A D
Oh no, I’m not coming for the kill
