[Intro]
C G C
[Verse 1]
N.C. G
Faith won't heal up everything.
C G
The wound grows and you believe in love.
G
Walk around feeling cut in two,
C G Em
Wide open, with your heart on view.
Am D G Em
All you bereaved, all you bedazzled boys in need,
Am D G
When love won't heal you, why, why believe she will?
[Chorus]
D G D C
O lyubvi malyu otchayanno.
G C
Say it on your knees.
[Verse 2]

Oh, so sharp, and way too cool,

To think hard, and to lie low.

Candle is a splendid thing--

The room glows, and the candle sings

"fly up to the only light,

"ev'ry, ev'ry tiny wing!"

The moth inside you bolts off to join the beautiful;
Am D G
He flies and dies, so quickly, quickly wise.

O lyubvi malyu otchayanno.
